Five years ago today this blog was born.
That was right after the 2004 election, and I'd spent many a month writing 600 word pieces and emailing them to friends and family (most of whom, I'm sure, deleted them unread). Then it dawned on me. I read a lot of blogs, I admired a lot of blogs, I enjoyed writing. Why the heck wasn't I blogging?
And so I did. There's not much more to say about the birth process, other than I give Lisa full credit for the blog's title, a combination of my last name and "opinions". Kudos on that hon.
A blink of an eye later and here we are,five years and 1468 published posts later. Five years - that's a respectable run for most marriages nowadays. Color me impressed.
Will Slapinions be around for a grand 10th celebration? I guess we'll just have to wait and see ;)
Oh, and to all those who've stopped by to say hello over the years, a sincere "Thank You". I could do it without you, but it wouldn't be half as fun.
I began blogging in 2004 also, in June, I think. I don't know what I did without it!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to Slapinions!!!
ReplyDeleteWe're old hands at this blogging thing, eh? My blog celebrated it's 6th birthday on October 26. Still can't believe all that's happened since then.
And kudos to Lisa for the title! It's very clever. :)
XOXO
Happy Blogoversary! I just realized (after reading this and doing a quick check) that I started Blogging in October of 2004. Wow! Time flies! However, I haven't had as much to say as you.... I'm blaming it on the fact you have all the kids for blog fodder ;p
