I have read over 200 books. I have lost over 200 lbs. (That is if you count the 30-50 lbs I have repeatedly lost and regained over the last ten years). I have walked my dog over 200 times. I have driven over 200 miles in one weekend. I have spent over $200 on my hair. I have traveled over 200 miles away on vacation. I have spent more than $200 for life saving treatments for both my dog and cat. I have cooked over 200 dinners and packed over 200 lunches to work.
Guess what else I’ve done 200 times, soon to over 200 times…. Posted to this blog!!!! Yay this is my 200th post. Thank you, thank you (bowing and accepting your applause).
I cannot believe that this is my 200th post. I almost missed overlooked this milestone. What makes it more awesome is that this month also marks my 2 year blogaversary. For 2 years and 200 posts I have been trying new things, making better choices, avoiding joy thieves, making new bloggie friends, attending blog conferences, practicing an attitude gratitude, setting goals, and in all ways Chasing Joy. And I am honored to do it with all of you.
Special thanks to Joy Chasers Lynette, Marcia, Biba, Shanita, my mom, and anyone else who has been Chasing Joy with me since the beginning. Special thanks to bloggie friends from parenting by dummies and mom’s in boyland for teaching me about blogging without knowing you were teaching me about blogging. Thank you all for every comment, tweet, stumble, and share on Facebook.
I’m definitely looking forward to Chasing Joy with you for at least 200 more posts. Quick, now hurry up and give me some ideas of topics for the next 200 posts 🙂

Congratulations on having doubled plus that 200 post mark!
You've inspired a new goal for this year: make sure that my blog has 200 posts this year. In 2009, I had 332 posts. More recent years has found me between 141-196 posts a year.
Thanks for re-posting this milestone event.

Congratulations! I laughed so hard at the 200lbs equals the 30-50 you keep losing and gaining! Maybe we can chase the joy of losing those pounds permanently together!
