Bouncing Back

Thank you to everyone that left such kind comments, sent emails, or simply had me in your thoughts during these difficult past couple of days. It really means a lot to me and helped to lift my spirits. I'm back home now and getting back into the swing of things. Time for happier thoughts.

It's coming up on my blogiversary. It was February 12, 2007 when I typed up my very first blog post. Considering I've never been very good at keeping any sort of journal either online or off before, I consider a year's worth of entries to be quite an achievement. I think I ought to celebrate in some small way.

Given that this is a spanking blog, I thought perhaps a blogiversary spanking much like a birthday spanking would be fitting. But since it's only been one year, that would mean only one swat or at most two (with the extra one to grow on). That's not much of a spanking, is it.

So then I thought perhaps one spank for each entry. With the publishing of this post, that would be 182 smacks. Ouch! Or maybe one for every photo and graphic posted but that would mean over 570 spanks. Double ouch! And I don't even want to think of what the tally might be if I considered getting one spank for every time the word "spank" is found in this blog. I might not sit down until my next blogiversary at that rate. Maybe I ought to plan on just baking a cake ... and getting spanked with the spoon?

Prefectdt just provided an alternate idea for determining the number of blogiversary swats I get. He suggested one swat for each comment I receive until February 12th. I think that's a great idea. Hopefully the tally will reach enough to result in a hot bottom. With the 4 comments Prefectdt just left me, plus one from princess dani, I'm off to a light pink start.
