Jen (http://herewegoajen.com/?p=1450 ) has insanely awesome news. There was no way I couldn’t comment on it

and I am going to use that picture of the peanut butter cup to inspire me to ramp up my commenting

2 loribeth { 03.10.11 at 8:19 am }

OK, after reading Meghan’s comment above, I had to go look. And after reading, I had to leave a comment too. : ) (Also, having seens photos of past years’ baskets, I had to enter at least once…!) http://herewegoajen.com/?p=1450

3 April { 03.10.11 at 8:25 am }

I also just cam from Jen’s blog http://herewegoajen.com/?p=1450 and she really does have awesome news.

4 loribeth { 03.10.11 at 8:25 am }

Mali at A Separate Life has a great post about comments & what makes a good one that I know you’d love, Mel. : )

5 Cece { 03.10.11 at 8:32 am }

I left a comment at Jen’s, because she has exciting news! http://herewegoajen.com/?p=1450

6 HereWeGoAJen { 03.10.11 at 8:37 am }

Hehe. This is fun. Apparently I had good timing.

7 HereWeGoAJen { 03.10.11 at 8:43 am }

(You know I leave a lot of comments right? I’ll probably give up at some point today, but for now, hang on.)

I left a comment for Trish: http://livelovegive.typepad.com/living_loving_giving/2011/03/perspective.html

9 April { 03.10.11 at 8:47 am }

Also on Alex’s blog. She had a roller coaster of a day, but has wonderful news to share.

10 MommyInWaiting { 03.10.11 at 8:48 am }

Yummy!

Today I had the awesomest pleasure of leaving a comment on a cyber friend’s blog congratulating her on her super fantastic beta! It was such a long awaited beta, she has been through so much and through it all has been such an inspiration and support to me. I cannot express enough how thrilled I am for her. So without further ado – I commented on Cam’s Post over at Angels On My Mind: http://angelsonmymind.blogspot.com/2011/03/1st-beta.html

PS please stop by and say congrats to her!

11 HereWeGoAJen { 03.10.11 at 8:51 am }

13 Baby Smiling In Back Seat { 03.10.11 at 8:58 am }

I’m not eligible since I won this contest last year (by leaving dozens of comments all over the blogosphere), but let me just say that Mel is an amazing baker and her mishloach manot is one of the reasons that I LOVE PURIM.

14 Battynurse { 03.10.11 at 10:02 am }

All those yummys look soooooo good. I left a comment on JJ’s blog, she lost her grandfather recently.

15 N { 03.10.11 at 10:09 am }

Not entering at this moment, but oh MAN, sea salt peanut butter cups? I am dead merely of the thought.

16 Justine { 03.10.11 at 10:12 am }

http://delinquenteggs.blogspot.com/2011/03/baby-d-has-head.html … Adele has awesome news! And she is scared, but I’m privileged to hold her hand.

17 Justine { 03.10.11 at 10:14 am }

http://delinquenteggs.blogspot.com/2011/03/baby-d-has-head.html InBetween is past her due date and feels like this is a cruel joke for an IF … go be with her!

18 Justine { 03.10.11 at 10:16 am }

oops … wrong link … http://survivingacademia.blogspot.com/2011/03/waiting-game.html InBetween is past her due date and feels like this is a cruel joke for an IF … go be with her!

19 Justine { 03.10.11 at 10:17 am }

http://whatsinlaurensuterus.blogspot.com/2011/03/old-pro.html … Lauren took pictures of her pharmacy today. I was bowled over.

20 Justine { 03.10.11 at 10:18 am }

http://2years2tryfor1.blogspot.com/2011/03/absolutely-nothing-to-do-with-ttc-if.html … I had to laugh at the list of 80s music. It was a walk down amnesia lane.

21 Justine { 03.10.11 at 10:19 am }

Kate posted pictures of her projects … she is so talented! http://stillivingthedream.blogspot.com/2011/03/crafties-yup-again-but-with-pictures.html

22 Justine { 03.10.11 at 10:21 am }

http://theconceivablefuture.com/?p=548 Andie’s dh is away, so March is a wash, and she’s feeling frustrated. She could use support.

23 aisha { 03.10.11 at 10:29 am }

Love this post by Lamb on blogging and social media- though you Mel, certainly don’t need advice on that point! http://warriorwriters.wordpress.com/2011/03/09/blogging-and-maintaining-our-sanity-part-one/

24 Justine { 03.10.11 at 10:36 am }

I love HereWeGoAJen, and had commented on her awesome news before I saw this : http://herewegoajen.com/?p=1450

25 magpie { 03.10.11 at 10:47 am }

1) I left a comment here:http://lotsalaundry.blogspot.com/2011/03/meeting-of-minds.html

She’s a great writer, and an astute parent, and she has some hard shit on her plate right now.

26 magpie { 03.10.11 at 10:48 am }

2) And I left a comment here: http://sarahandthegoonsquad.com/2011/03/07/the-20th-reunion/comment-page-1/#comment-39859

Actually I think I left comments on two of her posts…

27 magpie { 03.10.11 at 10:48 am }

3) And I left a comment here: http://coffeeyogurt.blogspot.com/2011/03/rocking-my-red-flats.html

Even though I am not wearing red shoes.

