Well, would you look at that. I missed my own 1-year blogiversary. On January 2nd, 2005, this blog was born.
So let's celebrate! Better late than never... And it's never too late for a party!
Thanks to Anita at Fighting Inertia for being my inspiration to start a blog of my own. Funny, I can't imagine life without the blog now.
Thanks to everyone who's been reading this silly old blog since the start! I think there are 4 of you! (Anita, my hubby, Kristi, and my college roomie) Maybe some others too?
Thanks to everyone who's found this place and come back -- however you found it...
So I'll ask, how DID you find this place? I know some of you found me through Anita or Michele. How about the rest of you?
Are you a lurker here? Will you ever de-lurk? (ha, a trick question -- if you're lurking and you answer that... well, you know!)




Happy Blogiversary. I got here via Michele, I believe, but then I am always at Anita's as well. I don't know how I got here, but I do enjoy the art exhibitions. I am still keen on seeing the spaghetti exhibition and the all important toothpaste drawing.

Happy Blogiversary! I missed my own (I think it was in November, lol), so I can relate. :)
Geez, Marie, I can't remember how I found you. Maybe thru Michele? However it was, I'm glad I found you...and no, I don't do a good job being a lurker, lol....I'm too noisy for that!

Happy Blogiversary. If Anita is your blogmother and also mine, are you my blogsister?

(sung to the tune of Happy Anniversary)
Happy Blogiversary! Happy Blogiversary!
Happy Blogiversary! Haaaapppy Blogiversary!
If there was ever a person born to be a blogger, it's Marie. This is the person who left comments on my blog that could have been used in a stand up comedy routine and always had a unique, interesting, and very creative viewpoint on anything and everything.
As a blogmother, I couldn't be prouder. Of course, like mothers everywhere, I may be a tad biased, but I'm sure you will all agree that I'm not way off base when it comes to Practigal!

Also, I'd like to point out that Practigal is a Maurading Marsupial while I'm only an Adorable Little Rodent . . .
Of course every parent wants their child to exceed their own achievements.
Congratulations, Marie, on doing so well in only one year!

Aren't you all so kind!!?
You know it's the readers & commenters that make the blog fun...
Anita, you are too kind! Basically, I was stalking your blog, and you make it sound like it was a good thing!! ;)
I guess we ARE blogsisters, Barbara! How about that?!
I don't know what's up with that marsupial thing... I think the ecosystem is out of whack again. Really!

Happy Blogaversary, Marie. Mine is coming up soon, and I can't believe it has been a whole year.
Michele sent me.

Whoo-Hoo! Happy Blogaversary. I think you are my fairy blogmother, since you inspired me to start my own blog. Don't every stop writing. Your blog is endlessly entertaining. :)

Happy Blogaversary Marie!
I've had you blogrolled for about a month now. I think I found you through the Thursday Thirteen list. It's not often I come across someone with the same name, so that started my curiosity, but once I got here, I was hooked!
So, congrats on a year's worth of great writing and fun!
