looking back…Â
Thank you, Tamar, for “buying” me in that charity blogger auction back in January.
Thank you, dear readers, for believing my version of the story about the purple bathrobe from college.
Thank you, all those who participated in the Valentine’s Day Emergency Hotline.
Thank you, the Times of London, for mentioning my humble blog.
Thank you, all those who convinced Sophia to “allow” me to blog during our road trip to Portland.
Thank you, Sophia, Danny, and everyone else who made this year’s birthday in March the best birthday I’ve ever had.
Thank you, those who showed us such a great time in San Francisco and Portland.
Thank you, all who came to the support of Sophia during her scary breast cancer surgeries this Spring.
Thank you for not abandoning my blog during the month I obsessed over the music of ABBA.
Thank you for your supporting my mission to save the small pigeon on my patio.
Thank you, for continuing to love me, despite my constant complaining about BlogHer, insulting Portland’s lack of diversity, falling asleep at classical concerts, sending cartoon images of my Penis to female bloggers, turning Irving Berlin into a foul-mouthed sex addict, and being so cheap that I buy ninety-nine cent shoelaces.
Thank you, kind souls, for your advice in helping me plan to achieve my lifelong dream — 50 States, 50 Women. (someday!)
Thank you for your support as I took the big step this Fall and finally started therapy.
Thank you for participating in the Holiday Arts and Crafts Fair and the Blogger Online Christmahanukwanzaakah Concert.
Thank you, everyone, for making me laugh… and think… and sometimes, cry.
Thank you, Wendy, for our fabulous night out in Los Angeles seeing Wicked.
Thank you, Charming but Single, Finn, Brooke, SAJ, OMSH, Deanna, 180/360, Ash, Alissa, Ms. Sizzle, Pam, Schmutzie, V-Grrrl, Ninja Poodles, Heather B, Erin, Crazy Aunt Purl, Jessica, Dagney, Jurgen Nation, Nabbalicious, Whoorl, LVGurl, Psychotoddler, Leese, Pearl, and everyone else I had long personal conversations with this year online.
Thank you to all the wonderful people I met for the first time this year, such as everyone involved with Leahpeah’s Bloggers Live.
Thank you to all of the female bloggers I fell in love with this year (at least in my mind), even if it was only for a day.
Thank you, everyone, for allowing me to follow your lives on your blogs.
Thank you for letting me be your “friend” on Twitter and Facebook.
Thank you for letting me ogle you photos on Flickr and say things to myself like “Holy crap, who would have thought that some dull mommyblogger was so f***ing HOT!”
2007 was a stressful year for me, as it was for many of you. There were illnesses and deaths in our midst. I know of at least five bloggers who got divorced or separated this year. Luckily, joy and happiness is always around the corner. Some of you got married. Some got promotions at work. I even know one blogger who had her first orgasm in seven years! What could be more hopeful than that?!
I hope 2008 is a wonderful year for all of readers of Citizen of the Month, filled with happiness, love, kindness… and of course… many, many orgasms.
Here’s to turning pages…
cheers.
Oh, Neil. thank YOU and here’s to all you wish for in 2008.

Thanks. I hope to get to know more of you better during the new year.
Love, death, lust, divorce, medical dramas, laughter, despair, therapy, and orgasms.

I had my first orgasm of the year this morning, thanks for asking. Happy New Year Neil. I’m coming home to Pacific Palisades in February with Blue and Red. Are you nearby?

The concert you organized, incidentally, was one of the high points of my virtual holiday season. 🙂 Cheers!
You really are the best! Happy happy happy 2008!
Happy two thousand and eights to you. I’m so happy I found you this past year.
Thank you for trying to visit me in my tiny town and making me a minor celebrity. It was the talk of the town for at least a day or two–“famous blogger (with a NY accent) and his lovely wife….”
Your the best. You brighten my day.
I wish you a wonderful year full of adventure and love.
Correction: You’re the best.
Happy New Year to you and yours too. I loved your thank you list, very inspiring Neilochka.
Oh have moved blog by the way
