Lifenut is turning three this weekend. I’ve been doing this thing for that long?
I’ve never been so devoted to a hobby. Embroidery, scrapbooking, stamp collecting—all have enjoyed the warmth of my casual devotion for a season or two, then I move on. Sometimes, I feel like moving on. I hate that my ego is forever snarled in something so ultimately unimportant.
Some people who share this hobby approach it like a job or something they are being graded on. I will never, ever look at Lifenut as a job. I am not obligated to write and you are not obligated to read. So I thank whomever is out there, reading. I realize I am not the funniest, nicest, Most Christian, craftiest, emotionally-stirring, profound, friendly person who does this particular hobby. So I have no clue why you come. Unless you are my mom.
Hi, mom.
*certain people will note I made it through an entire post with mentioning the evil “B” word…
Okay, so maybe you didn’t say the “b” word, but that was blogging about blogging if I ever heard it. Next thing you know you’ll be doing a Works-For-Me Wednesday. Oh yes, you will, my friend. 😉 Happy b-word-iversary.
Maybe that’s why your posts are so interesting and compelling. Because you don’t approach them as an obligation. I’m glad you enjoy composing them, because I enjoy reading them.
Lifenut is the best of them all. You are the best, in my opinion.

Happy anniversary! Love the pic. You inspire me, Mopsy. So I know it seems “ultimately unimportant”, but I consider you a friend and I’d never know you otherwise. That’s a pretty warm glow, really, in the harsh reality that is the world today.
Happy B-versary, Mopsy. I just read your “No I” comment on the Teamwork post to my girls. After a quick chuckle I told them if we’re ever in Denver we’ll have to come visit you. So, for what it’s worth, your sharing life via Lifenut has found you virtual friends. Thanks.
I disagree. You always crack me up or make me cry. And I’m not your mother!
Hi, Mopsy’s Mom!
As your Mom, I’m definitely a fan and always enjoy what you write. It melts away the miles between us.
Mopsy, I love to come here and read your take on life, on the day, or just on cupcakes! Keep up the good work.
Happy 3’rd birthday to your blog 🙂
Happy 3rd, Mopsy! I am glad you have stuck this one out!
I love reading….so real and warm. Happy 3rd and keep it up!
Happy 3rd Birthday, Lifenut! This is one of my favorite web destinations. You have helped me see so many things from a fresh perspective, made me laugh, made me cry, and made me think. Thanks for that!
Three already?! Does that mean you made it through the terrible two unscathed? Happy Blogoversary. Ooops, I said it.
I’m glad to call you friend, even if it is via the internet.
Happy Birthday from Ireland!
