on august 6th, this little blog turned three! cue “my little baby is all grown uppp, where did the time go, yada yada.” but gosh, it sure does feel strange thinking that i’ve been writing on here for 36 [almost 37] months. that’s a long while, and i was quite a youngster back then when a bit of sweet and color was birthed. it’s somewhat unreal. this blog has grown to be so much a part of me. it’s most definitely a third job [after my real job + culinary school], hence the complete craziness of my life right now, but i wouldn’t have it any other way. i think i worry less about posting now and just do [or don’t, depending on what kind of week it is, and then i don’t give it a second thought!]. i love that ABSC embodies my soul and very being – i do it for me and no one else. it captures my life right now – the fun things and the hard things, and the moments that i would never remember if i didn’t write them down. i believe that my posts reflect my true colors and who i really am: i’m sarcastic yet reflective, i recharge with spurts of alone time but prefer to spend my days with people/be really busy [almost] all the time, i’m a visual person, uninterested in television, somewhat of a worrywart, concerned about what others think/feel but not sensitive, someone who likes to talk things through. i feel that this blog sort of shows this personality of mine better than i can express when i’m first getting to know someone – my close friends know that this is me but i think ABSC gives people who don’t know me as well a glimpse of the person i am. i don’t really know how to explain it. [yet for some reason, i don’t tell a lot of people about the blog. it somehow feels weird. but ya just gotta be facebook friends with me and then you DEFINITELY know it exists. haha]. anyway, it’s special to me and i like celebrating it every year, because we’ve come a long way together.
as you remember from ABSC’s first birthday and second birthday, it’s a tradition for me to 1.) celebrate her birthday LATE, approximately one month late. every time, no matter how hard i try to remember when her birthday is/post about it. [i sure hope i can get it together before i have kids, because the timeliness of my future children’s birthday parties are looking real promising. i can see it now. luckily i have lotsssssss of time to try to get my act together], and 2.) celebrating with a bit of sweet, of course! in this case, a cute wittle cupcake from bread winners [apparently bread winners is becoming a blog bday tradition as well! it helps that it’s right across the street…]. i made a wish for this little blog and silently thanked it for being one of the best things that’s happened to me over these past few years, since it really does make me so happy.
{this photo is a bit blurry which makes me look like i have a glimmer of tears in my eyes or something. uh, i promise that’s not the case. awkward turtle. i love you, little blog, but i’m not THAT emotional about your bday. sorry.}
and finally, i want to give a special thank you to all you readers out there who follow along. i so very much appreciate your interest and support! i really love you guys. xoxo
