Life: Happy birthday Raviolis & Waterworks!

Many moons ago, August 24, 2011 to be exact, I made my first entry to R&W.

Back then I was known as LMF or Little Miss Fun, until I realized how impractical that name was.

I started with zero followers and had no clue how to do this whole blogging thing.

It started as a place for a newly single 23 year old to vent all of her problems.

I'm not sure how, but I quickly gained followers and became part of the blogging world.

Eventually, my pointless ramblings turned into organized lists about different things I value.

I created fun recurring themes like the Jax Seal of Approval and Let's Play a Jax Game.

The point is:  My blog has grown into something I'm real proud of.

...and, of course, I have all of you wonderful readers and followers to thank for that...

Ten thank yous in honor of Raviolis & Waterworks' fourth birthday!

Of course I need to do a fun list in honor of R&W's birthday.
