Blog 3-Mile Marker
First things first–it’s my blogiversary. Three years of blogging by yours truly. This, not even counting the new-tangent blogs I’ve since taken over at Booking Through Thursday and started myself at Punctuality Rules!. Naturally, Chappy’s been a great deal of help, too.
Now, there are actually a couple big, blog-landmark kinds of things to celebrate, so I’m throwing myself a contest.
Here’s what you have to do: I’ve already mentioned that it’s my three-year blogiversary. And, as you know, Chappysmom has only just moved to its new internet home 11 days ago. What else is there?
So … two questions
1. What is the other blog-milestone that Chappy and I have just passed? It’s something I mentioned at least a couple of times before the big move.
And,
2. What do you think the precise statistic will be, as of midnight tonight?
Let’s say that you’ve got until, oh, January 31st to enter the contest–but that you must leave your answers here in the comments on this post to be eligible. (And yes, I’m well aware that that might help late-comers with question number 1, but you’re still on your own for the second.)
The other announcement–remember last month when I asked for help with a survey?Well, I had offered a prize for that, too, and today was the deadline for responses. I was touched, you know, because I had over 730 people start the survey and a whopping 584 who were willing to give me their e-mail addresses (a requirement for being eligible for the prize because, how else would I contact them?) I asked Random.org for a random number and it selected respondent #70. As luck would have it, this person responded that she is an intermediate-level knitter, which is good for both of us because, of course, the prize is yarn. (And, really, seriously, this was my first and only attempt at pulling a winner, but wouldn’t it have been dreadful if the winner had been some nice person who didn’t care to knit at all?)
Anyway, her name is Cathy. I didn’t ask for blog/internet addresses in the survey and while I’d happily share a link, I don’t, er, think she’d appreciate me posting her e-mail address for all the world to see, but I’ll be contacting her directly. If it turns out that she does have a blog, you know I’ll let you know. (And if it turns out that the e-mail address doesn’t work or she doesn’t want to give her address, I’ll select somebody else.)
Sheesh. What else?
Well, I mean other than this lovely yarn I finished plying last night.I started spinning it, you’ll remember, with Kim a week ago, and I finished the singles on Sunday while the family was here. I plied madly while watching Medium last night (a welcome break from the computer) and, ta da! Here it is.This, again, is 4 ounces of Blue-Faced Leicester from Spunky Eclectic in the “Vineyard” color. It’s a lovely yarn and just about to take a nice, relaxing, hot bath while I take my shower. (And what does it say about life in the modern age that my yarn gets warm, relaxing baths and I get quick showers? Although, I’ll tell you, I really prefer showers–the whole sitting and relaxing in a bathtub gets really old for me after about 10 minutes. My favorite activities–reading, knitting, spinning, baking, petting Chappy, doing stuff on the computer–all require dry hands, you know?)
And, did you know that I’m not the only knit-blogger moving from Typepad to WordPress this month? Guess who the other one is? I’ll give you a hint–she’s on my Bloggers-I’ve-Met page and is known for being handy with a computer…. Although I should tell you that, for this question, there is no prize for the correct answer (grin).

Happy blogiversary! I’ve enjoyed yours and Chappy’s adventures and look forward to many more. And I’m wearing my jammies inside out in the hope that a snow day will come soon for Chappy to enjoy! (I had never heard this before, but apparently it’s what all the kids are doing these days to bring on a snow day.)
Happy 3rd blogiversary! And congrats on 10K comments, too! I’m guessing that by midnight (my time, which is in 45 minutes) you’ll hit 10, 203.
Obviously time zones are messing me up here.
10,000th comment…and, hmmm, I’d guess, well, 10,304.
Oh shoot, I missed the deadline! Happy Blogiversary anyway
No, no–you can VOTE until the end of the month. The question is how many (mumblecommentsmumble) will I have as of midnight last night . . . because otherwise that number would keep changing everytime someone voted.
So–the deadline for entering the contest is JANUARY 31ST.
10,000th comment and I’ll guess 10,220
