This is my 100th post! Here are 13 things I have learned from this blog.
1. I did not think many people would actually read my blog, but they do! I just starting tracking visitors a few weeks ago and almost 150 people in eight different countries have read it since.
2. Everybody loves a list.
3. Some of the people I am closest to do not read my blog. This surprised me
4. People are nice. I was expecting people to write nasty things in the comments, but nobody has.
5. Writing is therapeutic, especially for the painful stuff like losing my mom.
6. I enjoy writing.
7. I have not done much writing since college so the thought of writing was intimidating and the first entries would take me an hour or two to write. I know I am not a great writer, but I can bang out an entry pretty quickly now.
8. Formatting looks different between my two computers…I still can’t figure out why. I thought it would look the same on all computers.
9. I am reading more blogs which has opened me to up to new people and their thoughts.
10. People actually like pictures of my cats.
11. I used to get nervous about what I wrote…that it would be too personal or someone might think it was stupid or trivial. Now I just write what I’m thinking about and don’t worry about it.
12. What a meme is and how great they are to get more readers.
13. I still have a lot to learn about how to format and make my blog look less like a template.

I like pictures of your cats.
And I still like Thursday 13 the most. I'm glad it made a comeback.
p.s. I obsessively read all the blogs of people I know. there's one blog from someone I used to work with that I obsessively read, and she has no idea.
I do the same thing as Laura! I obsessively read my list of blogs every day. I have a list of them that I find interesting and when I have time to burn at work I check them all out :)
My family doesn't read my blog either. For people who complain so much about not knowing what's going on with us, you'd think they would read it more often!
Laura - when are you going to start a blog???
You know, I thought about it. But I'm one of those people that are sooo honest, I'm afraid I would just write way too personal of stuff and people I know would be reading it. I have enough trouble keeping my mouth shut as it is. So I've thought about it a little but bottom line is that I'm too chicken!
