Two years ago today I started this little blawg-o-mine. I decided to call it BooMama because clearly basing the name of a blog on a regional grammatical quirk offers any potential readers the assurance that “QUALITY WRITING HAPPENS HERE.”
And then I picked out a kiwi green Blogger template because kiwi green seemed like a terribly sophisticated color.
After all, this blog is the epitome of sophistication.
Not to mention klass.
And then I wrote my first post about D tiling our bathroom, and I used the ellipsis A LOT.
(Yes…yes I did…I used it a lot…because apparently I enjoyed the ellipsis…even when pauses…were really unnecessary.)
Also: I had about eight page views that first day, and they were all from my computer.
I believe that’s what one might call “humble beginnings.â€
And now? Now there are all of you. And what in the world would I do without the internets?
So let me just say: Thank you for being here. Thank you for reading and commenting and emailing. Thank you for laughing. Thank you for encouraging. Thank you for being the sweetest friends that I’ve never actually, you know, seen.
Because without y’all, this blog is just a never-ending monologue.
Thanks for turning it into a conversation.
Y’all make this so much stinkin’ fun.
And I am more grateful than you will ever know.
Congrats, Boo Mama, and thank you for doing what you do. Making people laugh is a wonderful gift–and you do it so well. Finding ways to laugh at the tough stuff and everyday stuff is a heavenly thing. I feel better about myself as a woman and especially a mom after reading your own thoughts about many of the very same things I face every day. Blessings to you–and looking forward to lots more Boo Mama postings!
