It’s my blogoversary. Woo hoo! I can’t believe my baby is one year old today. Funny how so many things can change in a year. I started this blog as a way to share my daughter’s/dog’s antics with everyone. They just produce so much laughter and enjoyment I felt selfish not letting everyone join in on the fun. My very first post was about my fear of turning into a crazy dog lady. Followed by one of my favorite posts about what, on a daily basis, comes out of my daughter’s mouth.
And then, a mere month into my family oriented blog things started to turn sour. A bad breakup with my significant other resulted in an unfortunate whine/rant/bitchfest for approximately three months. It all started with this post, and evolved into this sad tale.
While still feeling sad and bitter I posted this which was the precursor to my Feisty Fridays. I still had some humor left in me and began posting more of my daughter’s snarky remarks. Then came the first, ever, Feisty Friday.
The new year saw me coming out of the dark pit of despair and I started dabbling in MS Paint for added entertainment. I also managed to eek out some fun interviews with the girl child, included more of the child’s crazy antics and found no more need for the nasty bitchfest posts.
Things were looking up again and I was getting my zany self back. I began focusing more on everything around me…and not so much the things inside me. I wanted to have fun so I, like many other bloggers, delved into the craziness of the search engine. And now, as 2LD turns one, it seems I’ve come full circle as I look to my post a few days ago about puppers.
Some of you have been along for the entire ride, and I want you to know how much I truly appreciate all of your support, your comments, your humor…you helped me get through an amazingly difficult time and I often think back and wonder if I ever would have come out of my funk so quickly if it hadn’t been for this blog and the outpouring of support and uplifting words. For those of you who are new here…thank you for joining me. You, too, make every day a pleasure with your comments, your input and your friendships. Here’s to another great year…and many, many more!
Woohoo! Congratulations! It’s funny how several of my blogfriends started around the same time as me. I’m so glad you did!! I always look forward to your posts!
That cake looks really yummy!
Thanks, Girly. Yes, it is funny how it seems many of us started around the same time. I’m glad we all found each other!
Congratulations! I went back and read some of your older posts and then found a comment from Dead Charming written much later than the post telling you he loved you. That was so sweet I got teary. Blogging does help to get through the bad times. I am at 11 months today so my 1 year is next month. Where has the time gone?
Thanks, Joan. He does have a way of making you tear up, doesn’t he? He always knows the right thing to say.
Oooo…we get to celebrate your blogoversary soon. Yipee!
Congrats and I wish you many happy returns.
Thanks, darlin’, I appreciate that!
Happy blogoversary! Isn’t blogging rad? I love all the new friends I’ve made, especially the one that I’m gonna, like, marry, and junk
Thanks, Em. Blogging is awe.some. I never could have imagined I’d meet ALL these wonderful folks. And it’s extra-cool that you met the one you’re gonna marry. Woo hoo!
HAPPY BLOGOVERSARY!!! My, look how you’ve grown.
The internet is an amazing thing, isn’t it? 
Thanks, Mr. P. The little blog is growing up. I sure am glad I started blogging and was able to connect with all you amazing people! Yes, indeed, the internet is an amazing thing.
Oh, happy blogiversary, 2LD! I see your blog has helped you through ups and downs and has evolved as time has passed. I feel mine has done the same for/with me. I wish you many more happy years of blogging ahead and hope your blog continues to grow with you on your life path! Hugs!
Thanks so much, Teeni! Who would have thought a simple thing such as a blog would bring so much pleasure, help with personal growth, and allow me to connect with amazing people. Yay for blogging! Thank you for your wishes!
Happy 1 Year Anniversary Shari, you ROCK baby! I’m so glad to have met you and be able to tag along through your ups and downs
xoxoxox
Thanks so much, darling! I’m extremely glad I met you, as well. And so glad you’ve stuck with me through all these up and downs. Here’s to many more (hopefully, more ups than downs)! MWAH!
WHOO HOO!!! One year down with many more to come. Thanks for letting us glimpse in your life and take part.
Thank you! Hopefully, this year will be as full of glimpses as last!
oh and “PS” to my comment on your other post: HAPPY BLOGAVERSARY!
Thank you, thank you!
I just celebrated mine too, only I was a few days late…
Woooo…happy blogoversary to you, too!
Oh…I missed it, well then, happy years to come!
Awwww…thanks for the wishes!
A belated Happy Blogoversary to you and your wonderful site. I am so happy I found you. Today, I’ve been trying to play catch up, and while it would take hours to comment on all of the posts I’ve missed of late, I do want to tell you that you’re hilarious and warm and wonderful, and you keep me laughing. I love that brain of yours. So here’s to another 100 years of 2LD! Will you pass me a Sam Adams?
P.S. I love your old house. I gravitate toward that kind of dwelling (one gal’s house is another gals hellhole), but the closet thing is always such a pain! I really enjoyed those pics.
Hi MB,
Thank you so much for your lovely comment! I’m so glad that I found you, as well. EEk. Another 100 years of 2LD? That’s a lot of pressure lady. Heeheeeheehee. Here ya go…one Sam Adams coming up. Cheers! (hope you’re feeling better – beer probably isn’t the best choice for you right now).
I do love old houses. You couldn’t put me into a newer house. Well, maybe, if it was huge and stylishly furnished, and FREE. Yep, then I guess I couldn’t pass it up.
