It’s been 2 years since I started blogging and I feel like I’ve won the lottery…accept without any of the money, so yeah, I’d still like to win an actual lottery.
I’m so thankful for your support, likes, comments, shares, advice, encouragement, comfort, and more. I’m also thrilled and privileged to be able to read and view your works. Thank you all.
So come on, I’m talkin’ to you, help me Shout! Shout! Let it all out to celebrate my 2 year blog birthday by leaving your blog address or a link to a post in the comment section below…please!
Now to play catch-up. I’ve fallen behind on my Changes for Happiness project, not the doing, just the writing about it. Will a weak, ‘it’s been hot’ explain the lapse?
2. Looked at some old photos, I cried, but remembered to be happy it happened, not that it’s gone.
3. Watched something I wanted to watch, but didn’t feel I had time.
4. Bit the bullet (not literally, high dental bills) and made that appointment.
5. Tore up that shirt I loved, to use as rags – it lived a full life.
6.Craved a burger – If I liked it then I should have put an onion ring on it.
7. This was the birthday of my friend of 30 years, Rose, who recently passed away; she would have wanted there to be music and cake.
Week 7
1. Cleaned first…then checked emails.
2. Decided on 3 fun things and did them (within the limits of time, budget, circumstances, etc.)
3. Broke a bad habit, snapped it over my knee (not that knee, the other one).
4. Don’t like to go shopping, don’t do it often…going to do it even less.
5. Time is flying…going to catch a ride.
6. Added 15 minutes more exercise, Tai Chi and yoga per day.
7. Hell On Wheelsis back – I was frontiered and I liked it.
Week 8
1. Rewatched Jaws – that shark was a handsome devil, wasn’t he?
2. Picked up a random book (eyes closed) from the new release section of the library.
3. Was it weird the random book ended up being Stephen King’s Finders Keepers?
4. Tried again to learn how to juggle.
5. Remembered why I don’t juggle – kept ice on my cheek.
6. Sang Shout! by Tears for Fears at the top of my lungs (received odd looks).
7. My hair is edging toward the Mary Tyler Moore look, unless I’m planning on wearing a hat and tossing it in the air – I need to think about getting a haircut.
Week 9
1. Kept writing that book.
2. Tried to accept the idea of Ben Affleck as Batman – isn’t doing the impossible good for the soul?
3. Wrote down 5 things that make my life tough…tried to eliminate or mitigate their effects.
4. What would I do for those Klondike ice cream cones on sale? Don’t ask, don’t mmmm, ice cream.
5. Tried to go cold turkey to stop binge-watching Haven…mmmm, stuffing and gravy and biscuits.
6. Wrote about Haven, sadly it didn’t work it out of my system.
7. Rewatched Clueless – wow, Paul Rudd is now Ant-Man, 20 years can really be harsh. Whatever.
Week 10
1. Little brown bird landed on my shoulder as I was walking, then flew off (and no poop) – briefly like Snow White.
2. Thought about going to a movie; watched one at home instead, cheaper and just love the staff.
3. Dreamed about sleeping in.
4. Noticed that it’s my 2 year Blogiversary/Blogaversary/Blog Birthday on WordPress, since I’m having company for the weekend – invite everyone to the party early!
5.Pack up a box of stuff and give it away.
6. Trying to accept that some people will never change…and would I trust them again, even if they magically did?
7. Deep breathing. Note to self, don’t do this while calling people.
Thank you for dropping by to celebrate with me – you realize, of course, all of the above involved chocolate, right?
Funny how your blog Birthday brings me the joy. You’re a bright, breezy beautiful person Donna and I owe you thanks for keeping me smiling. Enjoy the celebration and do make sure you eat plenty of that salad food.

