My 100 Things
So, this is my One Hundredth post. (Originally posted 11/26/07, now updated)
I first started blogging way back in the summer of ‘07. I remember looking at other blogs that had a list of 100 things for their 100th post. I thought that those women were such experienced, wise bloggers. I wondered if I’d ever be able to achieve such status.
And now, dear friends, I stand before you now, having accomplished this lofty milestone. In honor of the long-standing tradition, I humbly submit my list of 100 things about me.
Sort of.
Sure, I could wax elephants and overwhelm you with verbiage. But if your attention span is anything like mine, you will only read the first dozen or so, skim to the middle and then read the end of the list. So, that’s all I’m going to give you.
