Ten Year Retrospective

So.

It’s been ten years of blogging. A lot has happened in my life in ten years. THANK GOD!

Imagine how wretched an individual I would be if I hadn’t had something happen to me in ten years.

When I started this blog I lived in a cheap two-bedroom apartment in Sunnyvale, was about to finish my bachelors degree. I had already been a consultant in Silicon Valley and gotten off just as everyone was getting thrown off.

I figured I would get my college degree, because I knew I needed to move. But you can’t graduate from a college unless you ATTEND it for a while. And I wanted to wrap up the degree.

So, I finished my consultant gig and then finished my degree. Just as I was about to graduate with an English degree I found out about BLOGs.

I had to get a piece of that. I started out on Blogger. Then my brother Bryan bought me a domain name. Then i bought my own domain name. Three platforms later, and now I am still blogging

So much has changed. I had dreams and what I thought the future would hold then.

I had my first laptop then. I am on my fifth laptop now. and I RAN THEM INTO THE GROUND.

I am on my third car.

I am on my second husband.

And I am stuck on my first child. She’s pretty great

I am living in my second home and on my 6th mortgage.

I’ve had one cat, he’s dead. oh wait, I had joint custody of a cat with my brother. He got full custody. That cat is gone too.

I am still living with my first dog.

How does one measure the length of ten years of life?

Ten years. One Blog.

  1. I will never forget the great gift you gave me by introducing me to blogging those 10 (!) years ago. I’ve always enjoyed reading your insights, and I sometime stand in wonder at your sense of wonder. It’s a beautiful thing. Happy Anniversary, Gal!
