Where Did The Time Go?

My blog is TWO.   Really!  I had to go look it up.  I have been doing this for TWO years, not one.  My spelling and grammar should be way better that this! 

Now that I realize that I missed my blog's anniversary last year, I feel guilty.  If I had just been a teensy-bit late, maybe I could have sent flowers and pretend that I messed up the date.  To miss an anniversary by an entire year?  I am not really sure how that works.  If you're married and your spouse forgets an anniversary, you certainly don't sit there and stew over it for a year.  Right?

I have always been a bit of a commitment-phobe.  Weird, huh?

Maybe it was all the moving around. Or maybe it is just my personality.  I used to get extremely restless after the first month or so of any relationship, personal or professional.  Whenever I thought about staying with the same person, or living in the same place, my palms would get all sweaty and I'd hyperventilate.  This would even happen if I had the same lab partner for longer than a class period.

You know all those girls in elementary school who play-pretended to be married?  My play marriages tended to be very short affairs; then I would get bored, and whatever the rest of the boys were doing looked suddenly fascinating.   I knew that I wanted to get married; I just didn't want to do it right that minute. 

And then, before I knew it, I had been seeing the same OB-GYN for almost twenty years.  And the same 'hair-therapist' for twelve years(Don't Judge!).

I woke up one day and realized that maybe commitment wasn't so bad.  There's something to be said for having a long-term relationship with someone, I told myself.
I even went back to the dentist I had had as a teenager.  And I actually got married!  If I hyperventilate now, it's usually because I've been running after a little boy without my inhaler.  

So when I started this blog, I did not expect to be still at it two years later.  I didn't even expect to be writing every day! I also didn't expect to meet so many friendly, funny, and extremely helpful people out there in Blog-Land.  You guys have kept me going, even when I was tired and brain-dead.  I have had a great time writing just for the sake of writing! 

So Happy Anniversary Blog!  This is more proof I can commit.  Or proof that I should be committed.
