100 Blog Comments Challenge - The Half Way Mark

I know that we’re more than half way through the week and I will admit that I’m finding this challenge somewhat “challenging”.  Of course, I’m making it more difficult on myself by deciding to link to the posts I’ve commented on.  As a blogger, you can never have too many links (hint! hint! ROFLOL) and since I wanted to track how many comments I’d left this week, I decided I may as well do it this way.  Of course, now all of these posts have 2 comments from  me - 1 on the blog and 1 here (and no, they’re not the same - mostly).

1. Robo Boot Goes to a Graduation Ball

Kell has a wonderful gift of writing.  A very entertaining tale!

2. Queensland Cruise Day 1

I am SO jealous of Libby getting to go on a cruise.  It looks FABULOUS!!!

3. Juggling Act

Yeah, we can’t all do everything.  Bit of a pity that! :(

4. 1am 1st January 2000 (what were you doing?)

14.  Fast Enough?

Oh, my goodness.  Imagine how fast you could get from Sydney to Perth if we had a train that went this fast.  I could do the maths but I can’t be bothered.  LOL.  Let me know if someone does.

15.  Simple Butter Cake Recipe

New recipes are always a winner with me - particularly ones that don’t require multiple steps.  I love the “chuck it all in a bowl and mix” type recipes.  :)

16.  How Aussie Are You?

20.  Attack of the Optimist

McMommy’s posts always make me smile and this one is no exception!  I love reading about other peoples plans and family traditions at this time of year too! :)  I totally want one of these too but you have to call to order one outside of the USA/Canada and the phone call alone would probably cost me a fortune.  Not to mention the postage/shipping.

21.  Another Finish

Frogdancers latest craft project - I don’t know how she fits it all in!!!!

22.  To Write Love on One’s Arms

A touching way to reach out to those suffering from depression and self harm.

Don’t despair if your blog isn’t here.  I still have 50 to go.  Make sure you leave me a comment if you’d like me to visit.  :)

    Wow - that is some challenge! I’m just struggling with NaBloPoMo.

    Thanks for visiting :)

    I thought about trying to do this challenge, but between work, the holidays, and having to put in face time with RL people, I find it hard to even keep up with reading blogs, never mind commenting or writing on my own blog. Maybe this can be a semi-annual thing? You can start a trend!

    What a great challenge… it was lovely to see your comment pop up on my blog.

    You do realise that now I’m going to have to click everyone of those links to see what these people are all about….

     
  5. Trish, 26. November 2009, 14:59

    you are amazing …linking that takes a lot of time. Thanks for commenting on my blog.

    MissyBoo - I’m not even trying to do NaBloPoMo this year. :) Decided to do something different instead.

    Kirsten - I think there is a blog commenting challenge thingy already running. Possibly by the NaBloPoMo people but I’m not sure. :) I understand how difficult it gets. We’re all busy people.

    CB - yeah, well it was well overdue. Hope you’re coping okay being 1 child down! :)

    River - ROFLOL. As long as you don’t abandon ME!!!! ;)

    Trish - Yeah, writing this post took me longer than the actual commenting. All in the name of fun though. I like to be a blogger that gives and don’t feel that I’ve been doing well with that of late. :)

    What a fabulous idea.
    I have to echo what the others are saying. It was wonderful to see your comment pop up.
    Like a long lost friend and of course both of the little mermaids are cute - the felt one and the one who wishes she had a tail.

     
  8. Kelley, 26. November 2009, 16:51

    Wow woman. I may just have to click on those links you know…

    Congratulations, what an effort!! I would have love to have done this commenting challenge this month, but Nov is always crazy for me and this one in particular has been madder than ever. It has indeed inspired me to do something later though, when things have slowed down!
