Sunday Post 443


 

So it's March. I have a birthday later this month. I also apparently have a blog anniversary- can hardly believe it's been... ten years??!? Technically I created this blog in 2012, but I didn't really start posting until the next year. Still. I kinda forgot about that.    

So this is my reaction to the current state of things.

    My ten year blog anniversary is coming up in December of this year. I think I posted like 3 posts in 2012. I can't believe it's been that long. Where does the time go? And the world does kind of suck right now.

    The tavern music is just what I needed. I started the Ellie Story blog back in March of 2008. Although, that character isn't in many of the on going stories anymore. Some characters fade away..unfortunately, like people in our lives.

    Hope you have a good weekend. All the best to your anniversary.

    Happy early birthday and blogoversary. :) 10 years is an awesome milestone! I started my blog in 2007, but I can't say I've been blogging that whole time because I shut my blog down for about 3 years. I hope March is a great month for you. And, your gif for the "state of things" is perfect. I agree and I'm sad and worried about it. :(

    March is a great month for a birthday, isn't it? I passed 20 years reviewing last year, and I'll hit 10 years as a book blogger next year.

    We share a birthday month, Greg :) That's funny. We should virtually drink together (because my thoughts on current affairs coincide with yours).
    I hope you'll have a wonderful week ahead. Happy reading.

    " have a birthday later this month. I also apparently have a blog anniversary- can hardly believe it's been... ten years??!?"
    Does "I have a birthday" mean YOUR birthday, or a birthday in the family? Anyhow, I hope it will be a good one! And my blog will be ten in October, but unlike you, I did start posting immediately and have never stopped since...Nevertheless - we're both old, ahem, seasoned bloggers 😉. Happy blogoversary in advance!

    Also...yes to that Harley Quin gif...

    I have six blogs, and used to celebrate each of them. And now I don't, LOL. I started blogging in 2008, with my first one, but didn't post a lot in the beginning either.

    Love that first video of your reaction to the "state of things." I can relate.

    Well happy birthday and congrats on 10 years. This fall will be 10 years blogging for me but on 3 different blogs, 5 years on my own blog. Hmm drinking might help me to forget all the things I dislike going on in the world but it also makes me sleepy, so I'll stick with letting my mind and heart go away in a book.

    Happy early birthday. I hope you had a great day.

    Ten years of blogging is not that much when you thikn about it but then again, it's a rather long time.

    I try not to read the news too much. It's hard and depressing. I would rather hide inside a dark cafe and watch the world go by like in the image 'coffee in rain.' I'm sure there are some good things happening in the world and I just didn't know it.

    Have a lovely day.

    Yay, happy birthday and blogoversary in advance. I don't even pay attention to my blog anniversary mostly because I can never remember when I started it. I agree with you on the current state of things, it calls for a stiff drink and a lot of escape reading (at least for me anyway).

    My sentiments on the current state of things also. 😔

    Thank you for more dinner music! 🤗

    I bookmarked the video on ancient aliens for later. I have always been intrigued by the similarities between Peruvian and Tibetan ancient architecture, and also the repeated theme of pyramid shapes throughout ancient civilizations. 🌍🌎🌏

    I hope you are having a great week. 🌞
