Exciting News!!

I am so very excited. Today when making comments on others' blog posts, I realized that my face is showing up on the comment spot, and I have a little rain drop in the corner!! Woo hoo!! Now when I look on my home page, there is a cute little circular logo that brands me as a rain maker!! Yipee!! I don't know how it happened (must have something to do with the endless hours of comments and posts! ya think?), but I am so proud. I guess the fact that I'm spending lots of time and energy blogging and commenting on Active Rain must have caused the kind and generous "Rain clouds" to grant me my wish--my face beside my comment!!

Now, my next goal: 10,000 points. When I see how many some of you have accumulated, I am amazed at how long it takes to get there. Now, next time my husband says: "What do you do on that computer all the time?" I can tell him: "I have a face and a raindrop and I am closing in on 10,000 points!" Do you think he will understand? Probaby not, but anyway.... Ready 2 Stage thanks "Rain clouds!!"

Loving the Rain!!!!!

Lori, My husband use to ask the same thing...then he quit after I started receiving referrals. Now I'm working...not just playing around on the computer anymore. I've been on AR for year now and can't believe how many points I've racked up.

Lori ~ Good for you, you little Rain Drop you! : ) I have told my hubby from day one that "I'm working" when he asks what I'm doing online. I say it with more feeling now (not like I'm trying to get one over on him like the first time!).

Congrats Lori! The face next to the name is a good thing :) Think of the points as education, as there is so many wonderful things to learn and share on AR.

My hubby didn't understand all the fuss about AR in the beginning.......... But he sees the friends I have made and the help I have been given. AR is a fabulous network to make friends, learn, share, get referrals, I could go on and on! He still rolls his eyes a little though :) Now he is trying to understand my love of Twitter................

Interesting comments. My husband also wonders what I am doing on the computer for so long. However, he is a computer nut and actually has a brake, gas pedal and a steering wheel set up on his computer and enters car races all over the world, plays backgammon and chess with players all over the world too.

To each is own eh? I luv Active Rain.

Congratulations! You will hit 10,000 before you know it and then on to 20,000...I guess we all are in the same situation as far as husbands go! Mine gets it now, but it took awhile.

Donna--Hope my referrals will be showing up soon! Thanks for your comments.

Terrylynn--Thanks for your comments. Commenting takes on new meaning now. I will be commenting to the point of obnoxious!! haha

Kathy--Of course we are working....24/7. It's great that it's fun, too! Thanks for your comments.

Wendy--I have learned so much from AR and I love checking out the before & after photos. I haven't gotten into the Twitter thing yet....I'm kind of afraid to get started. Thanks for commenting.

Sharon--My husband doesn't really care for being online, so he just thinks it is a big time waster! I say it's business baby! Thanks for commenting.

Sharon T--Thanks. 10,000 points will be here soon and then my new goal: 20,000. I guess I should figure out how to make my pages look a little better in between now and then. I think I may find a new photo of me, and some more decoration for my blog page.

Have a great day everyone!

It is work -- but it sure can be fun! There is always something we can do to add or update our profiles too isn't there! Persistance pays off -- we've received lots of business here!
