Now we’re all six

The birthday of the Beast

Originally uploaded by cesarastudillo

Today my blog turns six. (It’s also the one-year anniversary of me moving to WordPress. Oh, and I’m celebrating by being at work and being sick.) Hard to believe all that’s happened in that timespan! I’ve graduated from college, started and graduated from grad school, gotten the biggest shock of my life, moved to Texas, gotten divorced, moved to Atlanta, worked at… let’s see… at least five different jobs, met some great new friends, reconnected with some old friends, and most importantly, met the GDBF (and our three-year anniversary is coming up in a few weeks!).

What will be the next chapter in my life with a blog?

Blog birthday party post-mortem

As you can see, last night’s blog birthday party was a rollicking good time. Special thanks to Sara for making these awesome, blog-specific cupcakes (with really tasty icing, I might add). I can’t remember if I ate 3 or 4 of them; I lost count.

Amid the revelry last night, two podcasts were recorded. One consisted of Sherry and I kind of interviewing each other about blogging, social media, and all that good stuff. The other involved passing the recorder around to everyone at the table, and having each person talk about their blog, why they started it, blogging in general, and whatever else they wanted to say with a digital recorder in their face. Look for both of those soon on Mostly ITP.

Thanks to everyone who came out last night for the festivities! What more could a blogger ask for?

Update: It just makes sense to include a roll call of everyone who came last night, since almost everyone there was a blogger.
