One year ago today I started my blog. At that time, I thought that an online journal would be easier than keeping up with my paper one, and had no idea that so many people would be interested in my little life.
I feel like something special is warranted to mark the occasion, and I’ve started drinking in hopes of helping the inspiration move along. It’s not yet working.
I thought about making a list of all that’s changed in my life over the past year, but I really can’t. It’s not like anything is drastically different, but I’m different, thanks to a lot of hard work, money spent on therapy, and a year’s worth of life experiences.
Thank you to each of you who have left me comments over the past year; the thoughts you’ve shared have been invaluable in helping me gain perspective. I’d like to give special thanks to NYC Watchdog, my first blogging buddy (and it’s his birthday today too!), Izzy, Some Girl and Mr. Fabulous, for all of your virtual assistance over the year.
And now, here’s a photo, of Monique, the way I was before blogging corrupted me … LOL

Yes, the “Little House on the Prairie” look was quite a popular look in ‘76 or ‘77. I was in Tar-jay the other day and saw that a similar look is now in “style.” Ugh. Throw that shit back to the 70s where it belongs!
