Happy Birthday to My Oh-So-Cheesy Blog!
Wow. I cannot believe it has been a year since I started writing MagsMac’n'Cheese!! And what a crazy year it has been…
In the beginning I promised to talk about Social Media and Social Media only, but as things have progressed, I have shared a much more personal side of my life than I ever really expected. I guess, like all things, blogs are meant to evolve and this happy little experiment definitely has. In a really wonderful way.
Since it has been such a wonderful year, I figured I would take today to give a shout out to my ten bloggiest influences!! Drumroll please….
1. Mom and Ali… you are amazing women and I would not be who I am without you. Thank you for your love and support and for drinking box wine with me. I am truly lucky to have women such as you in my life. You are my best friends (even though Alice is a HUGE dork).
2. Mo-Down… You are my best friend and one of the most important people in my life. You amaze me every day and I don’t know where I would have ended up if you hadn’t adopted me back when I was 21! You always make me laugh and are a force to be reckoned with. Houston would be a boring place without you.
3. My Schipul family… You are the most wonderful (and nutty) group of people a girl could ask to work with. You are all smart and talented and BRILLIANT. Never forget that.
4. Gwendolyn… You are one special lady. You are an inspiration to me daily and I have never met someone with whom I share so similarities. Dare I say it’s uncanny?
5. Dr. Miggy… You’re sexy and smart and sassy. You are doing amazing things in this world and prove that dynamite really does come in small packages. And I love being with you. Especially when we get “drunk” and “critique” people’s outfits at Leon’s.
6. David… This blog would not exist if it wasn’t for you. You are an phenemenal graphic designer and a rad Wordpress wrangler. You are the best friend a girl could ask for and you have made my life a joy. As an aside… You also have the ability to grow a pretty sweet stache which is extremely respectable.
7. Monica again. Because did I mention you always make me laugh?
8. Laura… You are a wonderful person and role model and I look up to you greatly. Thank you for always listening to my long random career stories and for always having a smile when I’m freaking out about something crazy. You’re the best.
9. My clients… you guys rock and I learn something new from you crazies every day. Much love to you!!
10. Courtney… You my dear, are a serious blessing. Thank you for always checking my grammer before I hit “post” and (more importantly) for being from Tomball. It’s nice to have someone in the office who knows where I come from. Go Coogs right?
And lastly (but probably most importantly)… to anyone who has ever visited my cheesy corny of the world, thank you. I truly love you all.

Holy crap, you got a meerkat as a client!?!?
Thanks for the shout out! And, Kelly Russo, yes, I know meerkats can't use computers. You're the best!

That picture personifies the Houston Zoo…. who is really Fayza's client but any excuse to use a Meerkat photo in a blog post is a good excuse right?

Go Coogs dude! Happy 1 year Bday to the cheesiest little blogger I know. I love you and now I am coming to give you a hug…and then pee on you. Not really, but what friend would I be if I didn't gross you out on a daily basis? Not a very good one :]

you've come so far. so proud of you and the brand you've created. and YOU dear, are the one that makes ME laugh. so, you wanna fool around?

HEY! That photo of the Schipul crew is not part of Creative Commons! Credit that shiz!
But really–you’re awesome to work with. This place would fall apart without you and I’m pretty sure the Internet would catch fire if you ever quit blogging. Congrats on a year.

We love you too, Mags! You may want to fix the spelling of grammar under Courtney's entry (the irony – feel free to redact this statement commenting on that fact, too . . .
)
By Sean Stoner on Aug 7, 2009
yeah…. you are pretty good at grossing me out. Love you sister. Tons and tons!!
By magsmac on Aug 7, 2009
I always ALWAYS want to fool around with you. Didn't you know that?!
By magsmac on Aug 7, 2009
Uh-oh. This is the Tomball in me. What's wrong with my grammar?! I am CRACKING up right now
That is total irony.
By magsmac on Aug 7, 2009
BRANDI! I love you. A ton. Times 50.
By magsmac on Aug 7, 2009
Hey! I wanna get in on the fooling around thingy . . .

Also check the grammar under David's entry.

I love the personal side of your blog! Keep it coming!
P.S. Love you too.
By Kathleen on Aug 8, 2009
aw shucks. You know, it's because of you that I make up goofball names for my recipes. You always keep my heart light and my laughter heavy. Happy blog birthday m'dear!

Aw, happy birthday MagsMac 'n' Cheese – the Internet has certainly been much more full of Maggie-ness and queso since your birth these 365 days ago
Do blogs get birthday cupcakes?
Those are some awesome ladies + dudes up there (the meerkat is totally a dude, I decided) – they are lucky to have you as a buddy. Nice to be a Schipulite co-worker peep with you, daily sheets and Edward Bernays all the way. Word.

Dear Little Lady – you will continue to grow into the person God wants you to be. And thank you for putting Ali and I first although I am thinking that my presence is not as important as others.
You and your friends are much loved – even the varmit ones.

You are the best co-worker and friend and gal could ask for Ms. HappyKatie. Thank you for everything and for always helping me grow toward (towards?) my super random-Maggie goals. Muah!!
