Blogiversary, Update and Announcement

BLOGIVERSARY

A year ago today I published my first post. I can’t believe I’ve been doing this for 365 days. Tara Marie and Amanda inspired me to start it and my purpose was mainly to keep family and friends who are scattered across the country updated on our happenings here in Pennsylvania. It’s turned into so much more, though.

So happy blogiversary to me!! Where’s my cake??

UPDATE

My new additions have yet to make their debut. Friday I’ll be able to take the tape and dressings off and get some idea of what I may eventually look like. And Susan, they are supposedly permanently semi-erect. I guess I’ll always be sort of cold but not really cold for the rest of my life.

I believe I’ve taken yet another step in permanently scarring my children. Monday night we were gathering around the table for dinner and everyone was talking about their day when I said, “Mom got new nipples today. Taylor, would you please pray?”

ANNOUNCEMENT

Last, and maybe least, but probably not to most of you, though others of you will be indifferent, is this big news.

It is with great hesitation and not just a little trepidation I announce that Todd has started his own blog today. Jenni & Me, based on the book Marley and Me – you know, about a dog. Hmm…

So if you have a chance, go over and say hello, but don’t believe everything you read. M’kay??

    I can not wait to check out his blog!How awesome! I know that you and I would actually be friends in real life because I could totally picture myself saying that. Maybe our kids can carpool to therapy some day?

    Maybe our kids can carpool to therapy some day?LOL!!!

    Happy blogiversary! And I’m loving the comment about the nipples. Hey, isn’t that why we had kids? To scar them for life later on? LOLOL!

  15. CindyS on August 23, 2007 at 2:32 am

    Uh, oh. This has set a precedent!!! My hubby threatens about getting his own blog but I’ve never taken him seriously cause like, I’m always right!!Happy One Year Blogiversary! And your family sounds like a blast ;)CindyS (slinking quietly over to Todd’s)

  16. Prunella Jones on August 23, 2007 at 10:15 am

    Happy Blogiversary and may you have many, many more!Permanant semi-erect nipples? How saucy is that? Pretty damn saucy!

  17. Jenster on August 23, 2007 at 12:59 pm

    Lori – I don’t know if I even thought about that when I had them, but it sure is an added bonus and my biggest goal in life. That and having someone to unload the dishwasher!Cindy – I’m sorry for the precident Todd has set. Truly. I can’t express just how sorry.And yeah, my family is pretty fun. A lot of laughs. Unless the kids are fighting or whatever. Then they’re not.Pru – That’s me. Saucy! (I really like that word and think I may have to start using it on a regular basis until I no longer find the joy in it.)

    Happy anniversary!! Headed to Todd’s blog now.

  19. Gretchen on August 23, 2007 at 3:10 pm

    Happy Blogiversary! What kind of cake should I eat in your honor? NO, no…we’ll just think about cake and have nonfat lattes. :PI love that you scar your offspring. We don’t get paid for raising them–might as well jerk a chain or two. 🙂 And you’ll have to let us know in a not-too-much-information-fashion, how the unveiling goes. Many praises to God re: your dad’s test results! Wahoo!Last but not least: I luuurrrve Marley and Me! I’ll have to go say hi. xxxooogretchen

    A belated happy anniversary to you. I just ate a piece of virtual cake, and will be sending one to you via VirtualExpress.I will go say hello to Todd.

  21. Lynilu on August 24, 2007 at 12:27 pm

    Well, happy anniversary! Have you been surprised with what the blog has become? Keep it going!

  22. Jen on August 26, 2007 at 5:05 pm

    I actually saw on television how one would drive somewhere and acquire nipples. Very interesting process – to the say the least. Like accessories for your new “Girls”! LOL
