    Hey all!

    Happy New Year! My New Years resolution is to get a monthly Post-a-thon going here on WB, and we're going to do it the 4th of every month. Wednesday, January 4th will be our first post-a-thon of 2012 where we can gossip about our holidays, gush over the new engagements, and commiserate over in-laws ;)

    Stop on by! We'll be starting at 7pm EST and going until we get tired! See you Wednesday!

    Woohoo! Are post-a-thons deleted and taken off of postcounts like chat threads?

    We'll start at post-a-thon chat thread and delete that at the end, but you're encouraged to post on all the other threads too!

    Oh sweet deal.  =) I'm off the night.  :D  It'll be funny if my director finally approves my request to switch my work night from the 3rd to the 4th now.  Hahaha.

    What is a post-a-thon?  Just a really big planned chat thread!?

    @Juliepants: We have one chat thread, but we also encourage members to post on any of the threads or create new ones of their own. It's just a big fun online party basically :)

    Bummer, I'm always working when they're going on! It starts at 4pm my time, and I won't be home until 10pm ... fingers crossed it'll still be going strong :-D

    @Miss Godiva: You know we will.  I don't know if you noticed it, but these are going to be rolling now.  Since the date falls on different days of the week each month you are bound to be off for a good amount of them.  Yay, I have missed chatting with you.

    Post-a-thons are a great time to start a thread if you've been thinking about it because so many users are online and posting. :)

    @kate169: Hm. Good question! Can you tell I'm Canadian?! LOL! Maybe when we get closer to the date we can vote if we want to keep it or that one we can move to an alternate date. Fireworks and BBQs are very important business!

    So who's ready for a post-a-thon tonight???

    Hey all!  Just wanted to introduce myself!  My name is Sabrina and my fiance is Mark.  He proposed to me at the end of November so we could share the news with my family when we went to visit them for the holidays.  The proposal was very romantic and private, needless to say after dating for 3 years I was elated with the planning he put into the proposal :)  My family was thrilled and we had the best holiday.  We haven't set a date yet but obviously I am excited to start planning!

    I'm having a friend over from out of town in the evening, but here's hoping you're still going strong after she goes home to sleep at her mom's house!
