it's my 100th post.
when i told my husband the news he said, "make it a good one babe. a classic."
ya. that's not gonna happen.
i just don't have it in me anymore. lately, i can't complete a thought, carry on a meaningful conversation, or stay awake past 10 pm. as usual, i will blame the hormones that are ravaging my body in order to sustain the life of my growing fetus. dang hormones. i hate you.
but never fear dear reader. to honor my 100th post i would like to list the top 100 things i have learned from blogging. brace yourself.
100. participating in the WIC program while your husband is in law school thereby forcing you to live off of $21,000 a year in the 3rd most expensive city in america makes you a socialist. it's true. someone named "anonymous" told me so.
99. one can not give too many shout outs. everyone likes a good shout out.
98. it is possible to make some seriously fantastic friends via blogger. cuz let's be honest. striking up a convo in cyberland is way easier than all that face-to-face awkwardness.
97. capitalization and proper punctuation is totally unnecessary and highly over rated.
96. david hernandez googles himself after his performances.
95. when you confess your mothering faux pas on the www, people will lie and tell you what a fantastic mother you are. and even though you know they are just being nice, it will make you feel much better.
94. it doesn't matter how many times you rip on kristie lee cook, she will still get a record deal.
93. posts on politics get people crazy.
92. most every person you know from high school who has a blog, is super duper happy, has the bestest husband in the whole wide world, and loves loves loves being a mommy. and for some reason every one of those blogs make you feel like a big fat loser, just like you did in high school.
91. finding validation through comments is a double edge sword. there's nothing like a 2 comment post to really wreck your day.
90. no matter how witty or fabulous you think your own blog is, chances are it's not that great.
hmmmm. i think i'll stop right there. my blogging insecurities are starting to emerge. and we all know there is nothing more unattractive than an insecure blogger.
anyways. here's to 100 posts.
it's been a real blast.
(that's what she said.)

i don't understand?
sorry. i prematurely hit the publish post button. try again...
At first, it seemed like your blog was at an impasse, but then you showed that it, in fact, WAS NOT.
Way to drop one.
Jaime Grant - I like and look forward to reading your blog! You are fabulous and you don't need the comments to feel validated! You speak the mind of the ladies my friend...you speak the mind of us ladies!
love ya!
You seriously crack me up!!

you realize all those blogs with perfect husbands and well-behaved kids are probably lying. because who in real life is that blissfully-happy all the time? it's disgusting.
I look forward to reading your blogs everyday, it's the only reason I get on the www. I may be bias but I always think you're pretty funny! Love ya

I'm gonna guess that anonymous is Chelsea, just a guess. And I'm not lying when I say that i love getting onto my igoogle and seeing you have a new post. One of the other great things about blogging is you get to see what's going on with your amazing cousins who don't live close, that you probably wouldn't otherwise know much about!
KLC got a record contract?!?! i'm throwing up now.
i hear you on the 2 comment post. it's like a knife in the heart. and then the inner-dialog starts: "why is no one commenting? no one cares about me. so-and-so already has 10 comments and they posted only 10 minutes ago. but it's only a blog. but it's MY blog and if no one cares about MY blog, then no one cares about ME. i hate blogging. i'm never going to post again. i'm done. well, maybe everyone was just really busy. maybe one more entry."
ps. i love reading you. and you are a good mom. happy 100.
pps. thanks for commenting on my blog today. i was beginning to think you hated me.
oh...ok i get it now. I guess i checked right at the wrong time.
that anonymous was not chelsea....she had no idea i told her about that post.
p.s. this one was funny! even though i don't have a blog i like reading yours...and all the blogging drama.
Happy 100th!
92. People just want to LOOK good to everyone else. I hate when I post that I'm having a crappy day and would just like to skip over it and then someone chimes right in and says "complainers suck". Nice.
You have no doubt read seriouslysoblessed.blogspot.com, right? If you haven't, you're in for a treat. She totally rips on all those blogs that are seemingly so perfect. Kills me.
lovin' your blog. Too funny.
Jaime, your blog is great. That's why I read it, I mean c'mon- since we've never actually met. You're funny, you're great (but not perfect), you have variety in writing... Don't let those mean commenters get you down! (Or when all of us readers just have nothing good to say...)
ahh... my kindred sister, you are! happy 100th post, i love your blog, i've missed reading it... i'm finally catching up!
you make me laugh every time i read your blog...because you are seriously funny, and because i have to laugh at myself...do i have to say more and reveal my insecurities??? :)...the point is, it is nice to be able to read what you have written and see a similarity in my life and be able to laugh about it. You're awesome.
