Thanks to everyone for reading!

Remember that post about a week ago titled "Goal I'm almost ashamed to admit" that said "I started to write a post with that title, but realized I was too ashamed to admit it." I'll tell you what the goal is now, because I'm about to hit it tonight.

Back in January, I had been hoping to get to 1 million visitors to this blog within one year of starting. But I didn't get there until January 31st, and the anniversary date was January 14th. But then I formed the goal of getting to 2 million within 6 months of getting to 1 million, which would be July 31st. So look at the Site Meter: it should reach 2 million tonight, 3 days early.

Thanks to everyone for reading!

UPDATE: The 2 million mark was hit sometime during dinner last night. I was rude enough to check the Site Meter and refresh a few times to see the zeroes click over. Perhaps half of my dinner companions found this at least somewhat amusing and probably one or two of my companions found it a tad more unpleasant than a moderately awkward pause in a conversation. And I survived to tell the tale.

I guess it's time to hit your paypal, Ann. Let's see... two million times a dime would be... hmm... mind if I borrow one of those junk calculator thingies in your photo below?

Congratulations, Ann. I don't comment as much as the others, but your blog is one of my "must reads."

Ann, I could and have listened to your writing (yes, you heard me correctly!) several times a day, at least, even when it's about/at RLC!

Which is more than I can say for my ex!

Are you part of the New Economy? When is your IPO?

I probably won the prize for being visitor #2,000,000

Ann, that is soooo cooool.
Congratulations!!!

And cool that you could figure out it was you, Goesh. Sorry, there's no prize, except more bloggy readings.

Nick म्हणाले...

*Shakes my head* I suppose congrats are in order... just makes poor little bloggers like me want to vommit though. *Sigh*

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

Stranger: I didn't want to seem to be begging for extra visits to help me meet the goal. I wanted to get to it naturally.
