Blog Anniversaire

No, I didn't spell anniversary wrong.  That is the French word for birthday, and when you say "Happy Birthday" in French, you say "Bon Anniversaire."  That is why my "Blog Anniversaire" works.  For all y'all who don't speak French as masterfully as I do.

Anyway, this is the one year anniversary of BWBA!  Can you believe it? One year ago today, I was sitting on my parents couch in front of the tv, starting a blog on one of my (rare) days off from Unos!  Oh how far we have come since then!  My blog has exploded and now reaches TEN readers in TWO states (plus Ohio)!  With the occasional heckler from overseas, of course.  I never would have thought my blog would be such a success when I started writing that day on the couch.  Thank you readers!

Looking back on The First Year of My Blog, I realize it has been a great one.  I've gone from 40 hours a week at Unos, to 25 hours a week at Unos, to 40 hours a week at McGraw-Hill and 7 hours a week at Unos, to 40 hours a week at McGraw-Hill and no hours a week at Unos, to 40 hours a week at McGraw-Hill and 9 hours a week at Shockra Studio.  What I take away from this is: in the past year I have stopped working at Uno's!  Success!

Also in the past year, I have lived in three different abodes: my parent's casa, my first NYC apartment in cruddy Inwood all by my big-girl self, to a brand-spanking-new three bedroom apartment with two roommates in fabulous Park Slope!

And I have had some fabulous times.  There were fun concerts, and homages paid to both Captain Morgan and Jim Beam.  I traveled to Sin City, Boring City and Country Music City (and nearly starved there).  I bought tickets for my next big adventure.  I started and failed multiple projects.

My best friend got married to a pretty cool dude.

I had good moods.

And I had bad moods (and I made you hear about them all).

I survived infestations and plagues.

I started freelancing.

I fell off a bar stool.

I made new friends

I made many a cupcake

I spent wonderful holidays with ma fam.

I ranted

I raved.

I found my attitude.

And I spent wonderful times with you, dear readers!

Thank you for reading my blog where I basically just write ridiculous things.  Thank you for supporting me in my pursuit of being me!  Thank you for being awesome!

I love all of you.  All ten of you.

Stayed tuned for another year of ridiculous observations and sterling advice.
