They Say It's Your Birthday

I've loved the creative comments I've gotten on the post you see directly below this one. I will respond, in detail, as promised honoring the person who came the closest and/or is the most creative. I can never predict with you people which posts are gonna be winners. What can I say? You're a finicky bunch.

It hit me a few days ago that this blog is officially one years old as of tomorrow. I use the word gingerly because when I started this blog, I was just coming off of student teaching and just entering the cesspoll known as subbing. I also had uprooted myself to move in with boyfriend of past tense. I was introduced to blogging to help cure the intermittent employment and new to the area blues. But after a few pathetic first attempts (Everyone's gotta start somewhere, right?) I pushed blogging to the back of the proverbial closet.

Just like that sweater that you loved when you bought it, but somehow you only wore once or twice, I rediscovered blogging, waaay in the back of my closet back in June. Suddenly, it was like I was a born again blogger. And so that's how the The AOGB some of you have come to know and love came to pass.

Happy birthday AOGB. You must have been a beautiful baby, cause baby look at you now.
