I Am Two.

Oops.

And Wow.

Geez. I missed my own blog anniversary. Saturday, on July 26th 2008, while I was busy as a bee and knee-deep working on Chapter 3 of my book project, this blog, My Blog: Turned Two Years Old.

Happy 2nd Birthday to Momma Mia Mea Culpa.

May the next two years be as fun, and as fulfilling, as these last two years.

I want to take this time and say thank you, to every single person/reader that has ever taken the time to read my words, leave a comment, participate in a meme, hand out an award, and to those who have ultimately become my deepest and most cherished friendships. I am truly blessed to be surrounded with such an incredibly talented, funny, brilliant, community of fellow bloggers. I love each and every one of you. I will be forever grateful having been able to share my journey in life with you.

  1. Hey Meleah, Happy 2 years of blogging. Though I haven’t been reading your blog for as long as that, I must say that I’ve enjoyed every moment since I’ve been here. Looking forward to 200 more years of you blogging ๐Ÿ˜€

  2. Well, waddya know, this is actually the first time I ever got to be the first to comment here … LOL!

  4. Rogelio says:

    Congratulations!. Two years may be said fast but that’s really something like 63,115,200 seconds of Momma Mia, Mea Culpa “on the air” – that’s no small feat. You write one of the most enjoyable blogs to read ๐Ÿ˜€

  5. yo momma says:

    that’s my girl!!!!

  6. Dazd says:

    Happy Blogiversary!!!!

    Here’s to many more years of writing and friendship!

  7. Greg says:

    Only bloggers can appreciate the significance of being two. Blogging changes you in way you never expect before you start. Most fade into oblivion after a few months. Congratulations. This is an accomplishment you should be proud of.

  8. Jay says:

    Happy Blogbirthday! I am a mere youngster compared to you! Well done for making it work so well!

  9. Selma says:

    Happy 2nd Birthday to one of the best blogs ever. I cannot begin to tell you how much you have enriched my life. Looking forward to many more years of happy reading. XX00XX

  10. Lee says:

    Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday, Meleah!!! I hope I’m still around to help you celebrate your 20th year someday. By that time, you’ll be a famous writer after your fourth or fifth book is published. I just hope you’ll remember the old fart who was a fan “way back when.”

    Wait! You have to get the first book published first!! Hurry up and get the rest of those chapters written. Your fans are waiting!

    Nick:
    Thank you. I cant believe its been 2 years.

    Valerie:
    You really are usually 1st up in here!
    Ha ha ha Nick beat you. Blame the alarm clock.

    Rog:
    When you break it down like that?
    WOW.

    Mommy:
    Xxoo

    Dazd:
    Damn straight!
    ๐Ÿ™‚

    Greg:
    Why thank you. And how nice to see you around these parts again.
    We have missed you. Like A Lot.

    Jay:
    You are a newbie blogger, but you are doing a great job!

    Selma:
    Aw. Thank you. That means so much to me. You have given more to me than I can begin to express. And isn’t that what this is all about?
    xxoo

    Lee:
    Lets HOPE THATcomes TRUE.
    Thanks for being here and reading this blog.
    xxoo

  12. Wow! Congrats. ๐Ÿ™‚ And you don’t look a day over a year ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Did I ever tell ya than when I come here I’m often singing “Momma Mia” by Abba? LOL It’s a happy song!

    Here’s to many, many more years of blogging! {Raises glass}

  13. Meleah says:

    Drowsey Monkey:
    Thatโ€™s funny.
    Actually the reason I named my blog this title was for these reasons:

    MOMMA:
    When my son was little, he never called me mom, or mommy. He always called me โ€œmommaโ€

    MIA:
    When I was little I called my grandmother Manga (who passed away from althzhiemers) So, since I made up a name for her, she made up a nickname for me, Mia. As I grew into a teenager I was always Missing In Action, so MIA was / sometimes even now is / still applicable.

    MEA CULPA:
    Is Latin for: โ€œmy faultโ€ or โ€œmy own faultโ€. In order to emphasize the message, the adjective โ€œmaximaโ€ may be inserted, resulting in โ€œmea maxima culpa,โ€ which would translate as โ€œmy most [grievous] fault.โ€
    The โ€œmea culpa,โ€ as the Confiteor has come to be known popularly, is not simply a confession of sins, but rather an admission of oneโ€™s flawed nature and the willingness to make amends for it.

    โ€ฆand as you have all READ, I have said, and done many things that get me into situations that are my own damn fault, and this BLOG is an admission of my flawed nature.

    So, there you have it. Now you know.

  16. Two years, yeah for you! I’ve barely been here 2 months.

    *Glass raised* “Here’s to you, Meleah, and to two years of blogging. May there be many more…because we love ya!”

  17. Catscratch says:

    Happy Blog B-day, Darlin!!!

  18. Meleah says:

    Dawn:

    xxoo

    Thank You sweety.

  19. B Dawg says:

    I was really struck by Gregโ€™s statement about the lifespan of the average BLOG. In retrospect, yours is quite an accomplishment. Attesting to the vitality of your writing. Itโ€™s both fresh and edgy. While Iโ€™m not a BLOGGER, I do like to peak on your site fairly often. This is an achievement you can rightfully be proud. The world is full of people that tear down ideas; itโ€™s a lot harder to find people that can create something good. Keep writing Meleah. You have a lot of good friends out there that are interested in your ideas.

  20. Meleah says:

    B-Dawg:

    If it wasnโ€™t for you and Leslie there would be no Momma Mia Mea Culpa at all. Thank you for suggesting I start a blog two years ago. Who knew it would play such an important role and make such a hug impact on my life. I will never be able to thank either one of you enough.

    And your comment?
    Means The world to me.
    xxoo xxoo

  21. Congrats! Your blog is funny, lively, and really honest, so yeah I’ll be sticking around for the many years to come! ๐Ÿ™‚

  22. Momo Fali says:

    No, thank YOU! I’m so lucky to have found you.

  23. Monique says:

    Happy Birthday!

    And don’t even feel bad, I missed every “big” moment on my blog this year.

    I am looking forward to reading all you have to share for the next year ๐Ÿ™‚

  24. BobG says:

    Congratulations. Hope to be reading your blog for the next few years. Just keep being yourself, and keep a confident attitude; you’re a lot better writer than you seem to think.

  25. Random Chick says:

    Happy Anniversary to Momma Mia Mea Culpa…and to you Meleah!!! Keep on blogging!

  26. Oscar says:

    Well isn’t that nice! I’m a newbie here probably a month, but it IS fun. I enjoy your blog. Its in my favorites box. Keep up the fun, the love, the sharing, and the faith! Looking forward to more!

  27. moooooog35 says:

    DO NOT forget! I will try to remind you!

  41. Sweet Treats for Happy Days! Nice! Love this place!!!

  42. Meleah says:

    CMK:
    I get tears in my eyes and chills on my skin when I think about how much I have shared with all of you. And how amazing it is to feel this close I feel to people like YOU without ever meeting them in ‘real life’. I love you back.

    Heather (one shot beyond):
    Thanks dood!

  43. HollyGL says:

    Happy Birthday!!! You’ve developed quite a readership in that time, Meleah, which is a testament to your writing – and the you that shines through it! xoxo

  44. Hey…hey you!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Congratulations on two years of great blogging (even though I’ve only been for a short while…)

  45. Meleah says:

    HollyGL:
    I suppose I have developed ‘readership’ but most importantly, I’ve developed some amazing relationships. Yanno, like with you and my most recent nightmare. You really helped me (offline) in such a way that I cannot begin to express.
    xxoo

    Ricardo B:
    You’re one of us now..I expect to see you around here for the next TWO years.
    Thanks for the well wishes.

  46. hollydolly says:

    yay! oh crap you’re two. are you going to go all terrible on us now? refusing to eat food we offer you and not taking your naps as you ought? you really ought to think about potty training now, too.

  47. Arv says:

    Hi Meleah,

    Congrats mate… I almost missed this ๐Ÿ™‚

    Do keep writing… Have a nice day, Cheers…

  48. Roshan says:

    Happy Blogiversary to you darling Meleah!

I’ve been visiting you for 10-11 months, I guess, and I hope it continues for as long as you write. I hope u continue dazzling us all and making us feel warm & toasty for quite a few more years.

  49. Meleah says:

    HollyDolly:

    Arv:

    Roshan:
    I am glad to hear you value these internet friendships as much as I do. You keep posting so I can keep commenting!
