what is an appropriate gift for a blog's birthday?

today is my blog's birthday... or would it be its anniversary?

my blog has:
saved me some money on potential therapy... (but not car insurance)
allowed me to meet new people, reconnect with old friends...
become part of my every day life... (it's sad when the first thing that pops into my head after something happens is - "i need to blog about that...")
confused me... is blog a noun or a verb? both?
amused few and probably offended some...

i'm wondering how many times i've used ellipses (...) in posts in the last year... probably too many times to count... much like the la-la-la's in kylie minogue's song, "i just can't get you out of my head..."

blogger hasn't updated my profile where it says the number of posts and words written... back in october, i had written 75 posts - well, now it's 209 (including this one) - and at last count, i had written about 25,000 words... if i had written an average of 333 words per post then and it's continued (which may or may not be accurate), then i've written somewhere in the neighborhood of 70,000 words... and if a picture is worth 1000 words... i've put 34 pictures on my blog... so that's another 34,000 - except for they count as a post, which means i'd have to subtract the 333 words per post... and the math has become too advanced for me at this point... (not really, but it wouldn't be exact - and who cares anyway?)

happy birthday (or anniversary) to my blog...

What do you buy a blog for its birthday?

I remember reading somewhere that Blogger had some problems with the statistics update feature, so they just turned it off.
