100 Happy Days – Day 48

by Laurel Storey on October 30, 2014

Today there is cause for a milestone celebration in my little corner of the blogosphere, as this is – wait for it – the 1,000th post I’ve shared with you, my readers, since opening Alphabet Salad in August, 2009! I’m pretty lousy at math, but even I can figure out that this works out to an average of around 200 posts a year (am I right?!), which I’d say is pretty darn decent.

*pats self on back*

Meanwhile, since my brain is having a tough time coming up with a way to photograph my happiness at reaching 1,000 posts, here’s a picture of something completely different that’s also making me happy today – my new manicure! I picked the colour because I liked it, but found out afterward that it was actually a magnetic polish which moves around and forms itself into 3D-looking designs when hovered over (while still wet) with a special tool.

Isn’t that fun? I’m telling you, I’m tickled every time I look at them! Just another example of how sometimes it’s the little things. 🙂

Hey there, I found you via the NaBloPoMo blogroll.

Those nails are gorgeous. I have looked at those metallic thingies before but was a bit scared, next time I’ll grab one! 😉

As part of NaBloPoMo I try to comment on as many participating blogs as I can, and I add participating blogs to my feed reader.

So I’m just dropping by to let you know I’ve added your blog to my feedreader, I’m reading you loud and clear, I have a link up going at my place so my readers can find participating blogs which you are more than welcome to add your blog link to.

Looking forward to seeing your posts, and you’ll likely see me drop by again during November.

Happy NaBloPoMo to you!

Wow! Making 1,000 posts makes my head spin. Congratulations. That’s a good reason to be happy. I’m happy because I had a beautiful dream this morning that my companion (who died last December) came back to life. He wasn’t just alive, as a thing in the past, but he actually came back to life. I woke up SOOO happy!
