You know I like them. You know I am motivated by them.
What you may not realize is that I make a dedicate effort to comment. I believe others enjoy to see the number of comments go up just as much as the next person, perhaps I only tell this to myself to make me feel better..
This doesn't work out too well when loved ones' blogs hate me.
I am speaking of my families' blogs. All of them. Can't leave a comment. It even happened once with my friend.
So, just in case you thought I was ignoring your blogging efforts:
- Katie: I love Fall as much as you do. For basically the exact same reasons. In fact, take away basically. It's for the exact same reasons. And I want to print out a photo of your baby in his pumpkin pajamas and frame it, that's how much I loved those photos.
- Dad: Your post about Hawaii made me wish I was there. And you do have adorable grandchildren, totally unbiased. But the two you posted (not even mine) I could smother in kisses. In fact, their mothers better watch out for that the next time I see those babies.
- Emily: Pixie cuts are the devil to grow out. I am currently in the throes of it. And I agree about Netflix -- it has totally ruined any productivity I might have gained from canceling our cable. Worse, because I can watch an entire season without having to wait.
The rest of you: You're either not posting (DIANA!) or I've commented recently.
I do love blogs. A little too much. In fact, I've begun talking about people I don't even know as if they are close friends because blogs make it too easy to feel like a part of someone's life. Lane thinks it's weird. Perhaps I should try to curtail it some.
I almost forgot to mention (mostly because I am not the best blogger of late), I decorated for Halloween.
The kids love it. L.O.V.E. it. I am so glad they inherited my exhuburance for holidays and birthdays (of course, that is causing a slight problem as Jane has declared at least twice daily for the past 3 weeks that today is her birthday).
I noticed a bit of a strange trend this year: I grouped my Halloween decor. Completely unintentional. But now my compulsive brain can't seperate it and it is what it is.
We have all our normal decor and a few new additions this year:
 |
| Some mice running up the stairs, thank you Martha Stewart. |
 |
| Some friendly ghosts kickin' it in the corner of the breakfast nook. |
 |
| A webby buffet (that Jane helped my with). |
 |
| Thank you Home Goods for delivering on some non-tacky ghoulish decor. |
 |
| I couldn't leave without a mention of the advent calendar. If you don't want to hear a play-by-play again, then tune out starting October 18 (Lane's birthday is the 19th and birthdays are sacred with no opposing scheduling). Jane's been asking every morning if we have started yet. Hooray! |

Love it! I haven't blogged in months because 1. I'm always tired 2. The house is always staring me down and a big 3. I don't type very well with one hand. I will try harder. I also need to decorate for Halloween. Hooray for Fall!!
You crack me up! I love that i found you on blog and face book. it is so fun to hear what you are up to. I was addicted to reading peoples blogs for a while too. Time would fly by because I would see a link from one friend to another. It's still fun I just have to watch the time so I don't use up the entire day.
Ah! I'm envious of your Halloween decor! I haven't put mine up yet for reasons I may or may not blog about. However, I am inspired to be better.
Also, I am TOTALLY with you on loving having comments on my blog. I wasn't going to admit to be self centered or whatever you called it... but it's probably something along those lines with me too :) Either way, I try to repay the favor by faithfully commenting and I love when others do the same, so thank you :)
Love your decorations, and I have put up three or four new posts lately! Proud of me?
yay a public comment!!!!! ps i have that same snow globe from home goods and agree it is hard to find non-tacky halloween decor! i also am lazy a rarely comment...i should because i also enjoy when people leave me comments!!! ps whenever i read olivia the giving tree i think of you...because the book was a gift from you and it has that little personal message you wrote!
LOVE your advent calendar!
And I'm totally with you on comments. Love to get them.
I loved reading your comment, even though it doesn't raise my comment ticker. If I thought it wasn't self-centered, I would frame you a picture of my child and send it to you. But you have the faces of your own sweet babes to fill up walls.
I want your Halloween decor. I really need to get on the ball with that. I want my children to love holidays as much as I do, and I think this is a good way.
I finally got all ur decor out and each year I think I had a lot more till I pull it out and decide it definately needs more. I was wondering how your countdown would go this year with the bun in the oven. Good luck. I feel exhausted just thinking about it. :)
I have that same problem too sometimes. I can't leave comments on some people's blogs. It asks me to sign into my google account, even though I already am. Then when I follow the steps to sign in again, it still won't let me leave a comment. UGH! I wish I knew why it does that on some blogs and not others. Cute Halloween decorations, BTW. I really like the mice running up the stairs...very creative! :)
I am excited to read about your adventures with your calendar. I thought it was such a great idea last year. Now I need to make mine better so than I can put activities for my family to do.
look at all your comments! I love reading your blogs, and sadly have not been into posting on mine ... or posting comments every time I read, but I pledge to do better ... missing our chats!
