I missed my 5 year blogiversary. Ooops!
My very first post was on October 6, 2006....but my first "real" post was on October 25th, 2006. So to save a little face, I'm going to consider tomorrow (October 25th) to be my 5 year anniversary of blogging......and I'll be back then with details of a little giveaway to celebrate. In the meantime, here are 5 things – one in honor of each year of blogging – that you might not know about me or maybe just didn't notice yet....
1. I recently cut off most of my hair (just last Wednesday, as a matter of fact). After 20+ years of dyeing it, I've decided to go au naturel and see what my hair really looks like underneath.
2. In spite of hooking for the past 12 years, I really only have four partly finished hooking projects on the go: Jumbo (of course!), Pets, Grandparents portrait project, and my very first rug (it's all hooked, but the edge has never been finished).
3. I am a little anal. Okay, maybe more than just a bit. I recently went through all of my England posts and replaced all of the photos and added some new ones. I just wasn't happy with the crummy quality of the editing App I used on the road and the newly updated pictures are bigger and oh, so much crisper. Check them out, if you care....
4. I am very behind in meeting my reading goals for the year. I'm also behind in updating my list of reads on the sidebar....but even when I do that, I will still be woefully behind.
5. I sometimes do silly, klutzy things. Such as forgetting my iPad in a bin, following my security clearance in Amsterdam airport (it was returned to me on the plane, TG).....Knocking my glass of water over in the middle of a paper-filled desk.....Tripping on imaginary rocks. You get the picture...
