Some things can't be avoided: today is my first annual blogiversary. I discovered it yesterday and thought that I would ignore it; alas, like an important birthday, it's there staring you in the face.

I won't bore you with stats, but I am proud to have had over 135,000 hits and written 185 posts. My favorite number is my current followers at 69!

It's been an adventure and brought much love and excitement into our lives. Writing is sometimes very fun and easy, and sometimes very, very difficult. I find that I now live for comments, so please keep them coming. Spanking certainly has changed the world for Ben and me, but it's blogging about it that adds another element of invigoration. Ben's enthusiasm for the blog delights me.

I just want to say thank you to everyone who stops by here to see what we've been up to. You make it worthwhile for me. And I want to let you know that you really can comment anonymously, no one will ever know who you are or where you come from. Join in!
