Well, this is my 500th post, and I’d like to thank you for sticking around. For those of you who are new, I’m glad to have you here, too. Let’s look back at the history of this blog, which we lovingly call “superpaige’s pad”. I didn’t actually pick that name, if you must know. Ryan set up this blog for me (in fact he wrote the first post)<\/a>, and called it that. I thought maybe I would change the name to something cute and clever, but nothing ever came to me. And, since I am Superpaige, and this is my pad, I’ve kept it at that.<\/p>\n

We started<\/a> this blog journey back in June of 2005. A few<\/a> of my<\/a> friends<\/a> had begun to blog, and, not wanting to be left out, talked to my ultra tech savy husband, and he set me up with one. I didn’t really know what I was doing (still don’t!) and I must say some of the posts were pretty boring.<\/a> Unfortunately for all of us, not much has changed.<\/p>\n

But what has changed is how many people I’ve “met”. A friend linked to an interesting blog she read<\/a>, then after reading that one I linked to some other blogs<\/a> on her blogroll<\/a>, and now I have a bunch<\/a> of interesting people<\/a> I read about weekly. No, I don’t know most of them<\/a>, but they seem like the kind of people<\/a> I would get along with<\/a>. I thought it was quite a complement when someone I don’t know in real life put me on her blogroll (thanks, Mel)<\/a>! Wow!<\/p>\n

The fun thing about blog relationships, is that if someone’s blog is boring you, you just close it and stop reading. Take it off your bookmarks. If only some real relationships could be like that.<\/p>\n

It’s nice that more of my friends in real life are blogging, so I can catch up on what they are doing, even if they live far away. Although I must say, I wish some of them<\/a> would post more often. Once a week<\/a>? Not enough. I’m just saying. But maybe they live busier lives than me and don’t have the time or patience to update more often. I’ll just have to read it when I can, and then bug them in emails and on the phone. Which makes me wonder–what did I do with that extra time before I got into this whole blogging thing? Probably kept my house cleaner. Oh well. It’s a trade off.<\/p>\n

So, thanks for sticking with me through the last 500 posts, and hopefully the content will improve in the next 500, and I’ll have more interesting things to talk about than my library fines<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
