** IT'S MY 300th POST **

I just noticed earlier this evening that I had 299 posts on my blog, which I began November 10, 2008. At that time, I didn't think I needed or wanted a blog, but a few writer friends encouraged me, especially Karrie McAllister! Thank you, Karrie! When I accept my Blogger Award (someday) I'll say in my acceptance speech, that I owe it all to you!!

Karrie received the Number One Thank You because she told me about blogspot in the first place, gave some suggestions, and promptly answered any questions I had.....all by e-mail. That's because Karrie lives in Ohio and she and I have never met (in person, that is!) If I remember correctly, I first contacted Karrie by e-mail when I came across her fabulous writing online somewhere.....don't know where or when that was, but what a wonderful writer/person/friend I met!!

I have more to say....as usual....but that will have to wait until tomorrow.

  2. Give a girl a post, she'll have a post. Teach a girl to blog, and she'll take off like no tomorrow! Congrats on #300, completely showing me up with your fabulous blogging ways, and generally being one of the nicest people I've never met! xoxo!

  17. Whew! I zip around on Fridays, catching up on this 'n that, and you had a lot of this 'n that this week! :-) Which explains that whole 300th post achievement-congrats!

  27. Hi Rose! Thank you! Yes, that is a lot of posts, isn't it? It's funny, too, because I hadn't paid any attention to how many I had. I never noticed when I had 100 or 200! You have a good weekend, too!

  29. Hi Becky,

    Congratulations on #300. I hope you enjoy your blogging days to come.

    Being that I never pay attention to those things, I had to go to my Dashboard and see how many posts I have posted over the last 3 years. It is amazing how they count up.

    Have a splendid week-end.

    Ann

  32. Sharing our souls. Love that quote. How I've found friendship in my life by bearing my soul.

    300 posts. Commendable. I, too, was reluctant to begin a blog. Fought if forever. It has been the most incredible experience.

I'm still getting quite a few spam comments that are Anonymous, so I'm trying "User with Google Accounts." If anyone tries to comment that I know, and it won't let you, send me an email, okay? Thanks so much.
