The Big 5...0...0!

I can hardly believe it. This post is numero 500. Who'd have thought I'd have 500 different things to write about when I first started this? Not I, that's for sure.

So, in honor of this momentous occasion (boy, there have been quite a few of those around here lately--has the worm turned?), here are some stats on my blog:

* It has taken me 785 days - 2 years, 1 month, 24 days - to reach this post.

* That is an average of a post every 1.57 days. (go me!)

* My Visitors Come from These Countries:

  • United States - 85%
  • Canada - 7%
  • Australia - 3%
  • United Kingdom - 2%
  • Germany & South Africa - 1% each
  • Plus 30 other countries for the remaining 1%

* I have had 80,759 hits since I started counting them in April 08.

* 19366 of those hits are from unique visitors (since November 08).

The 500:

500 seconds ago: I picked up Sh.awn's pacifier off the floor, kissed his forehead, and gave it back to him.

500 minutes ago: I was at work, on my prep period, creating a flyer for an upcoming fund raiser. (We're selling leis for the promotion ceremony. I refrained from all kinds of inappropriate comments about "getting lei ed" though. I am quite proud of myself. :-))

500 hours ago: I was annoyed at my husband for trying to teach my children the song, "My Ding-a-ling."

500 days ago: We were celebrating Sh.awn's homecoming from the NICU!

500 weeks ago: It was November, 8, 1999, and I had just started my second year of teaching junior high school. I had been dating Is.aac for 10 years and still had another 3 years to go before we got married.

My 500th picture of the boys:

Me touching Ja.son on November 11, 2007. He was 15 days old.

500 pictures ago:

Feeding the giraffes at the zoo on my birthday, April 18, 2009. I was 37 years old. That tongue still amazes me! (the giraffe's, not mine)

What I would do with an extra $500: I think I would go to Disneyland with my family. Of course I'd need a whole lot more than $500 most likely, but whatever.

With an extra 500 minutes: Sleep. Sleep. Sleep. Then clean the house.

Much love to all of you out there. :-)