28 magpie { 03.10.11 at 10:49 am }

4) And I left a comment here:
http://www.mamabirddiaries.com/the-mamabird-diaries/from-super-diamond-to-the-beliebers/

Because, you know, Lady Gaga isn’t half bad.

29 magpie { 03.10.11 at 10:49 am }

5) And I left a comment here:
http://ifbyyes.wordpress.com/2011/03/08/babbys-first-cephalopod/#comment-2773

Because it cracked me up that she was feeding squid to her six month old as his first solid food. Or one of them.

30 magpie { 03.10.11 at 10:52 am }

6) Oh, and I left a comment on another post of yours:
http://www.stirrup-queens.com/2011/03/the-hcg-diet/

Does that count?

31 Justine { 03.10.11 at 10:55 am }

http://the2weekwait.blogspot.com/2011/03/terminal-two-week-wait.htm … Jay has an awesome post on the 2WW and perspective …

32 Justine { 03.10.11 at 10:59 am }

I love Keiko’s post for International Women’s Day … she asks us all to think about why we rock. http://hannahweptsarahlaughed.blogspot.com/2011/03/lets-celebrate-women-for-international.html

33 magpie { 03.10.11 at 11:36 am }

(I’m on a roll.)

7) I left a comment here:
http://writingasjoe.blogspot.com/2011/03/whats-red-and-not-there.html

Yum. Home processed tomatoes.

34 magpie { 03.10.11 at 11:37 am }

8) And here:

http://www.schmutzie.com/weblog/2011/3/8/lets-panic-about-babies-is-pretty-twisted-and-you-probably-w.html

Not that I need that book (I have one!), but because Schmutzie looks like she has a beard…

35 magpie { 03.10.11 at 11:38 am }

(The previous comment was #8 but the 8 turned into a weird emoticon!)

9) And here:

http://peaceableimperatrix.wordpress.com/2011/03/10/how-to-make-crepes-my-way/

Because, yum, crepes – with non-standard measuring to boot.

36 magpie { 03.10.11 at 11:42 am }

10) And finally here:

http://jugglinglife.typepad.com/juggling_life/2011/03/its-official-hes-danger-man.html

Because, birthday and all. Had to.

I think I’m done. Ten. Good round number. Can I have some chocolate now?

37 Jendeis { 03.10.11 at 1:14 pm }

Also commented on Herewegoajen. Yay!

38 Jendeis { 03.10.11 at 1:15 pm }

Jess is doing a challenge to list 25 good things for each day of Lent and she’ll wind up with 1000 good things in her life. Such a wonderful idea. http://jwhite05.blogspot.com/2011/03/one-thousand-gifts.html

39 Justine { 03.10.11 at 1:19 pm }

http://serenitynowinfertile.wordpress.com/2011/03/10/the-somewhat-freaky-perfect-moment-wednesday/ … Serenity is such an awesome writer, and this post describes a “perfect” moment with her son.

40 Justine { 03.10.11 at 1:39 pm }

http://www.almostallthetruth.com/2011/03/its-international-womens-day-2011/ … a great post about the importance of educating women and supporting each other … locally and globally.

41 Lori Lavender Luz { 03.10.11 at 2:05 pm }

You owe me a new laptop because mine just had a drool short.

JJ is experiencing opposite emotions over on ReproJeans.
http://reproductivejeans.blogspot.com/2011/03/no-name.html

You’ve made Purim my favorite holiday. And, like Madonna, I’m changing my name to Esther.

42 Chickenpig { 03.10.11 at 2:07 pm }

I also left a post over at herewegoagain. Please forgive me for not putting the URL here right now. It is certainly good news, indeed. I’ll be going to comment elsewhere as soon as I’m free. Those sea salt peanut butter cups look to die for

43 VA Blondie { 03.10.11 at 2:10 pm }

That basket of goodies looks wonderful!

I left a comment here
http://chroniclesofpookahsmom.com/2011/03/back-to-my-reality/#comment-3029

Rose’s Daughter is going back to work after a surgical procedure, and realizing she needs space for herself. (Something I struggle with!)

44 VA Blondie { 03.10.11 at 2:11 pm }

After reading the comments, I looked at N’s post, and left a comment here
http://2years2tryfor1.blogspot.com/2011/03/absolutely-nothing-to-do-with-ttc-if.html#comment-form

Brings back memories!

45 FET Accompli { 03.10.11 at 2:28 pm }

Clare has reached a major milestone, she’s interviewing midwives – she’s so happy to have reached this point. Plus, it looks like she has found a great midwife match:

http://thepitter-patter.blogspot.com/2011/03/good-news.html

I left a comment on that post

46 Kathy { 03.10.11 at 3:02 pm }

Joining the chorus of people rejocing with Jen!
http://herewegoajen.com/?p=1450

She sure does have good timing, eh?! I wonder what big news I can come up with to annouce on the day you put up this post next year?!

I have a busy day today with a showing of our house in a few hours, but will be back over the next few days with more comment links.

Those PB cups look awesome!

