Today is a milestone!
One thousand times I have posted on this old blob!
One thousand times I have sat down and thought about what to share, or if there should be a picture added, or if I can get away with another list.
I still can’t believe it, but the stat counter tells me need to know facts like that, so it must be true.
I still really love blobbing. Still happy to have this little record of our life. A love letter, in blog format, for Honey and our children. A wonderful, unexpected way to keep in touch with family and friends. I have also enjoyed getting to know others in and through the blog world, some I have met, others I have not. I talk as if I know you personally. My kids find this odd. It seems normal to me.
Here is the part of the post you suspected was coming. I am going to ask for a favor. OK, I am trolling, as Mrs. Schmenkman calls it. Trolling for comments.
I must confess, I love the comments.
Like I have said before, pretend like you are those Who’s down in Whoville. “We are here, we are here, we are here, WE ARE HERE!!!!”
So many of you are gracious comment-ers, many of you are every day readers and world class lurkers! Please humor me, known and unknown! Leave me a comment, say hello, or introduce yourself. I would LOVE to hear from you OR meet you!! Be like those Who’s!
What do you think? A thousand more?

Well, well, well missy….1000 is quite a feat, congratulations. You know I stalk everyday and feel like something is missing when you very rarely skip a day or two. ;). Looking forward to the next 1000.

Congratulations on your 1000 blob posting, Kelly!
Bob and I were talking to the Threegoodkids dad last night and mused about how I know so much about you and other people through your blog and FB. Isn’t technology a wonder. 🙂
caprik said,
September 23, 2011 at 10:40 AM
Or isn’t technology a wonder-er, according to Mrs. Schmenkman up above!
Thank you! Now you should have a blob so I can know so much about y’all!!!

Hey, I am here, I am here! It’s weird but I feel like I know so many people through their blogs too and it seems perfectly normal. I guess we see a picture into people and can learn to almost trust each other (now that’s weird) is some ways. Certainly we don’t post every nook and cranny about our lives, but we do get to know each other probably better than we know our neighbors. Weird…and cool!
caprik said,
September 23, 2011 at 10:47 AM
WAY better than our neighbors!
You are our favorite bee keeper, inventor, building your own cabin, FAKE friend we have!
I give you a virtual hug of thanks, because I know you don’t like real ones.

Congrats on the 1,000 posts, Mama 🙂
Considering the fact that I have YOUR awful memory, I like to think of this as a diary that I’ll be able to read when I’m older and forget everything thats ever happened in my life.
So thank you for keeping records of our life!

Way to go Kel! You were always good at letter writing and emails but those didn’t usually have pictures and they weren’t as frequent. I enjoy being able to stay up to date on what is going on with you. Looking forward to the next 1000 posts!

You have really hung in there–writing just about every day (not counting days with computer problems!). I like Mousey’s comment on how it will be a story of her life. How neat to be able to look back on all of these years. Keep on posting!

I hope you have enough creativity and “isms” for a thousand more posts. I would take the bet that you do. Well, to my lovely mother and her new favorite (freaky) hobby congrats on a personal success.
Thanks for sharing.
-Love Boy

Congratulations on the 1000 postings — wish I’d known of your blob when you first started. You often make me smile, you sometimes make me cry but you ALWAYS make my day a better one. Keep on writing because you have a real gift there.