I’m so glad, David, because you’re dropping by to celebrate with me brings me joy too!
Thank you for the kind words and your generous support. 🙂
Oh you know that ‘salad’ food is always there. 😉
Massive Mega-celebratory-glad-you’re-back-can’t-wait-for-your-next-post-David Hugs!!! 🙂
Thank you kindly! All the different stages of blogging like life, it’s a cool journey.
Thanks for leaving your link and hope this day treats you well. 🙂
Oh thank you so much, Suzie, you’re always so kind and generous! 🙂
Thank you for celebrating my blog birthday with me and amazing post, as always. Thanks for the tie-in! 🙂
Thank you kindly for dropping by, your moving words and your lovely link!!!
As a Rings fan from way back I love this. 🙂
Hope this day treats you well!!! 🙂
I can juggle. I started with little pyramid shaped bean bags and moved up to the more solid balls when I reached a reasonable standard. I recommend this method, as I never had to use an ice pack.
I’m glad the Changes for Happiness are still going well.
Thank you kindly. 🙂
I’ve tried many ways over the years, at some point I’ll just have to admit that juggling and I weren’t meant to be. 😉
Thank you. Hope this day is treating you well. 🙂
Congrats on 2 years of blogging. It’s a big deal to continue on in the blogosphere that long when most bloggers disappear after 2 months! Carry on, my dear. Carry on.
Thank you kindly, Allie, glad you could be here to celebrate with me. 🙂
We should never forget shameless self-promotion and in your defense, I did ask so it’s more like you’re fulfilling a request. 😉
Hope this day treats you well. 🙂
Hey everybody. Here’s one of the reasons Donna is such a Beloved Blogger. She invited me to post a link to my one-year-old (today’s my anniversary too) Baby Blog. So kind and generous of her. So thanks, Donna! I’m celebrating for us both later with a nice healthy chocolate salad (much better than kale)! http://alicewhitmoresblog.com/to-hell-with-kale/
Thank you kindly!!! 🙂
Congrats, we can do cake and celebrate together, oh and of course, er, salad nudge nudge wink wink say no more! 😉
Thanks for sharing a link so people can discover your cool blogginess!!! 🙂
An inspiring recap, Donna. Happy second blogaversary! Ooooh that’s “terrible twos” — you realize this means you’re going to be hell on wheels for the next year!
You realize of course, that now I’m endlessly curious about what happened at Costco…
and for “2. Looked at some old photos, I cried, but remembered to be happy it happened, not that it’s gone.” These are wise words that I will try to heed. And fail. And try again.
😀 Mega hugs my friend.
Thank you kindly, Teagan!!! 🙂
Hope everyone is ready for the Terrible Twos and I’d love to be Hell On Wheels! 😉
Sorry, what happens at Costco stays at Costco. And the first rule of the Costco Club (formerly known as The Price Club), we don’t talk about it. 😉
I think the trying is the most important part (despite what Yoda says).
Hope this day treats you kindly, sweetie and megahugs!!! 🙂
We were all bored and/or inspired in the summer to become bloggers? Interesting. 😉
It is awesome company (yours and mine lol). 🙂
I loved this post of yours, totally crushin’ on it and your blog. 😉
Thanks for dropping by, sharing your link and best wishes. 🙂
Thank you kindly, David. I think your band names are great, my most recent favs were ‘Nopeful’, ‘Florence Henderson and The Machine’ and ‘Aunt Man Cries Uncle’. I didn’t know you had a novel, I bet it’s a great read. Thanks for dropping by from the I’m-sure-overly-made-cree-epy-by-the-likes-of-Stephen-King-Maine. 🙂
Happy blog birthday!!! 🙂 I try not to ever miss an opportunity to plug my blog, so here’s one of my slightly less inappropriate ones, and also one in which I announced my plan to post a blog every day this month. (For me, a Herculean undertaken)
Thank you kindly! It’s important to shamelessly self-promote and it’s more fun to celebrate by having a sort of blog party. Good luck with the posting every day and thanks for leaving the link (it’s weird Rowdy Roddy Piper is gone already, isn’t it?). 🙂
I’m still not over it. Someone posted a tribute video on my Facebook feed yesterday, with bag pipes playing and everything, and I actually got a little choked up, which doesn’t happen very often. Of course, it’s really hard not to get choked up while watching a tribute video with bagpipes playing. It always makes me think of the end of Star Trek 2. KHAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!
Congratulations, Donna. I’ve a bit of catching up to do on recent posts but I know when I do they will be as entertaining as always. Your talent shines. I’d post a link but, right now, how escapes me. :/ Once my brain returns I’ll be back for a longer visit. Enjoy that salad – that’s what I’m doing. 🙂
Thank you kindly. 🙂
I know, I’ve been playing catch-up, my inbox was starting to frighten me…
Just copy and paste the link https://scottishmomus.wordpress.com/ – but you pick which lovely post to share (you have many). 🙂
It’s a good thing I can type and eat ‘salad’ at the same time. 😉
Congrats on your anniversary and thanks for being the one blogger that can always make me laugh. Laughing is good and I don’t do it often enough. Here’s where you can find me as always… ~M
Thank you kindly and thanks for leaving this cool link so others can discover your awesome blog. Hope this week is being good to you so far Michelle. 🙂
Two years of writing quality material is quite an accomplishment. Congratulations Donna, and with two exclamation marks!! Celebrating your blog and the joy it brings to myself and others, I look forward to doing this again next year. :@)
Thank you kindly. I hope we can all get together to celebrate often and with cake! 😉
Thanks for leaving a link so other can find your fantastic blog. 🙂

Thank you kindly, Mark!!! 🙂
Now, I have that song in my head, but that’s ok, it’s got me dancing and singing, er, loudly. 😉
Thanks so much for leaving a link so others may discover the glory of you on your blog. 🙂
Hope this weekend treats you well and you’re welcome here to party anytime! 🙂
OK, I’ll be back. Let’s switch the era to another wayback favorite. Out there on the floor .. It’s Bowie time … Put on your red shoes and dance the blues. Let’s Dance!

