Blogaversary

Hey, I just realized something. This is the one year anniversary of my blog. Dave Goodman of emusings kept nagging me to get my own blog. I was blogging in his comments section on a regular basis, so in a way, I've been blogging for over a year now.

This started out as an experiment. I wasn't sure if I would do it for more than a month or two. I also wasn't sure what I would write about. I wanted to keep things light and funny as much as possible. If people wanted sadness and tragedy, hospitals could sell tickets.

I did not want this to be a professional blog and was, and still am, a little alarmed that my name has been added to the blogroll of professional nursing blogs. Although everything I write is true, I try to approach things from a silly angle. Most nursing blogs are so serious that they could be attached to resumes. I didn't think that I would fit in because I try to be silly and I'm not writing for medical professionals, but I've gained more readers, so I guess that I'm worrying for nothing.

My biggest surprise has been my stats. I hit the 15,000 mark a few weeks ago. Of course it's not 15,000 different people reading my blog, it's mostly the same people re-visiting, but still, I never dreamed that I would have those kind of stats.

This blog is no longer an experiment. I'm completely and hopelessly addicted. Thanks, Dave (I think) and thank you to everyone who visits me.
