Ah, I hope I didn’t come across that it had bothered me, DeuxHirondelles! I laughed out loud when I read your first comment, in fact.

Excuse my awful manners…I tend to get a bit too focused, sometimes. Five years in the blogosphere is well worth celebrating! Congrats!

LOLOL, Amber, I think the blog does an exceptional job at sharing embarrassing tidbits about me in public. See bra story above!

Happy blog-iversary! My daughter will be 5 in 2 1/2 weeks – very close in age to your blog. Which means nothing, but I think it’s funny that if your blog were a person it would be kindergarten-age and share embarrassing tidbits about you in public.

Five years is amazing, and I love you blog. I would love if you would write one day about what keeps you going and what motivates you. I’m just starting out, and I love it now, but I am wondering will I be able to keep up the momentum?

Wow – 5 years! Congratulations. I wonder if I’ll still be blogging when I get to 5 years… come to think of it, I must be well past the half-way point by now…

Oh sure, the one thing I waffled about including is the one thing you call me out on! Not so much the purple bra, but the naming of my employer, which I am usually more coy about.

And as for the bra, well, the day I interviewed and got hired, my predecessor introduced me to the team by telling them about my blog — which was, by the way, a big factor in my getting hired in the first place! Anyway, she told them the URL and my face turned four shades of scarlet as I mentally scanned back and realized one of the posts still sitting on the front page was my bra-shopping exploits at Bra Chic last summer. It was funny watching the DND hits pile up in the referral logs that afternoon! More than they ever needed to know about the new boss.

Me wonders if your employer knows about this blog (I seem to remember you mentioning that they do) and just how much ribbing you’re going to take over the ‘purple bra’ comment. Also, how the Cdn Army ‘establishment’ will feel about it…IME (service brat, sibling who went far up the DND ‘establishment’ ladder, friends and other family in the Forces) they don’t have much of a sense of humour.
