happy blog-o-versary!

Today the dayton time is one year old. Now we can mostly walk, smear food all over ourselves, and drink from both a straw and a sippy cup. Unfortunately, we won't be 100% for pooping in the truly appropriate place for a long, long time yet. Alas.

Here's a little update on this year.

1. Miss O has stopped asking me to do this.
2. My love affair was fully supported and funded by my in-laws. I did conquer the learning curve, by the way. But then this happened.
3. In January, I wrote my Very First Offensive Post, and received Hate Mail. Also, we Went To The Mattresses with the children.
4. I went on a date.
5. I began to dread Kindergarten.
6. My very first Dayton Time Hater got the comments all fired up. Bastard. Also, I admit to being a kleptomaniac.
7. I began the Cinco de Mayo Chronicles.
8. I had my first guest blogger, a lovely girl named Miss O, who REALLYREALLYREALLY wants to be a flower girl. Really bad.
9. I talked loudly about toilets in church.
10. We found out about this happy result of a pleasant event. Also? I reached my limit.
11. I wrote the best product review in the history of product reviews. I also wrote a letter for a friend who is applying to grad school.
12. Everybody came out of the woodwork to comment on this post. Also? More hate mail. I wasn't even TRYING to be controversial.
13. And finally, we have unpleasant neighbors, and I saw the weirdest thing ever in the Target parking lot.

I like this whole blogging thing. And I'm glad you're here. I hope you stick around.
