Happy 5th Birthday to Asaaan

Reading BL‘s post about her blog’s birthday reminded me that I started this blog in Feb as well.. I went back to check the archives,and what do you know! My very first post was Feb 8th. I only missed the actual date by a week or so.  Its been 5 yrs. WOW. Not an infant or toddler but a kindergartner! 5 yrs is a long time to be churning out posts isnt it?

All these years, I have changed what I write about. Inspired by other bloggers. I did daily outfit posts, did thrifting posts, did a Day in the life of Life(oh I will do another one next week). Current obsession is doing the house.

Most of all,  the wonderful readers here, who leave me encouraging comments, who fight my trolls. Who tell me its in my head that I am fat(so no true, the mirror doesnt lie)

I started telling people I blog and now more than ever, people who know irl read me. Which sometimes leads to me typing something out and then going back deleting it before publishing the post.

I started on Blogger, shifted to wordpress and then on my birthday last year, bought my own domain. I have ads, I have statcounters, I have an admin userid. I delete annoying comments which piss me off. I mark those commenter’s as spam and its gives me tiny thrill not to publish them.(I can never run my own company, my employees will hate me and will secretly plot to kill me)

Anyways, whats a birthday without presents?Leave me a comment about whats your favourite part of Asaaan, seeing the daily outfits, seeing the Monday Moneysavers, or hearing about the kids’ conversations or stuff that happens between NK and I,  or the weightloss/fitness updates(sidenote, I worked out yesterday and walked today). I will send something out to the person who wins the random generator thingy. It will be something thrifted. It might be brand new or it might be vintage. I dont have an idea yet but it will be something you would love. That I am sure of.
