Today's my blogiversary..."Blob" (as my mother refers to this blog) is five years old. I was living a very different life back on March 11, 2004. When I started this blog, I wanted to have a single theme: Books and reading. Over the years, I think I've stuck to that pretty well, but it's amusing how much of my "real life" has crept into these posts.
It's so strange that this extreme love of reading has brought me so many friends, both real and real-virtual. I'm thankful, and I'll never cease to be amazed at the warm community I've found among booklovers around the world.
Happy birthday, Blob. Back when you were born, I was broke, unemployed and frustrated with nearly every aspect of my existence. I've always felt that you helped to save me. I was pleased that we were able to continue together when I took my show on the road and lit out for Asia in those last weeks of 2004.
Pass your plates for a slice of cake.
Wow! 5, that's dedication. Happy Birthday Blob!

Happy Blob Birthday! I may begin referring to my blogs as "blobs" -- that is how I frequently feel about them! Remember that old B movie?

ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday dear Blob and Sue, happy birthday to you! lol 5 years...gosh, I was having my last baby then! eek. That's what people at my workplace said anyway! I know I feel much happier and richer because I know you - richer because I have this amazing friend who lives in Korea, so it sounds good - I feel so cosmopolitan! and you know now that Canada isn't a literary wasteland! (well some of us still think it's kind of empty, but....) from one Susan to another, I'm raising my glass to you and saying thanks for all you do and your fabulous sense of humour (uh oh, is that your T&CIB staring at me?), and may I have a slice of yummy cake please?
