thanks for the comment and way to go fellow iron commenter!
Wow! That is completely awesome!
And now for week two. :-)
Your mad commenting skillz are insane!
Color me impressed! I took one look at the 200+ blog list and said, "No way."
Holy hell! You're a commenting whore! (In a good way)
Yes, you are awesome! I'm having a hard time with my 5 a day, b/c I'm spending so much time reading...I'm impressed IronWoman! :)
Wow, I am barely keeping up with the 5+1 a day, so go you!
I love your 101 in 1001 idea too! It makes me want to get off my ass!
over acheiver !!!
Love the idea to make a list of where you commented. Unfortunately I have no idea where I have been, but I think I will start this today, for the following weeks.
Also love the 101 things list. What a great idea. I love making lists and crossing things off. Though I might not want to give myself yet another thing to achieve. I am already about to blow a gasket.
Thanks for dropping by my blog. And pointing me in the direction of Antigone. I will go and check her out now.
Go Iron Woman!
I'm impressed!
Do you do anything other than comment? I'm finding 5 plus 1 is a mission. Good on you!
Thanks for your visit xx
Awesome indeed. I'm so easily distracted that it takes all night to get my five and one. I'm busy reading profiles and archives, following links and joining in Show and Tells.
Get some rest and refreshment so you can give it your all in Week 2.
PS. Blogger ate my first comment, hope it's not sitting somewhere waiting to embarrass me by turning up with this one!
You are awesome!!
You are a superstar! I'm in awe that some of you are able to do this. Thanks for stopping by.
Over 200 comments in one week...that is the literary equivalent to climbing Mt. Everest :-)
Kick ass! I'm tired just thinking about it!
You are awesome! I've decided that I am not going to make it. Moving did me in, if it had been during a normal week, I could have done it. I've decided I will make it through all of them at least once. Perhaps I can be a bronze commentor?
WooHoo! You GO girl! I'll be watching for your comments each week. ;)
