I did it! Wow! 500 posts! Boy have I come a long way with my blog...I went back to March 08 and read a few of my first posts and comments. It took me 21 days to get my first comment. I have gone from pictureless posts to posts with probably too many pics. I remember when I first learned how to add more than 5 pics to one post...LOL! The most comments I have recieved on one post is 46 (The Christmas In July Blog Hop). I hope to add a few things to my blog in honor of 500...my new 3 columns are inspiring! I want to add my Bucket List and a Monthly Fun Things List. Does anyone know how to do the text to cross things off a list?
AND from now until New Moon premieres I am going to be putting Twilighty fun on Tuesdays. (Hello! Kristina...you still there?!) Check out the big bad wolf in my right column! I love it!Thank you for reading my blog...leaving me comments...listening to my vents about my inlaws...putting up with a monthly "she doesn't realize it's PMS" post...boosting my self esteem...and last but not least for being my friends. I {heart} all my bloggy buds!
As a special thank you I am going to put together a package of handmade goodness for one lucky bloggy bud! What's inside? It's a SURPRISE! I love surprises! I'm gonna stuff it to the max! Here's how to enter...
1. Leave me a comment telling me why you read my blog.
2. Leave me a comment telling me you are a follower.
Thank You!

How fun! I love surprises. Happy 500th! I love reading your blog. I love the rants about MIL and seeing the beautiful place you live (I'm a country girl at heart), plus your girls are adorable.

I am new to the blog, I saw that you were having your 500th post! Congrats! I will have to go back and read some of the archives.
Pick me! And you always have something insightful to say!
I read you because your Scrappy and I laugh a lot with your one liners and your fab life. Congrats on your giveaway numbers.
I love your blog. I love your humor, I love your creativity, I love your scrapbook pages, I love that you are an awesome mom and wife. You are a fun person and I get inspiration and friendship when reading your blog.
I can't believe you are 500 posts! Congradulations on writing so many memories! It's fine to have those PMS days or rant days - it's who we are and sometimes it is better written out and let out to get it out of your system.
Cherie of course has the best blog help. Here is her blog about striking out words:

Congrats on the 500th post! That's amazing. I'm still working towards my 100th. How awesome for you! And I'm hoping to win, so here goes:
1. I love your blog because I just never know what I'm gonna find when I visit. Your family is just hilariously adorable, and I love reading about your adventures. Also, I just LOVE the Twilight-y stuff you put on here!
2. And yes, I am a follower of yours!

I love reading about a life completely different than mine.
I am a follower. Congrats on your 500th post!
I read your blog because it is a great example of everyday life. You are funny and add a dose of humor to my day.
Wow! You go, girl!! Way to hit 500. I bow at your bloggy accomplishment. :)
How do I read thee... let me count the ways... You are fun. You are REAL. I too love the "country" about you AND I love "going with you" on trips!!!
i just saw your follower deal. i'm gonna do it now.
i love your gymboree posts. because as a recovering addict i always love that.
the vents love them. and "she doesn't realize it's PMS" made me giggle because i LOVE how you put that. seriously i have those every month too. glad it's not just me.
and seriously i can't BELIEVE you didn't buy two tutu's the other day. i hate it when i have momentary moments of frugality and it comes back to bite me. either i drive all the way back and it isn't there anymore, OR i'm really paying more the second time. because i used gas to drive there again.
but i totally get ya on feeling frugal.
i thought the same thing, and almost returned my matching ones. but can't bring myself to do it.
OK i guess i read because we are so on the same page with the shopping. and twilight. and cute kids.
and inlaw angst.
congrats on 500!
I read your blog because you are down to earth honest to goodness REAL and I love hearing your family tales and seeing what you've captured with your camera - I love your camera! Your front porch is what captured my attention when you started organizing and cleaning.

I was born blond, but I'm only skinny b/c I work out six days a week for 2 hours a day.
500??? wow!! you go lady! and i read your post because you crack me up and we have a common love of all things twilight...sigh....but mainly because i like you!! :)
