Almost 1500

A special blog post on a non-blog-posting day to say: hooray!  I've almost reached 1500 posts on this silly blog!

If you'll recall, I have had a habit of trying to count my blog posts, & I've failed more or less miserably. Probably because I am a little dumb.  Also!  I didn't just take advantage of the fact that the Blogger Corporation (formerly Borders Books) allows me to select a page with one hundred posts on it, &, if I just go back to the first one, I can discover that:

I began on 9/12/06, & on 3/1/07, I had reached post # 100.  (There's no sign that I knew it was my 100th post.)

My 200th post actually came on 8/8/07.  My counting was off, & I celebrated my 200th post on my 204th post.  It gets worse.

My 300th post was on 01/07/08.  My 400th on 5/28/08.

My 500th was on 10/14/08 & I got it right!  I celebrate writing five hundred meaningless things by telling my third grade teacher to suck it.  Like one should.

I hit 600 on 3/25/09 (though I celebrate the day before).  I hit 700 on 9/28/09 - & did the same.  I hit 800 on 2/22/10, & was still celebrating the day before.  I hit 900 on 7/24/10, & you know how I screwed it up.

The 1000th post - which should have been a big deal - was celebrated when it was really the 998th post.  The 1000th post actually happened on 12/31/10 - which would have been something if I had really been paying attention.

Here's the ledger for the last four:

1100 - 5/23/11 (got it wrong)
1200 - 10/17/11 (sigh)
1300 - 3/5/12 (seriously, what is wrong with me)
1400 - 7/26/12 (celebrated on 7/21)

But this time I know I'm right!  This is the one thousand four hundred ninety-sixth post.  I am certain of it.  I know it'll be the superduper 1500th post in just four days!  I'm sure!

Somewhat sure.  But.  What if I've made another mistake?
