Three years ago today I sat in the world’s tiniest cubicle and wrote for the first time on a blog called “Thunderfish”. It is no more. It is now “Edge Of The Blade” thanks to a jerk who thought I was having an affair with his 300 pound wife so he ran off to San Diego and left her. And NO! I was not having an affair with her. And they got back together and he never apologized. Next time I see him I’m going to do something very un-Christian and pop him in the mouth. Thanks be to God.
This has been my place for 3 years to say what I want without fear of retribution, share my triumphs and struggles, make friends and discover that I’m not really alone.
I have been saddened that Hope of “Jesus Doesn’t Want Me For A Sunbeam” is no longer writing. As well as a few others. I miss them as well as a bunch of others who stopped or didn’t write long enough to know how good they were.
Some of you people are crazy. Some of you share my affinity for crunchy sandwiches. Some of you share my opinion of politics. Some of you are about to doze off to sleep.
Some of you have shared your secrets. I have cried for you and you never knew it. I have laughed with you and waited anxiously to read your next words. Sundays I spend reading your secrets on PostSecret. And some of you have accused me of things I never did.
I’m glad I have encountered each and every one of you.
Some of you don’t believe in my Jesus. He’s your Jesus too. And if he loved me he can DEFINITELY love you.
Three years is a long time for you saps to stick around. Thanks. It’s kept me sane.
I have some cold dark meat fried chicken in my mini fridge. You are welcome to come over today and have some for lunch!
And because when I get too intimate I like to make jokes. Here is a drunk girl with her underwear hanging out.
At Groovy’s request I place some of my favorite posts in the drop down to the left under “Choose A Favorite”

I’m SO glad you and I stumbled across each other. You and your blog are something special. (And didn’t I ask you NOT to post that pic of me in my undies? C’mon! Be nice!)
March 18, 2008 at 2:43 pm
Happy blogversary! Three years is a real milestone.
In honor of your blogversary, I will stop being lazy and go add your link to my page. How’s that for a present?
March 18, 2008 at 2:47 pm
Terri: That can’t be you, all the pictures you send me you’re in your granny panties!
The feeling is neutral!!!

Awww, look at you getting all mushy on us. I love that. Especially when it’s followed up with funny.
Happy Blogiversary, if you have any cornbread, I’ll be over by lunchtime.
March 18, 2008 at 3:08 pm
AWww I like reading your blog too!
It just takes some of us longer to realize what we want to write about. Come visit my blog sometime. π
March 18, 2008 at 5:14 pm
Three years! Cool! You should pull out one of your all time favorite posts for us to read in honor of the occasion.
March 18, 2008 at 5:38 pm
Holy crap, I thought this was some sappy good-bye note. Don’t scare me like that! Anyhoop. Happy Blogoversary. What’s the story behind the 300 chick? I need more details.
March 18, 2008 at 6:37 pm
happy blogversary!
March 18, 2008 at 7:54 pm
Happy 3 years!!! I will toast you with a Cheetoh sandwich and a glass of wine. Cheers!

Groovy: I have a few post that have been wildly popular. But by far The Underwear Post is a hands down winner.

Tink: I’ll email you the story. No no goodbyes. This is too much fun.
Love you Tinker!

The underwear post was a good one, but it still doesn’t answer my question. Is it acceptable for a 40 year old woman’s thong to be showing? I need to know. π
Actually, I have found that keeping it hidden, but occasionally bending over in front of my husband, therefore revealing my thong, has quite an impact.
March 18, 2008 at 10:57 pm
Three years huh? Wow, glad I ran into you! π

Have a megastupenderous, celebratorious blogoversary commemoration for your fine self. Keep on posting – but this time, tell us what you really think!!
March 19, 2008 at 4:41 am
looks like a twister game was going on in the back ground of the first picture!
March 19, 2008 at 12:35 pm
Groovy: I don’t think there is anything wrong with it unless they just shouldn’t be doing that. I mean some people shouldn’t wear tiny tight clothes. I think if it’s done with panache and taste it might be sexy.
~Jef
March 19, 2008 at 12:36 pm
Kelly: You know you were one of my very first commentors. I looked up the first few and you were like the 3rd I think. So you’ve been with me almost the longest. Thanks for staying and for your writing.

TD: LOL I’ll try to be more honest if you promise to be more about politics!

Awesome post! Congrats on hanging in there. Glad you write and glad you come and visit me occassionally.
You are a great example of what I call “an everyday Christian”. Someone who doesn’t act all holier than thou. Just a normal, funny, irreverent person who happens to be yes, a Christian. That is what I strive for everyday. I figure that what He did.
March 19, 2008 at 2:15 pm
Debbie: LOL You’re shooting low if you are aiming t0 be like me! Thanks for reading. I enjoy visiting you as well.

Happy blogversary! My three year is coming up in June. We’re almost the same age (our blogs, I mean).
Now if only you and Trevor could finally meet up. He desperately needs a Texas Tech buddy to discuss sports with…
March 20, 2008 at 5:14 am
I am not sure what the hell half of this blog was about, but uhh I am commenting anyway because I am just that awesome π haha.
If you pop the dude make sure you either run like hell or he doesn’t get up. I have seen you, you don’t look like the fist fight type guy HAHA
Brackets up best of luck
March 20, 2008 at 9:51 pm
will you quit sneaking into my back yard, dammit!
(okay I know that joke has probably been done already…)
March 21, 2008 at 4:00 pm
Right back at you.
Wow. I love those pics…a captioner’s paradise:
“Ye damned whale!”
“Just say no to crack”
March 24, 2008 at 5:45 am
Now what does it tell you that this post with the thong pictures and nekkid drunk girl pics has gotten 34 comments already? Sex sells.
I’m just sayin’.
we all think with our, um, nether regions.
March 24, 2008 at 5:57 am
I just decided my last comment was a sweeping generalization because I think with my brain and mostly my heart, and I suppose others do too. I’ve just met a few strange people recently who are nether-region-directed. It clouded my thinking for a moment.
