I’m 200! (In Posts) 231, In Dog Years.
Wow, I can really rattle on, can’t I?
200 posts worth of rattling to be exact.
This day just kind of crept up on me, and as usual I scrambled to come up with a clever way to mark this momentous occasion…
Should I give a recap of each and every post through a series of interpretive dances?
Should I list 200 of my favorite shades of blue for your reading pleasure?
Should I eat 200 marshmallows on video I could later upload to YouTube?
Should I write a 200 line folk song about my brief blog odyssey, entitled “The Blodyssey of Bear”?
Oh, the possibilities.
In the end I took the easy way out.
I opted for my first ever giveaway.
Please, folks, try to contain yourselves.
To celebrate (besides eating myself in to a cake induced coma later this evening) I will be giving away two items to two lucky readers.
Exhibit A: A new paperback copy of “Where The Wild Things Are” by Maurice Sendak.
Item 2: A United States Zombie Hunting Permit bumper sticker issued by me and ready to affix on your zombie killing vehicle of choice.
The rules are simple (at least in my mind).
Leave a comment on this post and you’ll be entered for the book drawing. Then in one week I’ll chose a winner at random.
Leave a second comment stating why you need a Zombie Hunting Permit and in a week the Bear family and I will choose our favorite answer. That person will then be able to hunt zombies at their leisure. (Weapon and ammo not included.)
In conclusion I’d like to thank you, all of you, for reading and commenting. It’s the comments that keep me coming back like a demented comment junkie, yearning for my next fix. I might need to get it under control lest the family stage an intervention. Till that fateful day, keep coming back, feed my addiction and comment your butts off.
And of course enter the contest, which is my tiny thank you for all that you do.
Take it, I said. It would be rude not to.




































Congrats on on your 200th!
Put me down for “Where the Wild Things Are”.

OOOOOH OOOOH Where the Wild Things Are! Please sign me up for this gift - how else will I be able to find the Wild Things if I don’t enter?
Ohhhh, I totally need a Zombie Hunting Permit! Here’s the short (and real) reason….my husband has one on his truck and I don’t! I can’t let him have all the fun now can I?
Well congratulations on the 200th! I’m at 30 posts in 50 days myself.
