Happy Blog Birthday...please, no presents...unless your name is Bill

Happy 1 year Blog day to me! Like I say, I like to celebrate things.

Why I love Blogging:
  1. I have been able to connect with old friends that I haven't seen in years. I love this! I (unlike many in my family) am a very social person and love to still be involved in peoples' lives, even if they are all the way across the country. And honestly, being a mom of a child with special needs is a VERY isolating feeling sometimes. So, if I can connect with y'all this way, it keeps me off my ledge. That's why blogging is not a waste of time.
  2. I'm a horrible journal keeper because it isn't very fun....blogging IS fun!
  3. It's a non-obligatory way of keeping people abreast of my going-ons. No one HAS to read it (except Bill), but they only do if they want. I like that!
  4. I love reading my friends' blogs and see that their lives aren't perfect either.
  5. I love comments.....it makes me happy to hear from you all and I try diligently to keep up with all of your blogs.

Now...I'm still not very good at it. I haven't figured out how to put a site meter, images, new backgrounds, and a lot of other things on my blog, but I'll do that one day. Right now...it's just a bare bones blog that enables me to brag or bash on my kids/husband, share big moments, share little moments, and basically just spout off random thoughts into the universe.....thanks for reading!

I think I'll get you a journal for your Blog Birthday or is this one of those times that "hardware" is required?

Happy Blog Birthday! I will come over when I'm in town for Christmas and give you a sitemeter. It is fun to see that there are people in Afghanistan (or wherever) reading your blog!

I too am glad you blog. It makes me feel that anytime I would run into you I'm not some long lost friend. I can still hold on to the love I have for you and your family!

Happy Blog Anniversary!! It's so fun to read, especially because you write the way you talk so I can totally here your voice when I read your blog.

Here's to hoping you and your blog have another happy year together!!

Congrats on your anniversary. And may I say you make me laugh every time I come here. To Bill: Go get your cute wife a blogging gift...maybe flowers or chocolate!!