Isn’t it always Bowie time? It worked, now I’m singing Bowie songs and dancing (do red high tops count?). 😉

Red high tops certainly do count, Donna. Yes, it’s always Bowie time. They call them the Diamond Dogs …

Thank you for the follow and the likes, I am sitting on a sofa surrounded by 2 cats and a dog, the toddler is asleep and I have the remote control for the TV. This day is going great 🙂 Hope you are having cake to celebrate your two year anniversary

Happy 2nd Blogging Birthday! Next week is my second blogiversary as well. I’m celebrating all week long and am still in need of guest bloggers if anyone is interested. Topic must be blogging/writing/productivity related. Find out more on my blog.
Thank you kindly and Happy Blogiversary!!! A few of us bloggers noted that a number of us started blogging in the summer…heat? Time? Boredom? Feeling creative? Who knows? Just glad we all had such a brilliant idea. 🙂
Thanks for leaving a link to your blog and have some cake before you go. 🙂
Hey, Donna! Just wanted to wish you a happy anniversary! (And yes, a “it’s been hot” will suffice. I’ve been feeling quite sluggish as of late and trying to exercise in the midst of the heat as opposed to the evening or the morning has not been fun.)
Hope you have a lovely day and here’s to another year!
-Daniel
Thank you kindly! Yes, it’s a tad cooler today and I’m enjoying not feeling like a hot, wet blanket is wrapped around me, especially when exercising. 🙂
Thanks for leaving your link so others can find you, Daniel. 🙂
Hope this week treats you well.
Happy 2nd year Bloganniversary you’re a bit ahead of me, I’ve just passed my first year blogging. Thanks for your kind invitation to add my blog link to your comments.

Thank you kindly Shellie!!! 🙂
Elena is awesome, have you found her #MidLifeLuv stuff on Twitter and Facebook too?
Thanks for the kind words and hope this day is treating you well. Cheers, Donna. 🙂
Congratulations Donna and with you on Hell on Wheels.. Anson Mount is someone I would take to a fight anyday… as for the Swede – compellingly evil… enjoy the rest of your day and here’s to the next two to 50 years. hugs
yay!
Thanks and hope this day is good to you! 🙂

Did you have any better luck than I did? 😉
Thank you kindly. 🙂

That got me dancing. Was that originally by the Isley Bros, I guess I could look it up if I stopped dancing long enough. Hey Hey Hey Hey!!! 🙂
do you know I have no idea; I assumed it was written for Lulu back in the early 60s
I finally looked it up, Isley Brothers wrote it in 1959. 🙂
There you go; well done!
🙂
Happy Blogging Anniversary and here’s to many more. You have been one busy woman, and I love Hell on Wheels too. 🙂
Thank you kindly. 🙂
They keep saying they’re cancelling it, but it keeps coming back and so do I (and you and many others). 🙂
Congratulations and thank you for your fun posts 😀
Thank you kindly! 🙂
Happy blog birthday!!! 🙂 I try not to ever miss an opportunity to plug my blog, so here’s one of my slightly less inappropriate ones, and also one in which I announced my plan to post a blog every day this month. (For me, a Herculean undertaken)
https://domingosaurusrex.wordpress.com/2015/08/02/another-saturday-night-and-i-aint-got-nobody/
Thank you kindly! It’s important to shamelessly self-promote and it’s more fun to celebrate by having a sort of blog party. Good luck with the posting every day and thanks for leaving the link (it’s weird Rowdy Roddy Piper is gone already, isn’t it?). 🙂
I’m still not over it. Someone posted a tribute video on my Facebook feed yesterday, with bag pipes playing and everything, and I actually got a little choked up, which doesn’t happen very often. Of course, it’s really hard not to get choked up while watching a tribute video with bagpipes playing. It always makes me think of the end of Star Trek 2. KHAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!
Awww, yes, Star Trek 2…The needs of the many.
Congratulations we love your blog! G-uno
Thank you kindly! 🙂
Our pleasure! G-uno

Congratulations, Donna. I’ve a bit of catching up to do on recent posts but I know when I do they will be as entertaining as always. Your talent shines.

