I had no idea when I started this blog experiment I’d reveal all this crap strange and wonderful stuff.  Or that I’d still be doing it three years later.  I still look at every post and think… “can I do this?” I am half-excited and half-terrified every time I hit “Publish,” but telling my story seems worth it – remembering, recording, trying to make sense of it and sharing it.  I work so hard to entertain Philip and keep the connection open.  And I’ve met the strange and wonderful men from AM… have to tell you all about it!

I am astonished I have kept the blog a secret. It is strange not to share what I consider a major accomplishment with my real life friends and family, and to share so many feelings with you and none of the usual facts!   There are many of you I trust, but it’s simpler to stay anonymous.

This blog led me to so many other fabulous blogs!  Be sure to check out my blog roll on the right.  I’ve learned so much about life, love, great sex, and myself.  I’ve connected with so many wonderful bloggers and other readers.  I hope you’ll join with me in hoping we all keep sharing for a long time!

• 65 members. 
• Over 150,000 hits.  
• Over 1,850 posts.  
• Even a mention on Lola & HH’s list of “25 of the hottest female bloggers!”  I am not into thongs, booze or shoes, but I’ll take the honor! 
• Whee!

Special thanks to the ever-hot Advizor54 from “Free Advice is worth what you pay for it” and sexy stealth comedian Tom from “Three Spelling Mistakes” for running the weekly “Flash Fiction Friday” meme over the past year that kept challenging me and connecting me to so many great writers and readers.

As the handsome and talented Ryan Beaumont of “The Ashley Madison Adventures of a Regular Guy Gone Bad” put it so beautifully in his four-year blogiversary post, [how freaky is that?!  We started posting on the same day, a year apart] blogging is”that little something extra we need to feel good about where we are in life.  Yeah, a little life lagniappe.” I hope to keep adding something extra to my life and yours for awhile longer! 

I’m still writing!  Wow!!  And you are still reading!  Wow!!!  Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

Hugs with groping!
