give up? they're traditional gifts for third wedding anniversaries.

why do i bring this up? well, just a bit over three years ago, she brought me into the blog world. does that make her a blog-stetrician?

statistically, this is my 489th posting...which would pan out to about a post every 2.2413087 days.

although i'm not the best updater, i hope that you've enjoyed reading about some things in my life. even after three years, i still feel a little weird about recalling the events of the day, even if it's to a whopping audience of SIX (but very cool) readers. granted, my day usually consists of very little drama and is pretty droll but i find it interesting (even comforting) to know that mebbe i'm not as boring as i think ;)

in those three years, i've kept up on the things that keeps you sane, entertained, or institutionalized. i will admit that it's fascinating to get on the computer and capture a glimpse of other people's lives...no matter how routine it may be. you get the feeling that these people could easily relate to your problems and would offer you emotional support over the waves. in this blog-boat, we commiserate, celebrate, fantasize, chuckle, and secretly wish harm upon others. therapeutic, ain't it?

well, i just wanted to thank you all for making my life that much more amusing. at this time next year, i'll be expecting you all to be laden with linen, silk, or appliances.

on to #490...