Just copy and paste the link https://scottishmomus.wordpress.com/ – but you pick which lovely post to share (you have many). 🙂
It’s a good thing I can type and eat ‘salad’ at the same time. 😉
Thanks, Donna. 🙂 My brain’s buzzed. This might explain it.
https://scottishmomus.wordpress.com/2015/08/06/time-lapse/
We all have those moments…luckily I can’t remember them all. lol 😉
Congrats! Let’s celebrate by sharing a piece of “salad” 🙂 “Salad” is my greatest and best weakness. You do a great job here Donna!
Thank you kindly. 🙂
Do you prefer dark ‘salad’ or lighter, I like pretty much all kinds. lol 😉
Me too! I would love to try death by “salad” it sounds deadly delicious 😀
Mmmmm, death by ‘salad’, sorry, I’m drooling. 😉
lol More “salad” to the people \o/
Viva la salad. 😉
Wow!!!!! Two years!!! That’s so cool, congratulations! 🙂
Thank you. It’s hard to believe. 🙂
Congratulations! 🙂
hank you kindly! 🙂
You’re welcome! Have a great weekend. 🙂
Thank you so much and you as well. 🙂

Thank you so much Ian, not only for the kind words and the reblog, but for being so supportive during my time here on WordPress. You’re always so lovely, understanding, and generous. 🙂
Great people deserve their great words to be spread across the world I just provide the way. Have a great weekend and don’t it too much anniversary cake 🎂
Thank you and you as well Ian. Wait, define too much cake… 😉
Is it chocolate cake ? If so too much is wait that girl on Just William said – remember the name ? Then you have your answer? Here is a slice while you work it out … Ummm 🍰
Of course it’s chocolate…another slice will help me think better. 😉
Congratulations on your anniversary! I love your lists …. laughed out loud at not practicing deep breathing on the phone 😀
Thank you kindly. 🙂
Yes, it’s important to remind myself, multitasking can lead to troubles. 😉
Happy BloggyVersary, dear Donna! I’ll do the wayback classic shake it up baby, twist and shout for you, my good friend. 😮 Thanks for the improved-you catchup. You’re going great this summer, you know.
And since you asked us to bring a little something to the party, here’s a link that’ll allow fellow guests a moment or two in the rare are of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains with me. http://markbialczak.com/2015/08/05/everything-appears-to-be-on-the-up-at-rocky-mountain-national-parks-alpine-ridge-trail/
Thanks for the big bash! <3
Thank you kindly, Mark!!! 🙂
Now, I have that song in my head, but that’s ok, it’s got me dancing and singing, er, loudly. 😉
Thanks so much for leaving a link so others may discover the glory of you on your blog. 🙂
Hope this weekend treats you well and you’re welcome here to party anytime! 🙂
OK, I’ll be back. Let’s switch the era to another wayback favorite. Out there on the floor .. It’s Bowie time … Put on your red shoes and dance the blues. Let’s Dance!
Isn’t it always Bowie time? It worked, now I’m singing Bowie songs and dancing (do red high tops count?). 😉
Red high tops certainly do count, Donna. Yes, it’s always Bowie time. They call them the Diamond Dogs …
Woof!
Congratulations!! Thanks for your support of my blog, following you now! I’m on mobile so can’t link to a post. Have a great weekend!!

Happy anniversary, this is my shameless self promotions

And thank you for the opportunity to share
Thank you kindly and it’s not shameless self-promotion because I invited you, you’re just being polite. 😉
Best part, I found your blog and am now following. Hope this day is being good to you. 🙂
Thank you for the follow and the likes, I am sitting on a sofa surrounded by 2 cats and a dog, the toddler is asleep and I have the remote control for the TV. This day is going great 🙂 Hope you are having cake to celebrate your two year anniversary
That sounds like paradise. 🙂
Of course, chocolate. 🙂
Congratulations on the anniversary and thanks for all the chuckles in your catch-up post! I’d leave a link to a representative post of mine, but, given that I am all over the map with topics, I’ll just leave a general link: https://topofjcsmind.wordpress.com Thanks for the sharing opportunity!
Thank you kindly and thank you for leaving a link so others can find you all over the map with topics (I love that about your blog). 🙂

Thanks for the invite to your birthday party.
Thank you kindly and Happy Blogiversary!!! A few of us bloggers noted that a number of us started blogging in the summer…heat? Time? Boredom? Feeling creative? Who knows? Just glad we all had such a brilliant idea. 🙂
Thanks for leaving a link to your blog and have some cake before you go. 🙂
Congrats. Looks like you’ve worked hard. =)
Thank you kindly. It’s definitely been a labour of love. 🙂
Hey, Donna! Just wanted to wish you a happy anniversary! (And yes, a “it’s been hot” will suffice. I’ve been feeling quite sluggish as of late and trying to exercise in the midst of the heat as opposed to the evening or the morning has not been fun.)
Hope you have a lovely day and here’s to another year!

Thank you kindly! Yes, it’s a tad cooler today and I’m enjoying not feeling like a hot, wet blanket is wrapped around me, especially when exercising. 🙂
Thanks for leaving your link so others can find you, Daniel. 🙂
Hope this week treats you well.
