That’s right, I am reaching a milestone today. One thousand. Seems like a lot; at the same time as seeming like not that many entries, considering I wrote on this blog for the very first time in August of 2006. I guess that was two and a half years ago. Geez, has it really been that long?
I began to keep a journal from a very early age (early enough that one of my first entries included the raging desire to receive a first generation Nintendo). This morphed into more personal writing in books (many many books that I keep under lock and key, as to avoid embarrassment) until the internet became a bigger, more popular medium. In 2001, I opened an account with the former Diary-X. Due to the Great Server Crash of 2006, I lost all my entries and immediately switched to WordPress, never looking back. I had an open mind and hope that I could someday rise up in the legion of bloggers and make something of it.
Well, I didn’t become a Dooce or even a NotMartha or All&Sundry. But I get a steady amount of hits. Someone out there likes me, you really like me. I once had a desire to quit altogether but I realized that I can’t. I ‘m too addicted to it, to the fact that I know once I get to work, I will have that brief time to spend with my blog. And checking my blogroll. It’s too integral to my days now.
In honor of my 1000th post, I am doing a give-away. I can’t offer you much but it will include: $10.00 Starbucks gift card, homemade chocolate chip cookies (mine are the best, or so Ash claims) and I’ll throw in a couple cool magnets I have. I seem to collect them then run out of space on my fridge. All you have to do is leave me a comment. I will draw the winner on Monday, February 9th. Package will be sent soon as I can, probably Thursday of next week.
Happy commenting!

I just want you to know, Claire, that I don’t just comment when I have a chance to win something. Usually, I think I don’t have anything to say.
With that being said, I hope I win.
Wait, how do I win. I want cookies!
I aspire to be as good of a blogger as you are. Gimme cookies!
Who doesn’t want an 8 bit Nintendo? Did you ever get it?
Congratulations on 1000 posts! That’s really exciting! It’d be interesting if you could do a season synopses like tv shows do.
Mmmm coookies!
You need a Wii. I downloaded Galaga the other night and my husband and I had a Galaga war. Plus if you get a Wii then we can play each other in fun games like Mario Cart. Technology these days is awesome.
mmmmmmm….cookies…mmmmmmmmm
Congrats on 1000 posts. That IS alot. I started mine in October of 2006 and don’t have even close to 1000! I just checked – 216 total. You have been busy. I am glad you blog b/c otherwise I don’t think our paths would have ever re-crossed and I am happy they did!
I’m commenting! And I don’t even drink coffee! (Much. Okay, sort of. BUT STILL.)
Congrats on 1000! It’s an addicting little pastime, isn’t it?
I love how you get the most comments when you’re giving something away. 🙂
Whoa, 1,000 posts? Shouldn’t you be the one rewarded with coffee and cookies? Congrats on the longevity and here’s to many more!
