Happy Birthday Baby Blog!

The Past Perfect Style Blog turned 1 year old recently. Sadly, I was too busy to acknowledge it on its actual birthday. 114 posts in 365 days. With a little more "me" time, I could have written a couple times a day for each of the 365 days of the past year.

There were also at least that many times when I thought, "What's the point of this? No one is reading this." My little weekly site-meter report tells me that, on average, 9-11 people view my blog a week. (Not including me :-)) Now .... to be honest, I never listed this blog publicly in a directory. So, if you were to (care to) search my name, you wouldn't find my little corner of the cyber-world. I'm just not sure I want the world to know about my iced tea and York peppermint pattie fixation, yet. I'm okay with just you 9-11 VIPs in my life checking in here, once in a while. Still, it's just kind of funny to think of a marketing/pr "pro" with just 9 followers. (And, I'm not counting anyone who may be checking this baby TWICE a week!)

But like I said, it's my little corner of the world. I can chat with no one in particular about the things that I like ... reflect on the activities that bring me joy or are worth committing to memory (I need everything in writing these days!) ... and I can share my puzzlement, gratitude and amazement with all that The Boss has done for me. And He has done so much.

I'll be hitting an almost-monumental birthday this year, myself. And I'm thinking of following suit with the unbirthday celebration of the PPS blog. Quiet. Comfortable. Just a few close friends/VIPS. I'm thinking sometime in November. (Date TBA.) I'm planning my own mini-bash. My little corner of the world ... in the real world. And I really want you to join me. There will be iced tea and York peppermint patties for all ... courtesy of the PPS girl.
