CELEBRATING THE BIG 100!!!
That's right, ladies & germs. Today is the official date, the accomplishment of exactly 100 profile views!!!! AHHHH!!!! Can you believe it!? What a momentous occasion!!! What a joy... It has been SUCH a wild ride.
When I started MandiCrocker just two & half weeks ago I wasn't sure what the response would be. Would I have readers? The energy & support I needed to continue on a daily basis? Were there enough hours in the day to really create what I wanted to?
But I have to say... the response has just been OVERWHELMING. This humble little blog, an egg of hope if you will... has cracked open its shell & spread its' wings to become a beautiful swan-like technological creation. And I couldn't have done it without you. And I thank you for that. Thank YOU.
So please join me in celebration, knowing that about 50-70 of these profile views had nothing to do with me at all double checking my postings or layouts, fixing spelling errors or making sure that darned slideshow was working in the top right hand corner. NO! These views are because of YOU. My dear 100 readers from Ireland to Uganda! Pittsburgh to Pakistan! People I've never met before in my life... 100 strangers. I know this. So thank you from the bottom of my heart. I hope I can continue to make you proud. Thank you for loving me.
And here's to another amazingly successful 2 & 1/2 weeks!!!
Love,
MandiCrocker ;)

Thank ya, Miss Daisy! :)
Hey! I ended up here because you were whacked out enough to follow me on Twitter just a bit ago! Totally UNFAIR! Food porn and I am FAMISHED!
I'll have to come back later to check you out (well, your blog that is) when I have a free moment for enjoyable activities for myself (aka 3 a.m.). Congrats on the 100! Did I become viewer #101? or 1001? :-)
I'm another stranger who is thoroughly enjoying checking out your blog! You just added me on twitter (@leahblonde) and I am excited to read your blog (hopefully in its entirety) and chat with you on le Twitter. Congrats on the 11 (now 101) profile views.
YAY!!! Hope you enjoy! I think you both should duke it out for the 101 spot. See who's REALLY loyal! ;) See you at 3am (I'm certain I'll be up!) Yahooey!
I agree with Emi...Thanks for following me on twitter! I'll try to be a little more interesting!!! In the meantime, you can read about me if ya want to....
I have to run far far away from the cupcake pictures now- they look so good I think I take in calories by osmosis JUST LOOKING AT THEM.....yummy!
PS I forwarded your Penne a la Vodka recipe to my two favorite cooks and hopefully they will concoct it for me soooonnnn...
Hi, Mandi--just discovered you on Twitter--thanks for the "follow." Your post was cute and I can totally relate. I started with Blogger, though, and switched to Wordpress because I could see not only my profile views, but the of visits to my site, which far outnumbered the profile views. Just in a couple of months, they number over 2000. It's pretty cool. And you can do tabbed pages. Visit me at www.hintonrae.wordpress.com to see what I'm talking about--a bit of a pain at first to transfer everything, but it has been SO totally worth it.
