Apparently it’s the Paper Anniversary

Today marks the 1-year anniversary of this here blog o’ mine. I started this blog to document the days leading up to my 30th birthday, hence the name Almost 30. Apparently I didn’t plan very well because that was just a 2-month period. I guess I didn’t think that far in advance.

I posted about stupid things like the Apprentice, which I don’t watch anymore, my friends getting married & my favorite Starbucks drink. Along the way I have “met” some of the coolest bloggers around. I have learned that Minneapolis is the blogging capitol of the world, at least from my perspective, that the craziest people go to my gym and that I have a secret twin in Kansas City.

But most of all, I look forward to reading other people’s blogs and their comments on my blog. So, here’s a re-cap of the people I enjoy (in no particular order because I love you all equally).

Josh: You came along later on in the game and sometimes the things you post scare the shit out of me. But, like a bad car crash on the highway, I can’t help but look. In fact I look forward to being scared/grossed out.

Katie: We’re twins!!! When I read on your “100 things” list that you don’t like milk, that you spent time in Eastern Europe and that people think you look like Christina Ricci, I knew that my parents secretly had an American baby a few years after me and just didn’t tell me. And today I find out that you have bodacious tata’s just like me. You may be 2 inches taller, but I’ll forgive you for that. Please come over and decorate my house.

Christine: You crack my ass up. You have this sarcastic humor that I can totally relate to. You are a New York City girl, of which I am totally envious. You go to hoity-toidy events such as classical music picnics in the park and you have a very smart person’s job, which I envy. Plus you eat lots of exotic foods that I am afraid to try.

BigDubb: You were one of the first to read my blog. And through you I met everybody else. You are the godfather, what can I say. Plus you are a great writer, I enjoy your posts because they vary in style and topic, and they are sometimes very emotional. I like that you’re so open.

Stacy: Oh Stacy. I’ve learned so much from you. You’ve taught me that it’s a wonderful thing to have a baby, you’ve taught me how to eat well without sacrificing flavor, but most of all you’ve taught me that saying the wrong thing to a person at the gym while on the treadmill is really freakin funny. And you comforted me when I was going off on the anonymous asshole on your blog. You’re a mom to us all.

Lynne: Your wit and sarcasm crack me up. You have a great perspective on things and you get up at the butt crack of dawn to go jogging. You are my hero.

Kiddo: Every girl needs a gay boy in her life. And although I have one locally, I like to think that the love is being spread across the country. I love your stories about boys and I look forward to seeing you in the Kennedy outfit for Halloween. I loved me some John Jr.

Dan: Yours was the first blog I ever read. I found you like most people did, Yahoo featured you one day for your high school photos post. Now you’re a blogging celebrity.

I totally forgot that we have both been told we look like Christina Ricci. Totally twins.

I am going to start refering to my boobs as bodacious, instead of annoying hunks of fat that just get in the way.

Happy Birthday blog!
