In Honor of My 800th Post: RECAP & BONUS

First, highlights from the last 99 posts, in which I. . .

. . . became an auntie (again) to this guy who turns 1 this week;

. . . survived Thanksgiving 2011 with minimal "Seraphic's Singles Game" points, and met Younger Sister's boyfriend (who is still very much around! I guess he likes our weird family);

. . . suffered two serious losses--one belonging to the mind, and one to the heart;

. . . reported for jury duty for the first time ever in my life;

. . . started a new side job (with unusual benefits);

. . . kicked off the summer barely clinging to my (altered) position at my full-time job;

. . . celebrated The Cat's 15th birthday;

. . . decided to "make lemonade" out of life's lemons (I think that has to be a new label from now on);

. . .  got rejected by not one but three prospective employers; and. . .

. . . came through a Hurricane/Frankenstorm O.K. 

Excuse me for a moment while I recharge my calico after all that linkage.

 

    
Second, any suggestions how to celebrate this milestone?

In the past, I've done the "ask Kate P anything segments," which I am more than happy to do again if blogreaders are eager to ask.

That said, a few months ago I did make something vaguely like a sort of tentative promise for the 800th post (read the comments) to brand-new-mama Angela Noelle.


So what does that mean for you, the blogreaders/blogfriends?


BONUS TIME!  I am raffling off a gift card to someplace/some-site pretty much anyone can use.

What do you need to do?  COMMENT, regarding one or both of the following:

1. Ask me anything (off limits: my real name, exact age/weight/address, workplace name/location--you get the idea).  Past questions/answers here (along with other meme responses).

AND/OR

2. Do you want me to sing, per Angela's comment?  If yes, what do you want me to sing??? (Keep it clean, people.)



Have fun!
