It's like having an imaginary, extremely well-behaved but severely narcissistic kindergartener

Five years ago today, I sat in a $29 butterfly chair from Bed Bath & Beyond - purchased because it was the only piece of furniture I could conceivably carry the six crosstown blocks home AND fit into my shoebox-size living room - and put all of my plastic-cuppa-wine-swilling effort into giving birth to this little baby blog.

Yikes - sorry for that last TMI visual.

Anyway, my little baby blog turns five today, so please join me in a trip down memory lane as we see what the last five anniversaries have brought:

Like a blogging virgin: 2004

From the mouth of a babe: 2005

I want you to want me: 2006

Celebrating good times, come on: 2007

Solid goals: 2008

Or, just pretend I've poured you a plastic cup of wine and make a toast. After my last recent bout of dish issues, I definitely don't see myself with stemware before year six.
