I have been extremely BUSY the last few weeks and haven’t been blogging as much as I have wanted to. But when I saw my friend Melissa’s post about coming up on her 500th blog post, I thought, I think I’ve blogged a few more posts than that. (not that I’m competitive or anything)
Which, incidentally I am, but she hasn’t been blogging as long as I have – so in this case it really doesn’t matter.
Anyway, so I thought I’d share with you my 1,596th post today. I figured, even though I’m a first born, middle child, I do not have to wait for my 1600th post because I’m not into perfection. Now, if I was Monk, then maybe I would’ve waited until my 2000nd post….
But wait – first born middle child you say???? What? It’s true – I’m the first born female and middle child. I had two brothers and I was stuck in between them in the birth order. Which really is funny to think about. I always felt like a middle child, mainly because that is how I was identified by my mom. But recently, I’ve come to discover that I really am more of a first born. Which is pretty indicative of my career, drive and achievement that I’ve accomplished in life. I’ve been reading Dr. Kevin Leman’s book The New Birth Order in case you’re wondering.
Anyway…
Here’s the thing. I have been doing a lot of interviews, as well as attending some tea’s in my local community, taking on a few investigative reporting jobs, (which are a lot of work), and getting ready to do more speaking on internet safety and human trafficking. As well as blogging about Christian persecution, telling everyone I know to vote Yes on Prop 8 and of course, taking care of my husband and 4 animals.
Oh…and did I tell you that I’ll be turning 40 in a few weeks? Well, that is one exciting thing too!
The big 4 – 0 – it makes me laugh just saying that. I remember when I turned 30 and freaked out, but turning 40 seems really cool. Maybe because as I’ve gotten older, my life has gotten better.
So, if you’d like to give me a gift, for my 40th birthday, online gift certificates from Amazon would be welcomed. But don’t feel obligated.
I’ll have more later…now I have to hit my email again and get back to some investigative things I’m doing.
