But we're planning on mudding and taping out sheetrock over the next two weeks. Talk about dust!

I do think about it on a regular basis, however, so I hope that counts for something!<BR/><BR/>And thanks for the award! I got one once before, but couldn't figure out how to put the little award button on my blog (because I'm genius like that). Maybe this time I'll be able to figure it out. Even if I don't, however, I'll still be basking in your compliments for at least a week - maybe more. And yes, you do seem like me in the save-it-for-dessert ideology. I've noticed too.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again! You rock!J.

Just tiptoeing around on the second floor would send a flurry of sawdust raining down on those sitting in the kitchen below. That is where I learned to hate dusting! So I'm with you, girl. Don't dust. {of course, this is coming from someone who allowed buckets of the fake stuff to be thrown around the living room just so we could have a 'white christmas' for a day.

I am so lucky in that I don't see well and rarely see dust at all so it doesn't bother me, but I am guessing you have a ton of visible dust or you wouldn't be bothered by it either. Crum! My fake tree is 14 years old and doesn't look dirty (at least not to my weak eyes) but when I am done putting it up or down, my hands are pretty darn dirty. I did recently de-dust my fake topiaries that sit on my mantle all year long for close to twenty years, now (I'm so oldddddd!) and that really did look like snow! If you are getting that several times a week, I would pretend that it was part of the Christmas decor, too (or move--Yikes!)Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12660156433881882098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869329841369921947.post-43470425010391144022008-12-09T17:31:00.000+01:002008-12-09T17:31:00.000+01:00I only dust before I put the decorations up, and a...I only dust before I put the decorations up, and after--so that makes it twice a year.Kaylynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041085738128248862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869329841369921947.post-37118204145047118822008-12-09T17:29:00.000+01:002008-12-09T17:29:00.000+01:00Do you live near a construction zone or something?...Do you live near a construction zone or something?

Ever.<BR/><BR/>Also, we, too, put up our tree the day after Thanksgiving. And it's always real and always makes it through Christmas, and often (although rather dead by then) all the way through New Year's. So go for real! And leave the dusting for the non-bloggers: they have way more time on their hands. :)Andi Kate, Children's Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06276051519521844931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869329841369921947.post-45051792628414610162008-12-09T17:17:00.000+01:002008-12-09T17:17:00.000+01:00I'm afraid I wouldn't even notice that my tree nee...I'm afraid I wouldn't even notice that my tree needed dusting.Annette Lyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12493583432919249814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869329841369921947.post-21856358484354378162008-12-09T15:30:00.000+01:002008-12-09T15:30:00.000+01:00People dust Christmas trees?!
