I’m celebrating my one year of blogging AND my 500th blog post at the same time. When this hit me, that these two are going to be around the same time, I wanted to do something big, but no, something moderate, do a giveaway.. no, just a re-cap of the whole year…
And suddenly I felt pressured and I totally blocked – what am I going to write for this blog post or ever for that matter. 500 blog posts in a year, damn I’m chatty, aren’t you tired of reading already??
I hear someone saying from the backrow that you missed me and were wondering where I was, and you want to keep reading. Well, thanks! Here I am then. Ready to write!
So I though, why not tell a little bit more about me.. I loved reading “50 things I like about Myself” from
Steph and
Arianne, and thought this would be a great 500th post! Of course it has taken me now five days to think about 50 things I like about myself, but here we go..
