One year ago today I hit "Publish Live" on my very first blog post. 
My how time flies!  This has been one of the most enjoyable hobbies I've ever had.  I love researching and writing these posts.  I am excited every time I see that there are new comments (more on that later).  I love the wonderful, interesting people I've "met" and interacted with.  I get a thrill every time someone submits a question to "Ask Image Interpreters.
It's become the fun outlet I was hoping it would be when I started. 
So thanks for a fantastic first year!


In celebration, I am posting myself my favorite flowers.  Orchids and Peonies.

And these Brian Atwood beauties are winging their way to me as we speak.
(I love theOutnet!)

In reality - they're my reward for losing 20 lbs. But that victory happens to coincide with the first anniversary, so it's a doubly-good reason to buy such delicious shoes!

Now regarding the comments. One email address, most likely a bot, has started spamming the comments. Needless to say, I'm ticked. ("hiss! hiss! fftt!  fftt!") I've not experienced this before so I welcome any advice for how best to deal with it. For now, I'm forced to enable the comment moderator and I apologize for the annoyance factor that adds. 
Please continue to leave comments! 
Hopefully just turning it on for a while will rid me of this rat and life can go back to normal.

Yay!!!! Congrats on one year!!!! Isn't it soo much fun?!? :)

I've been getting some negative anonymous comments and had to enable comment moderator as well. It really is annoying and ruins it for the rest of us :/

Woot woot on one year! And those shoes are killer!

I use Akismet on my blog, but I have to go through the spam by hand because sometimes legit comments get stuck in there.
