One hundred times

I know it’s Wednesday and on Wednesdays I usually write about how awesome my dad was. Don’t worry, I’m totally going to do that later in the day — probably tonight, right before midnight. I thrive under pressure.

But right now, I just need to write a quick note to talk about how awesome you guys are. Yes YOU. Because…guess what…?

Ok, I can’t really hear you guessing through the Internets, so I’m just going to say it:

This, this post you are currently reading is the 100th entry to Everybody Loves Baby! I have overshared and told inappropriate stories about my family 100 times!

I know, I can’t believe it either.

I’m going to be honest with you. I love to write. It’s cathartic and has helped me tremendously during this very difficult time in my life, but I’ve lived with myself long enough to also know that I’m an incredibly competent quitter (i.e.: that new year’s resolution which devolved from cooking everyday to the vague and non-committal “cooking more” has further devolved to: I Haven’t Been Near the Stove in Over Two Weeks).

Yea, I suck at follow through.

But not with this blog! And it really is because of you. As much as I like to write, I would have probably quit a long time ago if I hadn’t gotten so many encouraging words about this project — at first from friends and family and, more recently, from complete strangers.

So Thank You. You are all full of awesomeness.

And to those of you who have been telling me that I should also blog in Spanish, I invite you to go here and have yourself a virtual margarita at the launch of the Spanish version of this site.

Here’s to a hundred more — now bilingual — stories of flying poop!

    I enejyod hearing your interviews from the radio show today. I hope that our church will use a prayer card or sheet with the new responses to help us all continue to pray together and to feel comfortable with the changes. Peace and good luck to you all as you make us proud of the work you do…. The recent folk choir concert st St. Nicholas church was wonderful. Great songs and good participation in the beautiful music we all love!
