Happy Blogoversary To Me
On this very date in 2005, August 18th, this little blog was born.
The months leading up to it, I was cranky and uncomfortable. Fat and eating everything in sight. I couldn’t sleep. I bitched at everyone about everything.
It was horrible.
I went into labor the evening before, on August 17th, 2005. It got pretty intense and I was yelling obscenities at my husband.
A mere 8 hours later, there it was - my brand new little blog. I looked it in the eye and I just knew that it would be my redemption. That because of it, I would be a better person.
At first, I fawned over it constantly, gave it as much love and attention as any new blogger would give to such a precious newborn blog. But I’m ashamed to say that over time, I started to take it for granted and there were weeks where I was downright neglectful. I was never cruel, I never loved it any less, but I was selfish and didn’t give my precious blog what it needed and deserved.
I’m trying to make up for it now. As a blogoversary gift, I’ve given it a complete make-over, full spa treatment. I’ve showered it with attention this week and I plan to re-double my efforts to be a good blogger, to properly appreciate the value of my blog.
So… from now on, I’ll be chaining up my children to the furnace it the basement. I’ll be handing my husband a jumbo Costco sized bottle of KY Jelly and locking him in his office with his slutty, porn-filled square-headed girlfriend. We’ll all eat PB&J for every meal. I won’t clean my house (OK, to be honest, I already wasn’t cleaning, but I digress…) This will give me ample and sufficient time to devote to my blog.
Because, Internet, I’m just that dedicated, that passionate.
Happy Blogoversary to Me.
