So then…I find out that on your blog’s 1st birthday, custom dictates you’re supposed to GIVE gifts – instead of RECEIVE gifts!
WTF?
That’s crazy! But — always one to succumb to peer pressure (yes, I’m talkin’ to you, fanny packs, scrunchies, scarves for no reason, Zumba, and tequila shots!)…
I decide that I, too, will give away gifts to mark my first year anniversary of the So Then Stories blog! So I’m giving away 12 gifts, totaling $400 in GIFT CARDS! Woot! Woot!
BUT FIRST…let’s briefly recap the highlights of the first year:
I LOVE writing quick funny true stories about embarrassing kids, vexing spouses, wacky co-workers, and the ever-perplexing public – and ESPECIALLY love revealing my own hilarious humiliations and bodacious blunders.
I LIVE for your comments! I’m especially giddy when you’ve written things like “I’m crying with laughter” – “hilarious!” – “you make me laugh daily” – “I love your blog!” – “I laughed so hard, I just spit YooHoo all over my keyboard!”
I LEARN from the most amazing writers online and in Facebook blogger groups. It’s the most supportive, helpful, generous, laugh-out-loud funny community ever! We may not be friends IRL, but we’re definitely friends in the Blogosphere – I would totally hold your hair back while you puke up those tequila shots.
I LAUGH every.single.day! Your Comments totally crack me up! At the end of each story I post, I ask readers to share similar funny experiences – and you have done so in SPECTACULAR fashion! One day, I hope to compile my most popular stories in a book — and I hope you’ll let me share your funniest comments too. They’re hilarious!
I LEAP onto computer screens and phones with my hopefully entertaining stories – and within 1 year, I’m proud to say my little blog now averages over 34,000 page views per month, over 11,000 unique monthly visitors, 1190 Twitter followers, and 1178 Facebook followers. I even won a HUMOR AWARD (VOTY 2013) this summer in Chicago at the BlogHer conference attended by 5,000 bloggers! I’ve posted 110 true stories on the blog which has had 65,691 unique visitors and 239,026 page views so far. Lots of blogs have higher readership than mine, of course — but I’m proud of my stats in the first year and hope to grow even more!
I LAUNCH a new program today in case anyone would like to advertise on my site! (I hear you should “monetize” your blog – and I keep pressing the “$” key on my computer but NO MONEY IS SHOOTING OUT! WHERE IS THE MONEY?) So someone suggested I offer ad space to companies, other bloggers, Etsy shops, and of course, German Dungeon Porn producers. So click on the link below for a quick and easy way to upload your ad so you can reach my super cool readers (and I can make a few buckaroos!)
MY BIRTHDAY GIFT TO YOU
Drum roll, please! To celebrate my One Year Blog Birthday,
I’m giving away $400!!!
One $100 American Express Gift Card
Two $50 Target Gift Cards
Four $25 Amazon Gift Cards
Five $20 Target Gift Cards
That’s 12 Gifts for the First 12 Months of My Blog!
I hope you’re one of the 12 Lucky Winners!
Simply leave a comment on this post before
Friday, November 8, at 2:00 pm EST.
Then my kids Tucker and Chloe will blindly pick 12 random numbers – and those commenters will receive an email asking for your address so we can mail your gift card!
It’s NOT a requirement to subscribe via EMAIL to my So Then Stories website to enter the drawing – but it would make me feel all tingly inside if you did! Please consider it!
YOUR BIRTHDAY GIFT TO ME
For my birthday, I want to DOUBLE my readership!
And YOU can make that happen!
You already know and love So Then Stories.
So please tell 3 pals about it!
Why 3 pals?
Because some of YOU won’t follow through –
since you’re too busy renovating your meth labs or hoarding animals.
And some of your FRIENDS won’t follow through –
since they’re too busy writing prison pen pals and entering drag queen beauty pageants.
SO…
If MOST of you refer So Then Stories to 3 pals –
and MOST of those pals start reading my blog –
I will DOUBLE my readership!
ALL THANKS TO YOU!
TO MAKE IT AS EASY AS POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO REFER ME TO YOUR BUDDIES,
I’VE TAKEN THE LIBERTY OF DRAFTING 3 EMAILS,
EACH TAILORED TO YOUR DISTINCT GROUPS OF FRIENDS –
THAT SHOWCASE SOME OF MY MOST POPULAR POSTS –
SO ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CUT AND PASTE!

