No, I’m not taunting you, Grinchie. When I bought my sweetheart her Valentine’s Day card (year 17-no ring) at the Gold Crown Store, they snuck a free datebook calendar in the bag without my noticing.
This pamphlet is full of hints on how to celebrate all the holidays in 2007. All 57 holidays that they have delineated on inside front cover and throughout the calendar. Fifty-seven holidays.
I get eight paid holidays. State and federal workers probably get twice that many. Stacey Campfield should get 365. Eric Crafton should just take tomorrow off and then rinse. Repeat.
Regardless, I’ve obviously been missing out on some important Hallmark Holidays and the opportunity to pay $3.99 to wish someone a pleasant Purim. Or a dandy Doctors Day. Or an entertaining Earth Day. Or an acceptable Administrative Professionals Day. Or a nice National Day of Prayer or Nurses Day. Or a fabulous Flag Day or a fine Friendship Day. Don’t forget a passable Patriot Day. I’ll be expecting a crappy Citizenship Day card from Senor Crafton.
Eid-al-Fitr or Diwali? Not on my calendar. Sorry about that. I’m not intolerant, just ignorant. I did enjoy the tribute to Diwali on “The Office,” though.
Sweetest Day? I’m pretty sure that’s a midwestern thing practiced by the coven of Coble, Jag and B. Maybe if they sent me a carnation or something that day, I’d have a sunnier outlook about that particular holiday.
But what really chaps my buns is that among the 57 holidays, there is no mention of my blogiversary today. 400+ posts and innumerable embarrassing stories about myself and Hallmark doesn’t think I’m worthy of a folded piece of paper.
Fuggem. I’ll buy her flowers and make my own card next year.

Happy Anniversary!! I’ll be drinking to your site and many more posts tonight!

Well, I think this needs a better name than just an “anniversary”.
Dryversary?
Spotversary?
Blatherversary?
Regardless, congratulations.

*jumps out of cake for CLC’s Blogaversary*

Happy Anny to you.
May your live blogging bring more knowledge of clinical results, Billy Joel snoozefests, etc.

Aw, well, happy blogaversary to you, my friend. You’re right, there SHOULD be a card!
But in any case, my world would be a lot less fun and interesting with no Dry Spottage.

for some reason, dry spottage made me laugh. Not quite dirty, yet again, yes it sorta was.
Hee.

I know. It sounds vaguely sexual but also sort of clinically gynecological.
Kind of the same way “pap smear” almost sounds like something you’d ask for at the deli when buying bagels. But, ew.

I’m so moved by this occasion that i can barely type….
Go CLC…go Vandy.
You rock the blog-a-teria. Keep it rockin’.
February 25, 2007 at 2:02 pm
…and none of your posts are showing up in my reader again. I wish the syndication genie would fix it. I’m too lazy to come over here manually on a regular basis!
February 25, 2007 at 3:44 pm
Happy Blogaversary! Glad to know ya!
February 26, 2007 at 1:47 am
Yeah, Smiley dearest, Lesley’s got a point. I was missing most of your posts in my reader this past week and only found some of them when I actually came to the blog.
Have you done anything different this week as far as posting/submitting/backdating or anything like that? Yours is the only one of our NIT WP blogs that’s missing so I’ve been scratching my head all week as to what’s up with that….

Are you suggesting a post Lent Blogaversary party?
