After reading Joanna’s post today, I realized I forgot my blog’s 3rd birthday yesterday! I started my blog on April 24th, 2004 with this post: the beginning… well here goes nothing! i have so many random thoughts… i thought it would be fun to try out this “blogging†thing. maybe i’ll even get people to read it, that would be cool. i know at least beth z will read it :-) My address at the time was twentysixcats.blogspot.com, which I…
