five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes

How do you measure a year?  I measure in blog posts ... 45 to be exact!  I started this blog a year ago tomorrow with the intention of using it as a summer diary.  Over 7000 hits later (from more than 25 countries!), this blog has turned into my own version of Sex and the City, where I can speculate about my relationships with others and myself, and whatever else crosses my fickle mind.  It has been so rewarding--and frankly, downright cathartic-- to practice writing, find my voice, and work on my MS Paint skills. 

So, Happy Birthday Blog!  And thank you friends and random readers for joining me on this wild ride of hand holding, crushes, Vegas, pants-peeing, break-ups, and general over-sharing.  You can look forward to another year of excessive parentheses, doodles, and attempted humor while musing about my crazy (and yet, non-existent) love life and other topics of interest.

And just like last year, I'm fleeing Ann Arbor and the temptations presented by ex-boyfriends and DEMF, and heading back to the Windy City to celebrate Memorial Day.  Catch ya on the flip side!
