Now it is YOUR turn to help celebrate this great (?) feat! I want to know who it is out there reading this blog. Please leave a comment telling me who you are and how you found your way here. (If you don’t have a Google account, etc. just hit Anonymous and be sure to include your name in your comments!!)

Seems like giveaways are a big deal in the blog world, and what better way to “convince” you to sign in. So, in honor of 200 posts I am going to give away a pack of handmade, monogrammed stationary. I have no picture because it hasn’t been made yet and I have no winner’s monogram yet! Just trust me, it will be adorable.

So, leave a comment April 14 – April 20 (noon) and I will pick randomly from the list for a winner.

So, as they say in JV Cheerleading, “Roll Call! Sha-boom! Check, Check, Sha -boom!”

Hear the trumpets and fanfare? Yes, I started blogging June 20, 2007 and have hit my 200th post just now. There are many things one could do to commemorate such a milestone: (1)question one’s time management, (2) make a list of 200 interesting things I have yet to blog about (3) give away $200 – not happening

I think that I will give you a couple lists of eight. Why eight? Well, I am writing my 200th post on April 13, 2008 – – that’s 04-13-08. If you add these numbers together you get 25. IF you divide 200 by 25, you get eight. Eight is very manageable. Eight is enough!! So, here we go:
