Last week marked a couple of memorable firsts for Lunablog.net that lead me to wonder, “Am I officially a real, true, bona fide blogger, now?”

Milestone #1 - For the first time, I accidentally wrote a duplicate post. For some reason I’d thought it would take much longer than 8 months to get to the point where I pretty much said exactly the same things I’ve already said (on the topic of homeschool stereotypes in case you are curious).

I thought I’d been meaning to get around to writing about the subject, but forgot that I’d already done it back in December. Sigh. I realized my mistake shortly after spending about an hour on the post and then clicking publish. I quickly “un-published” it, but for some reason it went out on my email subscription list and rss feeds anyway. So, if you got a post that you already remember reading about . . . well, that’s why. And if you didn’t get the post . . . well that just goes to show you the kind of excitement that you miss out on around here by not subscribing!

Milestone #2 - Also for the first time last week, I officially burned dinner while trying to get a blog post out the door. All my hungry family members were surprisingly understanding, and we just went out to Burger King instead. Nonetheless, I imagine I’ll meet a little more resistance next time, especially if it happens on spaghetti night again!

The alignment of these two blogging milestones leads me to believe that I’ve truly come a long way in my blogging career. (Notice I’m not specifying exactly what direction I’ve gone!)

I just wanted to take a minute to thank everyone for hanging around while I figure all this out! I hope that some of the articles and resources here are helpful or entertaining enough for some of you to make the (very) occasional burned dinner or brain blip more than worthwhile.

In Other News: I received an email today from Homeschool E-Store. They are officially changing their name to CurrClick - “Curriculum in a Click” - They sell curriculum downloads from a variety of sources, and, most importantly, they offer new freebies every single week! I love this store, and I especially love being able to download purchases right away. No shipping charges + instant gratification = fun, cheap, and convenient!

To kick off their new name and get the word out about their upgraded website they are offering a 10% account credit on all purchases between now and March 17th. Referrals through their affiliate program will earn 15%. You can click the banner below to find out more - maybe I’ll even earn enough commission to pay for Burger King last week, lol!

(Lest anyone misinterpret, that last comment is totally tongue-in-cheek. It’s entirely my own fault that I burned dinner!)

Enjoy!
