Sorry, Swifies.
This post is not an anthem to freshmen year and first loves. It IS about the fact that this here lil blog turned 15 today!
Isn't she pretty?
And much like when Tay Tay wrote Fifteen, I feel like I'm in my Fearless Era when I write here. Or at least I try to be.
I mean, does it seem a little silly for a 50 year old woman to keep what is essentially an online diary?
Sure. Maybe. Ok.
But I don't care.
To celebrate this space that I created on a whim back in 2008, I'm currently in a sparkly ball gown, wearing winged eyeliner, and making hand hearts, just like Taylor.
At least I am in my mind!
So, as we've done in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 - 2022, let's take a look back at the past Era... I mean year.

So, there you have it. A look back to remind myself -- and hopefully you -- that I really do love this blog. I am still writing about TV shows when the mood strikes, but this one has a special place in my heart.
