I can’t believe I’ve had this blog for five years!? Seems like only yesterday I was unwrapping 642 Things to Write About and flipping through its crisp, empty pages. Now the book is more than half done and beat up AF.
Thank you to all who have been accompanying me on this journey. It’s been a lot of fun writing these prompts. I hope it doesn’t take another five years to finish, but who knows what life’s going to throw at me? (Hopefully some cupcakes that look like the above pic!)

I have a poor memory so I don’t remember elementary through high school birthdays. Maybe going out with all the women in my family for my 21st? Having shared birthday celebrations with my dad and youngest brother was always fun when I still lived in Rochester. Or maybe seeing Jimmy Fallon live for my 25th!
