happy anniversary

So here's the thing.  I've been blogging for a solid 2. 2 years now and I think we can all agree that I'm still pretty crap at it.  If by crap you mean I haven't been discovered and scored my own talk show/book deal/3am infomercial yet.  Which sometimes bothers me immensely but mostly I think, " Why the hell would I want my own talk show?  I mean I'd have to get up at some ungodly hour, leave the kids with a nanny, traipse into a tv studio via a limo to get my hair and makeup done, throw on some sort of designer frock arrangement, before quizzing guests about why they slept with their best friends husbands second cousin for a solid 25 minutes AND taking home a mega huge pay packet."  I don't know about you, but that sounds AWFUL.


Anyho, while wallowing in my complete and utter failure to make it as a Big Time Blogger, I stumbled across the most awesome blog written by The Bloggess, with this brilliant post cleverly titled "15 things your absolutely must know about social media or your face will melt off and get eaten by goats."  iiiiiiii know.  I was terrified by the prospect of my face melting off too.  So I read the post ASAP, laughed hard at every single point and then, because I'm nothing if not thorough when it comes to snooping, found this post, which has to be the funniest thing I've ever read on all of the interwebs.  
This picture will totally make sense when you click here
I encourage you all to read it and then come back here and note two things: 
1) that post has 3,935 comments.   So I think we can all agree that The Bloggess is officially The Oprah of Blogging 
and 2) it's our 16th Wedding Anniversary this Saturday.  
Yes, that's Scott and I on our wedding day in 1997.  Please note that oversized headbands and dark brown lipstick were totally a thing back then.  

If 15 is BIG METAL CHICKENS, what the hell is 16? I don't know about you, but I'm stumped.  I mean, I'm fairly sure 16 is BIG WHOPPING DIAMONDS for the wife, but what on earth is it for the bloke?  
Suggestions will be gladly accepted in the comments section below.
Where, FYI, I average 2.5 comments.  Which is just slightly short of 3,935.

  1. Better comment to lift that average Kristen. I loved that post by the bloggess. Thanks for sharing. I haven't been discovered yet either but think that I don't really want to be or I would've quit by now. Gives me a legitimate excuse to tell hubby why I'm checking facebook or twitter quite frequently ;)

    1. I feel exactly the same way re: being discovered. Blogging is purely a hobby for me and if what I write gives someone a bit of a laugh along the way, then my work here is done ;)

    1. Most of my blog posts get 0 comments too...but I love it when I do get comments because I reckon that's where all the action takes place. Thanks for commenting today x

  3. Funny you mention that post because that's the first one I ever read of hers. Congratulations on your anniversary. I was going to say you could give him a medal but he probably tells you that all the time. (Just kidding.)

  4. That post by the Bloggess on Beyonce the Chicken is an old favourite of mine, I nearly piddled myself laughing when I first read it. To this day whenever hubster & I see a metal chicken decoration at Bunnings or similar we share a smirk and say just one word: Beyonce!

  5. Happy Anni!I also stumbled upon that post last week, and it was the first post I'd read by the Bloggess but it was so good, that I know it won't be the last! And there I was thinking I was the only person with a healthy average of zero comments! Blogging might not bring me fame and fortune, but it makes me happy and keeps me out of mischief! Love your work! xx
