A Friday Twofer…

You get a twofer today. Christmas and Author Lisa Kessler’s Friday Happy Day of JOY!!! in one video package.

This came across my Twitter stream on Thursday, courtesy of New York Times and USA TODAY Best Selling Author Teresa Medeiros. You can find Medeiros, and her wonderful books, here.

It was just so infectious and joy-giving, I had to share it here…with you.

TGIF, baby!

I flit, I float, I fleetly flee…

Tomorrow is the last day of 30 days of blogging in November for NaBloPoMo on BlogHer.

I did it.

With enthusiasm, I did it.

For the third time, I did it.

I did it for November of 2010.

I did it for October of 2011.

As of posting tomorrow, I will have done it for November of 2011.

I done did it.

It’s challenging to blog every day each month. Like any other writing, the more you write, the more you write. It sharpens the skills and, hopefully, makes you a more consistent and better blogger.

That being said, I won’t be going down that road again.

Like Louisa in The Sound of Music, I flit, I float, I fleetly flee…

I won’t say never.

It’s possible I could blog every day another month, but I won’t be challenging myself to do so.

Why?

Because, as a blogger, I prefer a 5-day, M-F schedule. Saturday and Sunday, I want to direct my attention elsewhere.

I want to get out and smell the E.D. Smith strawberry jam exhaust wafting out of Winona, or the yeasty smell of Ace Bakery bread drifting out of the GTA (Greater Toronto Area). I want to bird watch, cat nap, read a book, burn a calorie.

You get the picture.

And, frankly, I don’t think the great swell of the Internet cares about weekend blog lite. Like Black Friday, I think they’re gone, baby gone — watching the bird, napping the cat, sniffing the air, burning a calorie…

If you haven’t signed on for a NaBloPoMo challenge, you might want to give it a try. The badge at the top of this post is a live link and will take you there.

I did it.

Well, as of posting tomorrow, I will have done it!

I can’t stop myself…

It’s the Friday after American Thanksgiving, aka Black Friday. You could throw a bowling ball through Blogland today and nobody would notice.

America is shopping — at the malls, on the intertoobs.

Canada, too. Oh, yes. We are.

Well, not me. I’m here posting for NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month). After today, five more days and counting!

We’re doing the More-Thanksgiving-Humor-Friday-Happy-Dance-of-JOY!!! today. FHDoJ concept by Author Lisa Kessler.

I can’t stop myself…

I can see you *shimmying* through the intertoobs, Lisa!
