Seventh Blogiversary!

Dear Readers,  

Same Sassy Girl is passing a major milestone today – SEVEN YEARS of blogging.  Wow!  Time to celebrate!  Have a cupcake!  I got one for you! You can have some hugs with groping and… mmm… what was I talking about?  Oh yes!  SEVEN YEARS!  YIKES!

  • Over 375,000 hits.  
  • Over 54,000 hits this year.
  • This is my 4,197th post!  
  • Whee!
Some days seven years ago seems like forever – I have come so far, learned so much, seen so many bloggers cum and go.  Other times it still feels so shiny and new. How can it be seven years?!  If you haven’t read about my humble beginning, please click “The Start” above and read about how I reconnected with my old flame and started on the road to Sassy-ness!  

I had no idea when I started this blog experiment I’d reveal all this crap strange and wonderful stuff.  I just wanted a seat at the table with the likes of Riff Dawg, Ryan Beaumont, Advizor54, Kat, Holly or Ms. I.  I figured I’d write for a month or two, tell people about Philip and me and then stop, like you do when you write a book.

Every post is still tough – I 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 keep wondering how my story will turn out, but it’s still happening… and I hope still interesting to you!

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 fantastic blogs and the wonderful people who write them!  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!  In these strange days, the personal sexy stories are such a marvelous distraction from the world’s ills.

The best part, which I didn’t know about when I started writing, is the blogger community online. I am so happy to be part of it!  Where else can you talk with the likes of supportive and sensual Naughty Kitty?  And the amazing adventures of James from Break Out!  Or Suzy from Adventures of a Happy Hotwife!!

I desperately miss the uber-sexy smart stud Advizor54 who started blogging in February 2006 with his Free Advice is worth what you pay for it and posted the hottest twisted fiction tinged with reality in the blogosphere! He needed a break in August and disappeared, but I hear he is alive and well and may return soon!

As the smart and sexy Ryan Beaumont of “The Ashley Madison Adventures of a Regular Guy Gone Bad” put it so poetically 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! And you are still reading!  Wow!!!  Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.  Your comments and emails make my day!

If you have a story to tell, join me!  Start blogging today!  Google’s Blogger is mostly easy and there are lots of us to help you get your words out there.  This could be your blogiversary next year!

Hugs with groping!

-Sassy

Happy Platinum Wedding Anniversary to the Queen and Prince Philip! The landmark day is tomorrow, and Buckingham Palace has issued this lovely portrait of the 91-year-old monarch and her 96-year-old consort to mark their 70 years as husband and wife.
