On Saturday my blog turned five years old-which you can’t really tell because I took down all of the archives when I relaunched seven (almost eight) months ago.  It’s hard to believe that it was that long ago that I sat down full of pretention and “damn it I am going to make a website that will Say Something Important” and five years later I still regularly sit down to…well, okay I hope that most of the pretention is gone and my whole “I will Say Something That Matters” has become more of a “I hope someone thinks this is funny” but…still. Five years!  I was trying to come up with a big ol’ “wow, what a five years it has been” post but everything I could think of expounding on sounded contrite.  So instead I will leave you with this list:

In the last five years I have:

Had five jobs (though two of those jobs were with the same company just in different locations)

Moved three times

Visited ten different states (in about as many days)

Been invited to six weddings

Attended four of them

Had one serious boyfriend

Who turned into one fiance

Watched approximately 1,3o9,846,509,389,569,088 hours of television

Read many many books

Voted in two Presidential Elections

Written well over a thousand blog posts

What a five years it has been!
