first of all this is an award from Suz
and
it's not just any old award to me either.
because
a) it's my first ever
and
2) it's all been a feeble pretence that i'm too cool to want one
and
c)it's pretty nice of Suz to give it to me.
since i 'met' suz, she has not missed making a positive comment on a blog that i have written.
which is pretty awesome i think.
one of suz's reader's likened her to Erma Bombeck today.
i agree.
that's pretty big shoes to fill Suz
but methinks you've got the feet. :-))
and 3)
i have just passed my first anniversary of blogging.
i started last january!
and i think my next blog will be 100 posts.
so i thought i'd have a little party.
please come in and pull up a pew and allow me to pour you a drink.
but
watch out for flying corks.*
i'm pleased that anybody reads 'my stuff.'
as much as i enjoy blogging, i enjoy reading other people's blogs just as much.
particularly the ones that i 'follow' and the ones that are listed on my blog roll.
a few years ago i didn't know much about blogging, or bloggers.
and i hardly thought that it might be something i would do some day.
the first blog, and for a long time, the only blog i read was 'save karyn' which was the most funny and downright honest thing i'd ever read.
still is really.
i didn't leave comments in those days tho'.
now karyn has written a couple of books and blogs here
and she was the first person that ever put me on her blog roll.
that made my day!
so if we go by the logic of 6 degrees of separation, all blogs that i now read, with the exception of family members' blogs, had their origins there on that blog.
don't know if i could trace them back there now, but that's where it started.
i enjoy every blog on my blog roll and there are some that i enjoy that i haven't even got around to adding yet.
it's an ongoing process and i am adding and changing all of the time.
anyhoo.
just wanted to say,
thanks.
and what?
you want another drink?
okay, but the last one was a double so be careful.
on the rocks?
ok.
but you know, it's midday do you really think you should be drinking THAT much?
oh why not?
it's a party after all.
i think i'll just join you anyway.
(just ask my oldest son on the stats for flying champagne cork injuries among the teenage population....)

:-)
Happy Blogiversary!!
Silly girl! Happy Bloggiversary!!
Happy Blogiversary hinny, you put me to great shame :( ... I raise my glass.
Much love, Jan xxx
Congratulations
I too am approaching 100 blogs. People like you are so far in front of me, especially re technical things but you are teaching us oldies all the time.
congratulations - that is quite the feat! i thoroughly enjoy your posts (even though i'm not much of a commentor - my apologies) and raise my glass to many more :)
p.s. you need to get together with crazymo - she took a course on martinis last year and could probably hook you up like nobody's business! lol
Well done. I think I'm around my one year mark - have to check. But i obviously talk far too much as I passed the 100 post a while back!
thanks woody, and leighann :-))
jan: get cracking. and add some stories to your blogs, i'd love to read them. :-))
ken: you flatter me, i know as much as you do about the technical side of blogging honestly. thanks for the best wishes tho'. :-)
fran: the next time i am in the same room as alcohol i'm having a martini. and crazy mo can give me her recipe. :-)
expatmum: happy blogiversary to you too then. :-))
Congrats on the award! Your letter is a C! :-)
Happy Blogiversary to you!
Love your blog, keep doing it.
After the baby's born I shall share many a virtual drinkie with you
:-)
Congratulations! and thanks for the pointer to your answer about what is meant by "Clippy Mat." I would never have guessed it, but I LOVED the comedy clips. I tried hard, and could catch the odd bit here and there, but not a great deal of the language was clear.
Our favorite TV shows are mostly British. We are devoted to the Mystery! series, and we like the comedies and dramas, too. Much better than U.S. TV. David and Katie have seen most of Foyle's War, and David has been through Inspectors Morse, Lewis & now Lynley, even some Miss Marple...next on the list is Poirot.
Did I ever write that I spent a term in England when I was in college? It was heavenly. I loved it soooo much, especially because the people (like you) were so kind and clever. Blessings to you & your blog!
Love love love reading your blog.
Keep it up! Mine has a few cobwebs I know !!
lots of love S x
Oh, thank you! That was sweet! Happy blogiversary! xx
congrats on your first anniversary, mine is in May. Also congrats on your award.
If you have time pop by my blog tomorrow, as I have a story on the weather and being British, and I am 110% sure you will have a funny story to add to it.
Gill
your blog is great and the award is well deserved
Mine's a sauvignon blanc please, or a baileys on ice. Thanks, and pass the sausage rolls
Happy Anniversary! I am not a good, regular commentor like our friend Suz (does she make everyone else look bad in everything she does b/c she's so good? good thing she's so darn likable) but I do enjoy your posts! Keep it up and here's looking to the next year of hilarity!
Happy Blogiversary! Great speech!!
*Bon Don*
Congratulations! I will drink a toast to you. :)

Congratulations to you on all counts!
