i'm 3... and a day!

Once again, I'm at least a day late kissing my own ass... What am I going on about, you ask?! Ham & Cheese on Wry turned 3 yesterday! This marks the third straight year where I forgot to acknowledge my special day. It's become a tradition, really.

Back on April 24, 2004, I launched this here thingy completely unaware of where it would take me. The Lovely Jess encouraged me to start a blog and I distinctly remember saying, "What the hell would I ever write about?!"

Clearly, I overcame that bit of incredulity and managed to figure out enough things to say to fill up a few years worth of archives. Some of it's good, some of it not so good. There's a lot in there that I'm proud of, if I may be so bold. With some of the lesser stuff, I used to go through and delete things that I didn't feel aged well but I've since stopped doing that. It's a record of where I was at the time. It's another tick on the measuring stick of my life and helps me compare and contrast my progress. So it stays and it reminds me to do better.

Speaking of blog birthdays, Dorothy Surrenders celebrated her first year on the same day as me. Great minds... uh, set up Blogger templates on the same day (albeit two years apart). Dorothy's blog is excellent stuff and if you're not reading it, I suggest you hightail it over there and start now.

And while I'm at, go wish my blog mama, The Lovely Jess, a happy anniversary as well. Her blog, Blind Cavefish, turned four earlier this month. So go over and say happy anniversary right now. Go on. Do it.

Wow, I've become a real bossy boots in my third year. I kinda like it.

Thanks again for reading!

Love and crap,
Curly
