One Year of this blog.



I started this blog just to get some of my thoughts out there, find my voice and do something useful with my insomnia.


It's been a whole year already, and 579 posts later I think I still might have some things to write about.


I've relaxed a little but I'm still keeping up with reading about 80 to 100 blogs.


My memory isn't what it used to be and sometimes when I have readers and commenters with the same name, I get really confused, so if you would like me to link to you or if I haven't visited in a while , just give me a bitch slap in the comments.


I was also nominated by Annie and Goldbloom for the Shmooze award. I appreciate it very much!


I'll have to see who hasn't got one and nomiate in a future post.




Oddly enough it's regarding the same subject I posted about today....completely unintentional.

I have to go till November to be one year. But happy one year blogging. I notice it does help to do this. Its a online journal with friends that can comment on it and tell you how it is. LOL.. Happy many more years of blogging.

Happy 1st year of blogging to you. Your a great writer and I like reading your blog. I feel very lucky to have met you this spring and hope to get to know you even better. Keep up the good work and by the way...you failed the test. Have a good one.

Awesome accomplishment Hammer!

I still read 84, but have cut back reading those that post multiple times daily on "post for money"...I just can't keep up and besides they aren't as interesting as they used to be.

I need to weed them out more!

And you haven't changed a bit. Of course, I mean that in a good way. So...how's the insomnia, I mean, did it work?

Happy One Year of Blogging...mine's coming up too. It sure flies by, doesn't it?

Funny how you built up this community from nothing...it sure feels like an accomplishment, I'm sure.

You should be proud~

By the way, speaking of "community", I want to still be part of your cool club (grin)

Can you please change my old "Once Upon A Time" URL with this new one?

Somehow, that got missed when I switched.

(that should teach me to not make any changes from now on when you are on vacation, hehe)

Rules to blog by:

1. First, update Hammer.
2. If Hammer considers the change acceptable, update blog.

By the way, an old friend asked me to deliver a message: http://tinyurl.com/257u95

Here's to many more years of happy blogging, sir!!! I hope that the Schmooze Award is only the first of mamy!!!

Besides, we know that blogging is what helps to keep you the calm, rational, level-headed, good-natured, good husband/father that you are. That and $5 will get you a coffee at Starbucks.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Congrats on one glorious, spectacular, fantastic, wondrous year. I'm all out of adjectives, for now.

Congrats on your one year anniversary. I am approaching my second blogger anniversary in August. unfortunately I had a stalker ex-boy-friend who found my blog and I panicked and erased everything before I realized I could just change the address and set it to private.

Okay, so I'm a dork. What's new. I was a scared dork. My blog appears now to be much younger althought it is not.

Amazing how we go thru lulls where there is nothing to really write about but we keep on trucking.

Peaks and valleys my friend. May your blog continue to find many high peaks.

Happy blogoversary to one of my favorite bloggers! I enjoy your perspective on the world.
You certainly are prolific, or else I'm a total slacker. I've only got 267 posts after 2 1/2 years of blogging.

Jeez I have enough trouble with keeping up with all the blogs I read - you must suffer terrible with insomnia! My word my blog is coming up to nearly 2 years and have only about 220 posts, the pressures on lol!

Plus, I just read your very first post. Our youngest is a waiter this summer. And good! Raking in tips. You were spot on with your critique.

Hahahaha, you had more people comment on your FIRST blog than I have now!!
It was GREAT by the way - your first blog!! We don't tip here - well hardly ever and if we do it's usually $1 - unless you live in a big city and have money, it's certainly NOT required nor expected)

Happy year 1 - glad to have made your blogging acquaintance =)
