Happy blogiversary to me

Slap a party hat on my head, it's ma blogiversary!

It's true. A year ago today, I had the crazy idea to start this blog and start adding drivel to the Internet. If that's not a call for celebration, I don't know what is.

You might remember my quest last summer to visit one South Florida water park every week. Result? My son ended up hating water parks. (Well, except for one.)

You might remember how an electrocuted iguana ruined my lunch.

My advice about wearing sequined thongs.

My dream of buying a boat.

How I planned to stalk Dara Torres.

You helped me raise money when I declared, "Will walk for boobs."

You rejoiced with me when I announced we're having another baby.

Yes, you struggled through it all with me.

So, if you've been reading Tropic of Mom for any length of time, I figure you deserve something more worthwhile to read. Leave a comment here, and on Friday, I'll randomly pick a winner to receive a $25 Barnes & Noble gift card. That will expose you (well, one of you) to some better quality writing.

Goodness knows you need it.

Thanks for reading!

Update: We have a winner!



Krystyn at Really Are You Serious was the 4th commenter, so she wins the gift card. Congratulations!

Happy Blogiversary to you. I just sung that, in case you weren't aware. So how'd that Dara Torres thing work out for you? No restraining orders I hope. ;) I love book money, count me in!

I know I'm late commenting here, I'm terribly behind on my blog reading and am trying to catch up. I just wanted to stop by and say congrats and happy anniversary!
