200

[this is Andrea's cherry ride. i don't know Andrea. but this photo comes up when you photo search cherry ride.]

This is my 200th Blogger post. It's been a good ride so far. I've been blogging for a little over three years (first on my own site [now quite defunct], then MSN Spaces and now Blogger. I'm a bit of a blog slut). It's been hard for friends to keep track of me, but I thank everyone for sticking around as otherwise I'm sure I would have stopped a long time ago.

And thanks to all the new folks who've hitched a ride and/or are stopping by for the first time. Hello.

In this short amount of time, I've been back to Australia to visit my boy Richard, moved back to Chicago, found a job, told off a rude girl in line at Starbucks, rediscovered my long-supressed love for Dunkin' Donuts, drank a 40-ouncer in a respectable restaurant, and let one rip in a deli when I thought nobody was around (turned out there was).

I was supposed to be taking a bit of a break from blogging, but I've been able to verify what I've always suspected - I've got a bit of an addiction.

But in case I'm away for a few more days, you can read some of my favorite posts here, here, here, here, here and here. And here, here and here.

PS - I'm also glad because this week I've reached a milestone - over 100 visitors a day, which is great (and totally self-indulgent). Sure, there are some of you out there who get hundreds of visitors a day. Don't spoil this for me.

PPS - $17,500 - is that good?
