Today is my birthday: I am 46 years old. It has not been a very good birthday, but the optimistic take on that situation is that the year is likely to improve from here.
In recent years I have often groused about the state of the internet, and how much I miss the blogosphere of ten years ago. The blogosphere has moved on since 2006 but I have stayed put, writing my picture-free thousand-word posts. Do you know, though, I love blogging and I love having blogged, and so I'm going to do more of it this year, DERNIT.
So I am going to chronicle this my 47th year. I'm planning to write 6 posts a week until I turn 47, at which point we might all be ready for a break. Let's see how it goes.
Yay! Happy birthday, and many happy returns of the day. And you're giving us the present of your presence :) Yay yay.

Happy Birthday. I'm sorry it's been rough. It's generous of you to give us such a nice gift for your birthday. I just turned 46 myself two weeks ago, so now I can celebrate 46, too. (I'm not even going to pretend I still have it in me to blog. Even though I miss those years a lot a LOT.)

oooh, a year of Jamie! Happy birthday to you. I will enjoy reading. I keep trying not to quit blogging, but it's getting harder.

Well, I can't even pretend that I blog anymore, since this device doesn't fill in my URL, and I no longer have it memorized. But I look forward to reading yours!!

Dear friend, Happy Birthday!! Did you blog on or about your b-day before? Because you are only one year and 12 days older than me (my b-day is on 7/7) and I would probably vaguely remember something like that.
YAY, 6 posts a week from you sound AMAZING!! I should make some kind of resolution like that too, but I'm afraid to do that.
Looking forward to your posts, and I already have several to read since I'm catching up during a CRAZY BUSY vacation in Brazil.
