The First Birthday Shout!

Self,

I don't know if it has been noticed that I haven't given any shout out to people for their birthdays here. It's not because I being mean or anything like that. lol it has a lot to do with memory....and I don't have a very good one....I would hate to give birthday shout out and then discover that I missed someone because I was overwhelmed with stuff and forgot! So I just decided not to do any!

That said.....there is One birthday shout out that I have to do! Today I am 1 year old, or rather "Note2Self-byPharaoh" is one year old today! On September 27, 2008 I penned my first note (Know thy Self) here.....hmm and it's been a torrid love affair since!

My first "Note" was an introduction of myself and what I wanted out of Blogging. Here at my first birthday I think some mild reflections are in order.

I had planned for this to be a daily blog as NYSuitor has reminded me on several occasions sense we connected. (Did I ever mention that he was reading "Notes" even before we had ever knew each other?)

Well I have to admit that I fell short of a daily blog. out of 365 possible entries I have a grand total of........(drum roll, please.)

158 entries.

Although 7 of those are actually "drafts" of post that I started but never finished/published. My ratio as a daily blog is about 43%. =( not even half.

However as a WEEKLY Blog my ratio would be 304% That's a hellalot better and certainly worth smiling about! =) (if you need to do the math for yourself 158/52 = 3.038......do you really have such little trust in me that you needed to get the calculator......fine, I'll wait!)

Now that my math has been verified. I have to say ratio's be damned I have enjoyed my experience with my blog. I hope you have too. a special shout out to readers and followers alike,....knowing that you're out there helps to keep the "pen" in my hand. LOL your comments help too!

Now mushy stuff aside, I think for Note's birthday it's time to do some redecorating. I'd like to hear some suggest on ways to change things up a bit.

Sincerely,
Pharaoh

PS look forward to reading everyone's comments.
