Yesterday was pamibe’s 10th Blogiversary, but it was pushed to the back of my mind in the excitement of Mike’s impending return from Dallas… and completely forgotten once I’d picked him up at the airport. There he was, beside me once again, looking tired and talking about airplane thrust, making me absurdly happy in the process.
Anyway, I’ve been blogging for 10 years. Big fat hairy deal. Anyone can do it and millions do, so there’s obviously no trick to the thing. And the long ago thought of having a big blogish partay for my 10th has been mitigated by raging allergies and a lingering case of ennui.
Nothing has really changed, unless you count my newly found cynicism regarding all things political. Still a fiscal conservative, everything else independent… like I said, nothing has really changed. If the blog lasts another ten years… oh, geez… I can’t even finish that sentence.
My favorite thing about blogging remains people; although a hermit myself, the friends I’ve made through blogging are all wonderful, bright, compassionate folks who make me want to be a better person.
On the flip side of that, my least favorite thing would be the people I’ve lost track of through the years.
Every few years I post some of my old headers, so…
…and I’m thinking of making this my next banner!
Nope, some things never do change…

Okay, the Cain one is just funny! Reminds me of Carmen’s that she had for a while.
Happy Blogiversary! The world wouldn’t be the same without you! In fact, after comandering many of your comments from brilliant posts, I think I just might step back in to the ring again. There’s just so much stupidity out there to choose from, it’s hard to pick a starting point. The winning phrase this morning? A reporter asking Obama if he’s concerned about being an underdog in an election this year. His reply, “I don’t think the American people are any worse off now than they were 4 years ago.”
Seriously?! With a straight face no less!
Buh-bye Bama!

“I love my computer, all my friends live inside it”
When talking to hubby about my friends I always say “my computer friend, etc”

And QW, yous is another voice which has left the blogging world! What about it, hmmm??
I usually say ‘blog friend’, though I do have a couple of ‘facebook friends’.
