2000 posts!

I just realized … today is my 2000th post! Is that POSSIBLE? Have I been blogging at this site for that long? This is certainly a momentous occasion and I almost missed it. I almost didn’t realize it was the 2000th post.

Hm. What are some other things I’ve done 2000 times? I reached over 2000 tweets on Twitter. I *know* I’ve posted over 2000 status updates on Facebook. I’m sure I’ve posted more than 2000 comments, too.

I’d like to say I have 2000 pairs of shoes, but I’m pretty sure my husband would be unhappy with me. (However, I’m adding this to my goals list.)

I certainly don’t have 2000 handbags, but maybe I should reconisder that as well. For future reference.

I *know* I’ve spent over $2,000 in shoes and handbags. It’s a gold mine in that closet. (Shh. Don’t tell Man.)

I probably, at one time, had 2000 books but have since culled the herd. Most have gone to Half Price Books. Others have gone to friends and/or family.

Oh! I know! I have a 2000 song MP3 collection. That’s…staggering.

I started off the year 2000 drunk and puking up my toenails in my sister’s bathroom. (Yeah, let’s not go there. REALLY. In fact, I’m not sure I have much recollection of January 1, 2000…)

So, WOW! Here I am at 2000. I can’t let this pass without at least a nod of celebration. Ready?

  • Here is my first blog post on this site on 4/11/2005.
  • This blog post got the most comments to date. And by the fabulous Misty Evans!
  • This post is one of my all time favorites. (Love you, honey!)
  • This one is all about Dreamkillers and Naysayers.
  • And here is where someone hijacked my email address. It still makes me mad.
  • Let’s not forget the great Ikea Debacle of 2006.
  • A super informative blog post from my friend, Devon, on freelancing. Here’s part 1 and here’s part 2.

There were numerous posts about Lost, numerous guests who came to visit (Devon Ellington, Jennifer August, Allison Pang, Madeleine Drake, Teri Thackston, Miriam Newman, Lisa Marie Wilkinson, and lots more!), and numerous times I was happy it was Friday. 😉

Since it’s Friday and since it’s my 2000th post, I THINK THIS CALLS FOR A GIVEAWAY! Yes, I’m shouting. Yes! I’m just that damned excited.

I would *love* to see 2000 comments today. If that happens, I will not only dance a little jig, but also give the 2000th commenter my entire backlist. LOL If that doesn’t happen…well, then I will draw a name at random and give that person a download of one of my ebooks, winner’s choice, along with a copy of my two short stories, EORWULF and THE SOUL OF SHARAH. Free books, people! So comment up until midnight CST and the I’ll draw a winner tomorrow and email that winner (don’t forget to put in your email address!).

So get to commenting and spread the word!

Happy 2000 day!

  1. CONGRATULATIONS! 2000 posts, that’s an awesome achievement. I have over 2000 books myself but apart from that I don’t think I have anything near that figure. I hope that you will go on to celebrate many more milestones in the future.

  2. Happy 2000! I think 2000 shoes is a worthy goal to have so hang in there. Its almost as important as 2000 books sold, at least to me it is. Which is a personal goal of mine.

  3. Congratulations, stalker!!!!

    2000 blogs is quite a thing! I am very proud of you; so proud, I’ll probably go buy a handbag in your honor.

  4. Wow, you’ve been blogging a long time. Woot! Great job. I’m at less than two hundred posts. LOL. I’m loving it! *raise glass* Here’s to two thousand more, Michelle.

  5. 2000 pairs of shoes is a good idea 💡 But the millennium dance of 2000 will always be my favorite memory for you and the number 2000 😀

  9. Congrats on your 2000th post. I can’t imagine writing so much. I am a slug-a-bug when it comes to writing, so I would never make it. I just don’t find my life exciting enough to share with the world. lol 💡

  10. Wow, Michelle! That is a LOT of posting! Great job and go you! And I cannot even imagine a closet with 2000 pair of shoes or handbags…and yes, I am a female! That’s CRAZY dedication to the accessory!

  12. 😛 🙂 😆 What a great MILEStone (teehee)! Congratulations, Michelle and thanks for the time-warp. How fun to see how far you’ve come and the detours you’ve taken. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Here’s to 2000 more great posts! A votre sante!

  14. CONGRATS on 2000 blogs! I’m sure it’s an accomplishment I’ll never reach, because, ah, well, I don’t have much to say. Of course 2000 pairs of shoes or handbags would be better, but we can settle for 2000 times on the NYT bestseller lists 🙂

    Congrats and here’s to 2000 more! 😆

  15. Congrats to your 2000th!!! I do not think I have 2000 of anything…..Buut I know I have at least 2000 e-books!! and only about 400 paper books. I have been culling the heard also. LOL Congrats again!!!

  19. Sometimes I feel as if I’ve done 2000 posts this month, 😉 but I have to confratulate you for your persistance. Congratulations! Quite a feat.

  20. Robin, thanks for stopping by! I’m not sure I have much to say either.. but, hey! I still do it. 😉 I’m shooting for 2000 times on the NYT Bestseller List, too. That would be AWESOME.

  23. WTG Michelle, that is a heck of a lot of chatting. I think the only 2000 I might have acquired in my life would be books. Between ebooks and paper,and 30 years of reading, that has got to be my biggest collection.

    Hoping you get another 2000 today!

  24. CONGRATULATIONS, woman! I had no idea you’d blogged that much, but I’m sure glad I played a small part in adding to the bottom line. 😀

    Here’s to another 2000 blog posts, and I’m with Vicki, I think I should celebrate your success by buying myself a new handbag. 😉

  25. Hi Michelle,

    Happy 2000th post! While I may show no particular interest in owning 2000 shoes, I am hoping to collect 2000 books. 😀

    One of my favorite quotes is by Augustine Birrell; “An ordinary man can…surround himself with two thousand books…and thenceforward have at least one place in the world in which it is possible to be happy.”

  27. 2,000 posts is phenomenal! Congratulations!! Love Misty Evans (one of my Magical Musing sisters!), so I’m going to check out the post you mentioned with her now ;).

  31. Hi Susan! Thanks for stopping by! I love that quote, by the way 🙂

    Hi Misty! *waves* One of my favorite blog buddies/writers AND you got the most comments, though I think this post might beat you out. 😉

    Hi Cathy M! Thank you for stopping by! You *do* have a lot of books. I think you win that one. hehe

    Also waving to Elaing8 and Caroline and Jean and I *know* I’ve missed some of you folks. Thanks to EVERYONE for stopping by today to say hi and join in the fun. It’s been a blast!

  32. Wow, 2000!! I don’t think I’ve done anything 2000 times,well, except say “well”. um, and maybe “um”. Soooo (oops another one) Congratulations!!!!! :mrgreen:

  33. Outstanding! Congratulations on reaching this excellent goal! BTW, instead of handbags, it would be shoes for me.
    Yes, I do believe this would be a great day to shop for
    shoes!

  35. Allannah, I’m glad we connected on Twitter, too 🙂 It’s been fun talking to you!

    Hi, Pat! Thanks for stopping by. Yes. Shoes are definitely in order. 🙂

    Bailey, LOL!

  39. Congratulations! Sorry this is late! I hope better late than never since
    a)have been terribly ill
    b)out of town
    c)both a & b overlapped a little making it miserable for a few days.

    Again, sorry this is late!

    But you rock, girlfriend!
