Posted: 08.12.2002 You see I do what they can't do, I just do me
Red from blonde, yeah bitch I'm drastic Why this, why that, lips stop askin' Listen to me baby, relax and start passin'! And if I had to give you up It's only been a year Now I got my foot through the door And I ain't goin' nowhere It took a while to get me in And I'm gonna take my time Don't fight that good shit in your ear Now let me blow ya' mind... When I started blogging a close group of friends and I had just survived an internet wedding group split that wasn't exactly a fun time for anyone. Since then we've remained quite close and three of seven of us are now first-time mommies. When I started blogging, I was powered by Blogger and I didn't even have comments. Movable Type is now the Oz-man behind the curtain of my Wizard (after a brief stint with Greymatter), and I live for all the latest bells and whistles. When I started blogging almost all of my online time was devoted to Wholly Matrimony! and Clueless Books. Now it seems I hardly ever have time to even touch those sites. When I started blogging I didn't even know Tech TV existed. Now I have one of the hosts wearing red shirts on air just for me. And all of this doesn't even begin to cover all of the amazing friends we've both made since blogging. (Todd started a month after I did on September 14th.) Some we've met in person. Some we will meet in person soon. And still others we'd better meet in person in the near future somehow! I never dreamed I'd have so many people reading here every day. I still don't know "how" or "why". I'm only thankful that you do, because even though I never in my wildest dreams imagined I'd be able to keep up with all this -- much less for full a year -- it's become a very important part of my life. And I'm very thankful to have found that secret writer/ranter buried deep inside of me in order to share her with you all every day. ![[And I said no salt...NO SALT for the Margarita, but it had salt on it... BIG GRAINS OF SALT!]](http://www.tampatantrum.com/images/postjuly/margarita.gif) So to the important things... Beer's in the fridge to the right. Chips and salsa are over to the left. I'll be firing up the blender momentarily for blogaritas, and the cake should be wheeled out soon. Hopefully if my wish comes true when I blow out the candles, Rivers Cuomo will pop out of it! Thanks for stopping by... -Robyn
 Happy blog-b-day! ¤ ¤ credit: katie | 08.12.02 at 12:08 AM | link- -this ¤ ¤ I got so teary reading that! I'm one of the lucky people that have met you and Todd in person.

Amazing how time flies, doesn't it? I started my first blog (on xanga.com) in November, went through blogger in February on angelfire, bought my first domain in March, and working on my second... It seems like yesterday. And although I've only been reading your site for about 2 and a half months, it seems like I've been reading your blog since I you started. I can't wait to see what the second year holds for you on here. Congradulations. ¤ ¤ credit: Veshka | 08.12.02 at 12:23 AM | link--this ¤ ¤Blogaritas! Blogaritas!

My Gma's 70th birthday is the same day OU plays USF (located here in Tampa). It's a huge game b/c Lee Roy Selmon, former OU Sooner and Tampa Bay Buc, is the USF athletic director. It's a big "homecoming" game for him. So with some help from family, my aunt is flying in from DE as well, and our plane tickets have been booked. We hope to buy game tix here at the end of the month. And with a 2.5 hour layover in Houston, we also get to meet Christine and Kymberlie. So it sort of worked out. I just wish it would've worked out in Iowa! :-\ And Erika, Todd and I shared tobynopoly.com addresses before we each got our own domains -- your mind hasn't failed you! ;-) ¤ ¤ credit: robyn | 08.12.02 at 02:04 PM | link--this ¤ ¤Happy blogiversary to you Rob! Sending you big hugs and lots of love! ~S ¤ ¤ credit: Susan | 08.12.02 at 03:38 PM | link--this ¤ ¤happy blogiversary, sweetheart!

Thankyou Robyn, for sharing yourself with us, thanks for all the times you have made us smile, cry, laugh and provided us with ideas to chew on.
