You are just awesome. I’m impressed. Seriously. To decide something that big and then follow through speaks great big volumes about the kind of determined woman you are. You rock!
Yes!!!! You did it!! Awesome!!!
Congratulations, Sandy, I knew right from the start you would!!!
But so did I!!! Woohoo!, I’m proud of myself too!!
I like the badge, I would be so proud to use it, can I?
Congratulations! I had to admit that I chickened out and did not sign up. I posted almost every day this year. The few exceptions that I could not avoid was when my son was hospitalized for 4 days. Great job and Happy New Year!
Congrats! You did an amazing job of it too. I have enjoyed stopping by here. I wish you great blogging in the New Year, at least once you have had a nice vacation from it. I do know that you will be back. It is addictive. I can never stay away for too long.
Woo!!! WooT!! That is an awesome achievement. I myself screwed it up completely by moving to Anchorage and not blogging about it for a couple months…I blame the endless days. Life is weird when it never gets dark out.
By the way…I was wandering backwards through your blog, catching up on stuph…and clicked links til I was at the Life Hammer site.
At the bottom of which (bitchin’ music they play on that site, by the way) it said click here to sign up for quarterly newsletter.
Quarterly newsletter for the Life Hammer? Is that a quarterly full of cheerful happy stories of those that went for the deluxe model and are thus full of joy and good cheer and breath because they lived to tell about how their Life Hammer saved them when their car broke through the ice/caught on fire/rolled onto a huge fire ant colony?
Or is it darker — stories culled from newspapers across the country, of needless tragic deaths of those who didn’t buy the Life Hammer. Who callously thought “it will never happen to me.” Who could be clutching (sob) their grandchildren to their chests right now…
if only…if only they had gotten the Life Hammer.
(Oops. Got a little carried away there. I am going to lift this and use it for a backup posting for when I got nothing to say. I will give you full credit as link starter!)
HAhahaha! I love this ;–)
I’m glad you survived because I know it got rocky there for a while. Congratulations … and I forgive you for dragging me into this Blog 365 craziness. It wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought it might be.
I have my Blog 365 closure post set for tomorrow because I did the 2008 review meme today instead (hmmm …I see my ’sticky’ post is showing up in Comment Luv) … but perhaps I could have reversed them? Oh well … such is life. My New Years Wishes are at Sacred Ruminations.
Hugs and blessings,
Whoot, you made it!!!! I could barely squeak through November.
Happy New year to you and the rest of the “sodes” family, Sandy. May your 2009 be filled with health, happiness and prosperity (and all the other good stuff).
Congrats on surviving BLog 365 — and being chosen as a Top 50 blog by MomDot. I saw you on that and thought “Good for her!” Yay for you! Enjoy your time off!
I’m sure you are still recovering from the 365, hopefully with wine and chocolate or other yummy things, but you are missed. Just thought you should know.
Hope all is well where you are. It’s been a while since I’ve popped over here. You know why I’ve been “absent” though. Thinking of you and your adorable family always though. Thanks so much for all your words of encouragement and your helpful insight into living with a baby in the NICU.
She’s now in the Level 2 Nursery and hopefully we can take her home soon! It’s been 2 months already. I’M ready to go home. *sigh*

God knows I would NEVER attempt such a feat…365 of anything in a row would make me spontaneously combust.
But congrats and are you doing it again in ‘09???
