Got my Big Girl Panties on today...

If you are a reader of this blog, {or any blog}, you really should read this post by Beth at I Should Be Folding Laundry. She has summed up the way 99.99% of bloggers feel about their commentors and blogging in general.

One of my favorite excerpts:
"You may think that what you have to say doesn't matter or your words are insignificant. You may find it hard to believe, but your words are important, they make a difference. Every comment that comes through my blog, is read and appreciated and I know I am not the only blogger who feels this way. I KNOW THIS."


Many times, I don't comment on your blogs because I have nothing relevant to say or because I am somewhat afraid of being seen for what I truly am - a dork in big girl panties. But after reading that post, I don't care anymore. I'm letting my little liiiiiight soooooo shine before your blogs from here on out. Call me a goober, I don't care. At least I've got my big-girl panties on. {which by the way, I had to go down a size in, because I've lost twenty pounds!!!}

Oh, and hey - this whole Twitter thing? If you twitter, I want to follow you. Look in my middle column for my Twitterings and follow me if you so desire! {Follow! Follow...I will follow You-hoo. Anywhere, everywhere...I will follow on...}

I read every day and I will try to comment more often!
Sometimes I have babies in my lap and it's hard because she likes to comment too.

I love me comments. Nothing makes me feel better than seeing comments in my inbox.

Way to go on losing 20 lbs! You rock!

I'm like you, sometimes I comment, usually I comment, but occasionally I just can't think of anything to say, so I'm quiet.

So, here I am saying something back at ya! You in your big girl panties and me in mine. :o)

Twenty pounds? For serious? That's awesome! I've lost fifteen in the last six weeks and I want to drop ten more before the next baby. That gives me a few years to work on it! Congratulations!

When I go to read someones blog, there are times I can't put my thoughts into words, then I think about how I feel when I look at my own blog and see no comments... so I end up with something that may sound stupid but at least they know someone is "stopping by"

So thanks for comments :-)

All good things come in Threes - a giveaway!

***If you're here via Bloggy Giveaways - please go to item #3 - that's the giveaway!*** Mondays are good days for announcing things, don't you think? It's long been known that I'm a maker of lists and enjoy the pleasure of accomplishing tasks and marking them off of said lists, if for nothing else than just the satisfaction of seeing something was actually completed. 1. My brand-spanking new Design Blog is finished. I am so excited about it - I coded it myself (which explains why some of you who have MSIE6 and FF2.0 will have viewing issues - working on the bugs still). You can visit it if you like, or not. I still have some work to do on it and there are still a few pages that are either buggy or not complete, but honestly? I just wanted to get it out there so I could announce part two of my list. 2. My order pad is open for business. Yay! I already have a wait-list of five people, but I will accept new clients as well - please go to my new Design Blog for the ne...

Biggest Bloggy Giveaway Carnival Ever - get ya some!

Image
It's finally here - the latest edition of Bloggy Giveaways. For information on how the carnival works, check here -- in a nutshell, lots of bloggers are having giveaways on their blogs and all you have to do is comment for a chance to win. This is my very first-ever and I'm so excited, because I actually have one of these necklaces myself, so if you win, we can pretend to be bbff (bloggy best friends forever). This is a 14K gold cherub pendant worth $125! I purchased two of them about a year ago with the thought that I would eventually give one of them away, so I guess I was waiting for such an occasion as this. And just in time for Valentine's Day. You can keep it for yourself, or give it away -- you decide. Heck, I'm feeling generous -- I'll even throw in the silk and velvet bag it's pictured on. :) It's quite dainty, measuring about 16 inches total length. How to win: 1. To enter, just leave me a comment. You don’t have to be a blogger to enter, but you ...
