Super Important Announcement!!!!

Today is my blogoversary!!!

No kidding. 2 years. 1200 posts. And you.

The last thing I expected out of this Bloggery experience was a community. A rich, diverse, interesting, terribly amusing community of creative people who would make me laugh and think and laugh some more. I didn't expect to find the kind of support you have offered over these 2 years, on all sorts of levels. I certainly didn't expect any of you to become "real". The fact that I have gained some really spectacular friends from this little adventure is nothing short of a miracle to me. And of course, I also scored some very delicious cheese.

Yes, Blogtopia is a wonderful place and I'm so glad I found this little Craftsman style bungalow with the wraparound porch in this little corner of the 'hood. I couldn't have found lovelier, kinder, more generous neighbors. I've made a big applesauce cake to celebrate, so come on over. And look! Music and circus people.

Love you. Mean it.

Happy happy anniversary! As one of the first people I met in the 'hood, let me simply state that you reap what you sow, hon. The kind of friend you've received is the kind of friend you've been. Just sayin'.

Happy happy day!!

It's a big cake, Sling. I don't think we have to resort to licking Hat's face quite yet.

I love it when Sling says "jocular."

And my life for one has certainly been changed for the better by your presence in Blogville.

And further, let me just -- oh, look! Ocra poppers!

Never fails. At some point during any given festivity, Sling is eating something off of my face. Sigh...

And what a swell party this is ...

It's the way of our people, Hat. And let me top off that Italian iced tea for you. You look positively parched.

Do you like the bunting, Red? Sling brought it. It's flame retardant and everything.

I'm here with the usual animal cookies....red, white and blue this time. May I please have some cake?

Happy anniversary Lorriane. You certainly make this place wonderful. You are talented, spirited, spiritual and just plain old nice. Does beer go with the cake? I'm feeling kind of beerey eyed at the moment.

Clown: I'm so glad you're back in the 'hood and can come to the party. Yay!

Rosie, beer goes very well with cake. And animal cookies. But before I get you treats I gotta give you a big hug: (((((Rosie))))

Ok, now you can eat.

I am wit-less today (too much packing in one day can do that, I guess), tho I do want to wish you a very happy blogoversary. I'm glad our blogpaths crossed!

Blogger Lorraine opined...

Mutual, I'm sure, Dana. Good luck with the packing. Here's a coupon, exempting you from feeling the need to be witty until your move has been completed. Good luck with that. Here, take some cake for Steve and the kids. You need your sustenance.

your Blog anniversary is my 34th wedding anniversary. you picked a great day to start blogging. I know I am late to the party but I brought Lemon Cello and is there any cake left? maybe a crumb or 2?

When I come to visit next month, I want to hear these words again from The Neighbor: "Come over. I have wine."

Just sayin'.

And you just continue to get better. Keep on doing what you do, sweetie. Mwah!

There you go, impressing AGAIN. Should any prospective Organization clients do that annoying interview thing, where they ask for a real life example of your skills (when really, they're hardly ever taking into account the numerous obstacles so I don't know why they think it's so revealing) - I submit this: cake, entertainment, beautiful speech, a nice twist of humility AND replies?

Has anyone approached you about sorting out that little issue on the banks of the Tigris?

August 12, 2007 8:16 AM  
Blogger Lorraine opined...

Trust, JP. You'll hear it.

Mwah, mwah, mwah back at you, doll. Remember, you were the firstest virtual-into-real friend. Can you believe it's been a year? I'm so proud of you, Alan.

BB: Well those are certainly some very kind words and I thank you very sweetly for them. (drops a little curtsey)

Since you mention it, I do have some ideas about that pesky little problem (to do with a large iron dome and some blueprints for a theme park) but as of yet no one has asked for my help. Silly, I know. Now make yourself comfy. Here's some cake. Beer or limoncello?

Merry Blogbirthday! I'm pretty sure that comes with a wish. And frosting.

I'm late to the party, as I was inebriated, er, that is to say, out of town. Oh, look, what's that pile of lemon rinds? Ice tea? Don't mind if I do. Here's to Lorraine *clink* May your keyboard always be free of crumbs.
