Highlights of a Hundred

Why hello, all you regular readers. This is the 100th post on CarlyWhite.com. Over the last few weeks I have pondered how to make the 100th post special. In 1995, Seinfeld celebrated their 100th episode by sharing the highlights of the previous 99 episodes. In the following, I will do the same.

Since the first post back in July, a lot has happened. You’ve learned a lot about me. I’ve shared about Craigslist perusings. I narrowly escaped going to jail after celebrating Michael’s Phd completion. I also sold my A4.

I celebrated iday, Max became Maxzilla for Halloween, and I developed the best damn whip cream recipe you’ve ever tastedon Thanksgiving day. (Imani has read this post so many times, she can recite the words in an instant). I cheered for theRaiders with James, and watched OSU beat Cal with papa. And of course, Randell fully bounced back. Most recently I have spent time in Southern California, meeting old family friends and expensive seahorses in person for the first time.

The posts have evolved and improved since July. They get better not because I am doing cooler things or talking about recent issues more prevalent in your mind. They get better because I tell the story more honestly and more readily. And, most importantly, with less and less concern for the repercussions. I also find that the stories are no longer whispering in my ear, they are SHOUTING to my fingers to type them out.

Since July, I have been grateful for the regular readers and the clever commentators. It’s quite satisfying to feel that the blog is about something, rather than nothing.
