Oh honey, I'm sorry. I forgot our anniversary.

Can you forgive me? Even though everyone knows the anniversaries that end in a zero or a five are the important ones?

Because it was on August 10th, 2004, that I started blogging by posting this.

Five years later, I've made some incredible friends, gone to some amazing blogging conferences, and even started working as a free-lance writer. Yes! Gainful employment! Of a sort.

On the other hands, some things haven't changed. I still spend August freaking out about the school year and dog-paddling around in a wading pool of cheap white wine.

  2. My anniversary is August 11th! I pretty much forgot it too! But with being 8 hours ahead, I had a grace period.

    if you were really a good person, you would offer to be my reminder. The day you have your anniversary - is the day before MINE.

    We not just need to find an august 9th. Those bastards have had it easy for too long now.

  7. Wow. I was going to tell you that my anniversary is August 11, but some SOB already stole my thunder.

    You missed such grand celebrations too! There was a 3 year old in a full-leg cast, a 5 year old who has turned into the biggest jackass ever since starting kindergarten and the husband with strep throat.

    It was a damn blast...wish I had missed it.

  8. Hey, congrats on the anniversary. I am amazed that people can maintain the blogging biz for so long. Not that I'm going to stop! Not even if Michel smotes me.

    My anni isn't till December. I will have to think of some super fabulous way to celebrate (not like I did when I hit 100 posts, which I kinda forgot about, but again that was because Michel smoted me. Even if she denies it, she did it).
