Well hello there. I signed up for this blog thing about a month ago, and I've been pretty bad about actually writing anything. So here it is: my first blog entry.
I've been busy since November 1st out in the yard...well, OK...up on the roof line getting Christmas lights hanging. So far I have 1,900 up, and looking at around 31,000 total for this year. My lights on goal is Thanksgiving, and it ain't lookin' like that's going to happen. But things can change. I have 29,100 more to hang. The thing is, the icicles are fairly difficult to hang. Not only do they take more time because I constantly have to go up and down the ladder (which I'm feeling in every muscle in my legs at the minute), but I have two layers of icicles going all the way across the roof. A layer of white, and a layer of blue. To add to that, I have a third layer of icicles around the porch overhang that is a slightly different shade of blue. And on top of that I have yet another layer of lights that goes all the way across the roof. It's a string of 30 curtain strobes that I bought from Darryl Brown of Christmaslightshow.com at PLUS2007 back in August. That will be a neat effect (and you'll be able to see it in other areas of the display, too).
But once I get down onto the ground work, the display should fly right along. I figure I'll finish hanging the icicles and strobes tomorrow (technically today) and then get started on the ground work on Wednesday.
Oh, and I still have sequencing to do...lots and lots of sequencing!
It's 12:49 AM on Tuesday, November 13, 2007...time to get some sleep so I can get up and work! I'll write more later!

Am so excited to see the light show. I know it will be spectacular!
Can I just say that I'm glad the window to my room is no longer right there by all those lights. I am Kenny's sister and I until I moved out...there were always two months of my life that I had to go without sleep because of Christmas lights. I'm probably the Bah Humbug of the family, but I can live with that. Good luck this year Kenny. You finally have my support 100%!!!
It should be good!
And we'll be expecting lots of pictures!!!
