Yep, that's right. Welcome to the 200^th post of CofaCMG.

This simple Saturday post is a humble thank you to all of you, my readers, who suffer through the crap in my brain that makes it to the Blogger page each and every day. Before I discovered blogs (thanks, Vonda) and what they can do for us writers, I would occasionally send out inane e-mails to family and close friends. These e-mails would contain factoids, my thoughts on current events, my love of everything Berkeley Breathed, or whatever floated my fancy that morning. These people suffered through my randomly-sent thoughts, silently allowing me to get my thoughts out into the open. And then? I fell in love with the blogging format, the idea that I could shoot out a couple hundred words at a time, publish myself on the World Wide Web, without permission from an agent or book publisher, free from purchasing a domain-name or paying for server space. I could do this on my own and if someone read me other than the husband and parents? Well, bonus - party!

Thanks, guys, for making the past almost-eight months a fun ride. Here's to many more thoughts, words, posts, and months to come!
