And you’re all invited!
Awhile back?I was looking something up on my first blog, and out of curiosity decided to go back to my very first blog post. Lo and behold, it turns out that July 3rd will mark the fifth anniversary of my blogosphere debut! I think that calls for a celebration.
Now, I’m no Dave2, but I think I can make a passable attempt at commemorating the event. So I’ve been working on some ideas for ways to make that week (June 29-July 5) fun for both my readers and myself. If all goes well in the preparatory department, I’ll have a special post every day that week, each celebrating some way that blogging has enriched my life. I’ll be spotlighting bloggers and events that have been special to me, and words that have helped me grow as a writer. And each day will feature a flashback from my blogistory.
I’m also hoping to offer a contest or two, complete with prizes! AND there will be an announcement that will make some of you very happy indeed.
I hope you will all plan on stopping by each day to help me celebrate!

Okay woman. I believe you’ve just stolen all my thunder. My blogoversary is on JULY 4TH, and I just drafted a post yesterday with the EXACT SAME TITLE as this post! GAH! Not to mention, I don’t have your cool “5″ graphic, I have NO contests, NO prizes, NO week-long retrospective, AND, I’m only 1 and you’re 5, which I believe means you can beat the snot out of me. BULLY!
Perhaps you’ll take pity on me and coax all the cool people to drag their drunken asses with all their prizes over to my place for the QUITE LAME afterparty. I’ll have some cake. Maybe.

John: I actually found my cool graphic via a Google Images search for “number 5″ that only took a few minutes. Try that (only with 1). Also, I haven’t even thought up my contests yet, so you’ve got time to come up with something!
And woo hoo, congratulations! I will totally pimp your blogiversary during mine.
