...but of what, I'm not entirely sure—our ability to talk about ourselves? This is our blog's 200th post. Big, round numbers seem to ask for recognition.
What have we done between posts 1 and 200? We've lived in 3 different apartments, finished 2 degrees (one apiece), had 1 baby, and succeeded in paying zero dollars for every TV we've owned.
These days, I'm in a making mood. I baked bread once a week in August. I've typed away on a novel. I've felted (coasters for a contest) and sewed (a baby-sized Halloween costume and some silk-tie onesies for a friend).
Here's where you come in, faithful readers (and lurkers, too):
Leave a comment on this post, wishing us a happy 200 (or saying whatever else you'd like) and I'll throw your name in the ring* for a handmade present from me. I can't promise that it will be big or amazing, but it WILL be 100% custom-made just for you. Thanks for reading. Celebrate away.
*(I'll draw a random name out of a hat—or something like unto it—on September 15th. Baby girl turns 6 months old that day. One more reason to celebrate.)
this calls for a celebration...

Happy 200th you two! I love your blog and I love your writing. Your are both so interesting and fun. Sounds like a very productive month!
What a beautiful little girl! I love the photos. I can't believe she is 6 months old! That went fast. She is just a doll.
I can't believe you have found all your TV's for free! Very resourceful.
Okay, I'll stop now. I'm hoping I've increased my chances of winning. Love you guys.
Oh, pick me, pick me! I actually had a dream last night that you and I opened up a store. You made your cute little onesies and your Scattergories pillows, and I just knew we were going to be rich! Weird.
Oooh pick me pick me!!!

Congratulations anyway!!
Happy 200! Wow. You have accomplished a lot, and I am majorly impressed by all your project making! We miss you guys. And no fair that I've never seen that cute baby girl! She looks so sweet.
I thought I already commented on this post. I'm glad for your reminder! We would love to come see your geese sometime. What does next week look like for you?
congratulations on 200 posts, and all the life that has happened therein. here's to the next 200!
I was so happy to find your blog! It's nice to keep up with old friends : ) Your daughter is SO cute! Congrats!
Oh! I didn't see this! Count me in, please. And happy 200 to you.
Okay, I am going to be honest here and tell you that I have been trying for about a week now to come up with something really clever and good to put on this post to try and vamp up my chances of winning -- and for some reason I thought that it was the 18th for the cutoff. Turns out it wasn't but here's your poem
200 da da da da da da
Oh baby la da da da da da
You done it ma nu nu nu nu nu
Keep writin wa wa wa wa wa wa
(you have to read this in the right - poetry reading cafe voice..slow and sing songy with a sexy jazz snap going on)
That's it. Love you (I just made that up because I actually haven't been able to come up with anything for a week. Ha. Love you!)
