Third KERFDay

Cupcake

Three years and counting!!

Every year I totally forget about my blogiversary!! I nearly missed it today. I officially started blogging on August 29, 2007 but I usually just put September 1 in the back of my mind.

First Anniversary

Second Anniversary

I cannot believe three entire years of my life (and food!) are documented on the web. But believe it because it’s true! What started as a fun project has become my job, my life. And I thank each and every one of you for that.

Here was the plan for this morning:

  • 6:26 Alarm clock
  • 7:00 Light breakfast with coffee
  • 7:45 Bike to yoga class
  • 8-9 Yoga
  • 9:30 second light breakfast

Here’s what really happened:

  • 6:26 Alarm clock
  • 6:45 Wake up after 3rd snooze
  • 7 Re-injure glass-cut finger in bed when hitting it on headboard
  • 7:10 Try to poke new blood blister with sanitized needle to relieve painful pressure. Give up.
  • 7:15 Realize ravishing hunger
  • 7:16 Realize yoga departure time is approaching fast and time has been wasted
  • 7:17 Realize coffee sounds reallllly good
  • 7:18 Realize there is not time for coffee, a filling bite to eat AND yoga
  • 7:19 Cancel plans for yoga and start coffee pot
  • 7:20 Get out ingredients for smoothie
  • 7:21 Surrender to husband that we can have pancakes instead

    Happy Blogiversary! Three years is amazing. I love the pancakes. I got biscuit rings for my birthday and haven’t found a reason to use them yet. What a creative way to use them. I might have to try it even though I personally don’t like pancakes. I’ve been meaning to give them another try though. Thanks for the inspiration and I’ll let you know how it turns out.

    My sister got me your 3-pack of Kodiak products for my birthday and I am SO impressed with the pancakes (and everything else too, but those especially!). They taste so fresh and homemade despite having come from a box and being mixed only with water. Still amazes me each time…

    Have you made the brownies or cookies before on the blog? I can’t remember…

      Glad you like ’em! I made the cookies while we were at the beach in July – they were great! I also made the brownies, but I cant’ remember when!?

    Thanks for sharing your food with us for all this time! This is actually right about my first KERFday as a reader….though I can’t say for sure when I started regularly reading…but it was at the beginning of last school year.

    Anywho! Cheers to more oatmeal filled years (and other foods too)!

    Your morning timeline is just too funny – coffee has been the downfall of many a morning workout for me, too. Just can’t say no to that stuff!

    Your morning made me chuckle (except the getting hurt).That is typically how my morning goes, you know NOT AT ALL like I planned. I contemplated pancakes this morning but I was too hungry to wait. Smoothie it was. lol

    Ugh, I hate blood blisters! Though really, who likes them?

    I do aerial dance, and I’ve always been terrified of getting a blood blister from the rope. Ugh, I’ve seen others get some beauts though.

    Yeah….sometimes pancakes happen instead of yoga. Last night, drinking beer with the husband and rocking out to music for three hours happened instead of yoga…

    the very first time I read your blog (+1 year ago…) you said something about the KERF server… I didn’t yet know the acronym and was wondering what kind of server is that?? Never heard of a KERF server! 😉

    I’m sure with the growth and readership for your blog you’ve had to significantly increase the amount of time devoted to your “fans”, but what about posting? Has the time commitment for actually creating content lessened at all? I think it was your second anniversary post that said you spent 10-20 hours a week blogging. How does that compare to now? What do you now find easier? Harder?

      It only gets more and more time consuming – because I WANT to put more time into it. And thankfully now I have more time to use. But as evident during my internship, blogging 3x a day can be done while working 40+ hours a week and more aspects of busy lives. It’s just a bit more stressful squeezing it in and there wasn’t extra time for improvements.
