Phew. How many snowflake cookies do you have to bake and frost before you're considered a professional? I think I must have reached that point -- and I did get paid for it, after all.
I meant to say on Tuesday that it was my fifth blogging anniversary. I started on a free site and quickly moved to my own domain. I changed to twelve22.org in February 2004, just for something new. Of course, I don't have all my old archives up (I don't even have all the twelve22 archives up since I got dumped by my old host), so you'll just have to believe me that I've been doing this for five years. Back then, it seemed like nobody had a blog, and if you did, you did it all by hand. Now everybody has a blog (even my mom!), and everything is automatic. Technology is weird.
So, when I started blogging, did I think that I'd still be doing it in five years, having moved to London? And that I'd have a job where I'd be in charge of not only making books but baking cookies? It's hard to remember, but I don't think so.
I remember! robotlove.8m.com! You've kept me entertained and delighted for five WHOLE years! HAPPY BLOG ANNIVERSARY!

Your mom has a blog! I roll in the wonderfulness of that.
Happy Blog-versary, Anna! :)
(Also, congratulations on becoming a professional snowflake-cookie baker/froster. They're beautiful!)

Woohoo for five years! and thanks for getting me involved in this whole mess. I always end up trying everything you do, only you do it better. You move to london with a boyfriend, I move to Cleveland with a cat. You get paid to make cookies, I could tell a great story about the cookie soup I made when I mistook powdered sugar for flour (big OOPS there). You get a job you love, I get paid to make students cry... well, maybe we're equal there. So here's to guessing where we'll end up in five more!
