With all this talk of “blogiversaries,” I decided to dig back through the Erin-go-blog archives and see what was up.

I started the blog, on the urging of a friend, on Feb. 21, 2002. I posted a test post. It said, “This is a test. BEEEEEEEEEP!”

I didn’t post again until January 26, 2003. I was alone watching the Super Bowl and ranting about the Coors Light Twins commercials.

I posted about once a month (twice in May!) until July, when I posted a whopping 3 times! Posted twice in August, but I really started posting regularly in September 2003 when I decided to also keep an online chronicle of my student teaching experience.

My first post in September was on Sept. 8, so I’m calling today my blogiversary. Yay, me.

Of course, the true blogging on a daily (or almost daily) basis started in October…after the infamous breakup. This became a forum for me to express all of those crazy, sad, angry, bitter, heartbroken feelings I was going through. I took some time to skim through it, and it’s amazing to me how far I’ve come…I can’t believe it’s been almost a year. At the same time, I can’t believe that he was still in my life only a year ago.

So thank you, blogger, and faithful readers. You’ve been my therapy. 🙂