53 Kimberly { 03.10.11 at 3:42 pm }

Found via Justine above – http://2years2tryfor1.blogspot.com/2011/03/absolutely-nothing-to-do-with-ttc-if.html — 80s music is my all the time playlist

Also, the Purim giveaway is the best time of the year, I have never won but I love seeing it pop up!!

And Amanda: http://waitinginline.blogspot.com/2011/03/so-why-are-you-so-upset.html

And I am going to have to stop for now (and I haven’t even done any comments just for the contest either, these are just my regular comments). I have to clean the kitchen and make some dinner. Tacos, anyone?

56 Pam { 03.10.11 at 4:26 pm }

I left a comment for Jen as well http://herewegoajen.com/?p=1450

57 Ceejay { 03.10.11 at 4:56 pm }

I just commented on Alex’s blog because she just got a BFP, and I’m so excited for her! http://manyadventuresofalex.blogspot.com/2011/03/what-day.html

58 Ceejay { 03.10.11 at 5:08 pm }

I commented on Dee’s update about life with TRIPLETS! It’s fascinating to read her tales: http://deetrips.blogspot.com/2011/03/time-is-flying.html.

59 Ceejay { 03.10.11 at 5:27 pm }

I love Amanda’s blog because she’s facing the exact same (rare) fertility issue I did–and is on her way to recovering naturally! http://ourfertility.blogspot.com/2011/03/male-fertility-article-progesterone.html

60 jjiraffe { 03.10.11 at 5:36 pm }

Oh man, this reminds me I am in charge of baking all the Purim desserts for the twins pre-school! I don’t even know where to begin! Yikes. Your basket looks amazing.

I commented on Bodega Bliss’s beautiful and heartbreaking post about a heartbeat.
http://bodegabliss.wordpress.com/2011/03/10/heartbeat/

61 jjiraffe { 03.10.11 at 5:40 pm }

And I also commented on Elphaba’s review of a ridiculously bad movie about adoption. Like everything she writes, it made me laugh and think.

http://eggsandsperm.com/2011/03/10/the-dark-side-of-adoption/

62 Ceejay { 03.10.11 at 6:09 pm }

Kitchen Stewardship is another of my favorite blogs on issues of getting rid of chemicals and living more naturally, so I commented there recently: http://www.kitchenstewardship.com/2011/03/10/seeking-the-perfect-homemade-whole-wheat-a-pause-and-whats-coming-instead/#comment-71346.

63 Jem { 03.10.11 at 6:24 pm }

Please go check out Hillary’s post about adoption and an interesting analogy (http://makingmemom.blogspot.com/2011/03/analogy.html). The post is so spot on and I let her know that I forwarded it to my husband to read so he could understand my feelings about moving on to “Just adopting.”

64 Ceejay { 03.10.11 at 6:32 pm }

I loved (and commented on) this blog post about ways to foster a love for reading in your children: http://www.babywisemom.com/2011/03/teaching-children-to-love-to-read.html

65 Ceejay { 03.10.11 at 6:36 pm }

Josey’s one of my favorite bloggy friends. She’s so upbeat and fun, as exemplified by the picture in this post of her sunbathing with snow on the ground: http://mycheapversionoftherapy.blogspot.com/2011/03/bliss.html

66 AL { 03.10.11 at 6:36 pm }

I commented on Elphaba’s HILARIOUS post about an adoption movie she watched on Showtime. http://eggsandsperm.com/2011/03/10/the-dark-side-of-adoption/

68 Betsy { 03.10.11 at 6:43 pm }

I commented on STFU Fertiles, in regards to someone that whined about TTC for three months. http://stfuferts.blogspot.com/2011/03/facebook-fertile.html

69 Jem { 03.10.11 at 6:45 pm }

I also commented on this perfect moment – http://serenitynowinfertile.wordpress.com/2011/03/10/the-somewhat-freaky-perfect-moment-wednesday/

70 Ceejay { 03.10.11 at 6:47 pm }

I hung out with another of my dearest bloggy friends as she waits at 39 weeks for her body to kick into labor: http://elusiveembryo.blogspot.com/2011/03/things-i-learned-today.html

I held hands with Adele as she steps through a very anxiety-ridden first trimester (after repeated losses): http://delinquenteggs.blogspot.com/2011/03/ob-appointment-decisions.html.

72 Ceejay { 03.10.11 at 6:58 pm }

I was really interested in this post by one of my literature-loving blogger friends about the books on her list to read: http://infertilefollies.wordpress.com/2011/03/06/making-the-ferts-jealous/

73 Ceejay { 03.10.11 at 6:59 pm }

I laughed at this post about the all-too-common emotions many women feel towards their husbands in the weeks after giving birth: http://roadtomotherhood.wordpress.com/2011/03/08/dont-drown-the-husband/

Hillary wrote an insightful post about the choices that we face to resolve our infertility and the comments that people make along the way. She says “…the deeper reason behind my anger and frustration when people say, “Just adopt.” It is not really because adoption is actually quite difficult, but it is more because I feel like my grief is completely unacknowledged and unimportant.” Oh my gosh can I relate.
