Today's the day!

Well, it looks like I'll get my 1 millionth hit today, and I'm just stunned speechless. Shut up, it can happen.

When I started this at the behest of wirecutter (who got tired of banning me from his blog on a daily basis), I promised myself I'd give it a few months. I had no expectations of a large readership, I had no expectations of meeting so many awesome people. Ironically, I started on a Sunday; November 11, 2012. Shee-it. Sixteen months and a handful of days. Time flies when you're having a psychotic episode.

Here's a quick glance back at my first post HERE. If you'll note, one of the things I looked forward to was the chance to ban wirecutter for a change. Hasn't happened, just don't have the guts. He has, ironically, tried to ban me from my own blog. Bastard. I did have my revenge, or a tragic lapse in judgment, HERE. It is my second most popular post of all time with 2719 pageviews and 75 comments. Forgive me, wirecutter, you know I love you and have the utmost respect for you. And I'd also like to remind you that WiscoDave made me do it. 

Y'all have been by my side through some rough times in my life, giving me love and acceptance and a good kick in the pants when needed. You've become friends, family, TRIBE. I wake up looking forward to checking in with y'all, sharing news and laughs, laughter and tears, recipes and rants. Y'all really seem to like my rants. I know I promised to either post a pic of my tatas painted with shamrocks or my famous Guinness Bread Pudding recipe, and you voiced your preference for the GIRLS. I'm sorry, but Poppy reads my blog and threatened to paddle my ass if I so much as posted cleavage. So Bread Pudding it is. Take it up with Poppy. 

Here's to another year with all y'all!
