500th post and 50 things about me

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..