Congrats on your first year. Thebloggess linked you one day, and I’ve been coming back ever since. Your stories are so humorous and also sound like a friend telling me a tale over some drinks.
Oh my goodness- Your stories make me feel normal!!! Thanks for the laughs and fun and honesty. :)
Congratulations on 1 whole year of blogging!!! I did not realize you were a newbie!! I love your site and I love your carefully crafted ever so handy announcements for our friends and family. You think of everything!! Lol! xo
Kathy Radigan recently posted..One of Those Days
Happy Blog Birthday! I love your blog, it always makes me laugh.
I LOVE reading your stories! They are so funny. I also love the fact that you are not ashamed to laugh at yourself and that you are a real person.
I
(L)ove your idea of sharing so much, and I
(L)ike the idea of putting some really awesome, smart-assed-hilarious comment here to make you (L)ean towards picking me, but I’ve already (L)earned that your method will preclude any (L)eeway being given just because I’m awesome and (L)end you titles for your posts when yours are (L)ame(er) than the ones I come up with. Particularly where (L)adygardens might be concerned – I feel I earned (L)egendary status for that, but still, in spite of the a(L)iteration, I guess the (L)aws of your format must be complied with. Oh wel(L)!

Oh, and congratulations on one year. You don’t look a day over nine months!
mike recently posted..Has anyone seen my fingertip? It was here a minute ago.
What a great giveaway! I love your blog :)
Well, I got the Email announcing the Birthday gifts and couldn’t resist clicking on the suggested web address. But knowing you, I backed away from the computer, assuming that you would have figured out how to make it blow up in my face.
I am a recent reader. I found your blog in a hospital waiting room, it gave me a smile when things looked dark. :)
PS. The hospital visit turned out to be not as bad as we thought it would.
Congrats on 1 year! Your stories always make me laugh.
So then… my daughter asks “Mommy, why are you spending so much time reading So Then stories?” I just found you and like the compulsive person I am, I have to read your whole year’s worth of posts right now! Love, love, love your blog. Happy anniversary!!
Happy 1st blog birthday!!
I’m not good at leaving comments, but I do love reading your blog and will continue to enjoy it.
The bloggess always connects me to the best blogs! It’s how I found you :)

Happy blog birthday! My actual birthday is tomorrow and a gift card would be amazing! I love reading your so then stories! They always make me laugh and lift my spirits. :)
I am newer to your blog, and this is my first comment, but I am loving it!! Your stories are hilarious and I am working my way through the older posts. Love it!!
I really enjoy this blog, and the updates in my inbox let me pretend that I have friends (who aren’t locked in my basement). I have high hopes (and low expectations) of being picked, but even the heart-wrenching despair will be worth reading your humor. Thanks for a year of fun stories!
Love to laugh and cry with these great stories. Thanks for brightening my day!
Happy Birthday! Enjoy your year.
Happy 1st blog birthday. I love, love reading your blog. Wishing you many more years of success!
Oh Darcy! How you slay me! Does it matter if I subscribe? I just check you multiple times a day to see if you have spoken to me. I am always so excited when you do! If it would help you heck yeah I’m all over that signin up thing! I am relatively new to the whole “following a blog” world but I do know you make me laugh and how much I enjoy reading what you have to say!
Happy Anniversary! and if this becomes too much and you find that you no longer have the desire to continue, please just send me private email messages cause I would be sad. Unless you want my phone number.
So then, the DH decides to turn on the a/c because it’s muggy in our shop. Can’t figure out why the da##ed thing won’t kick on. Even flicks the switch off and on in quick succession (a proven high-tech problem solving skill he picked up watching McGyver). As he was distracted by a rhinestone studded squirrel that wandered by, I glanced at the controls. A/C was on, set at 69 and sitting lifeless. Human power of control kept me from spitting Yoo-Hoo across the room as I realized: Ambient temp in the room? 65 degrees! Yep, he’s all mine, ladies. Step back from the edge.
Happy Blog Birthday! Here’s to many, many, many more funny stories :)
Happy birthday!
1 year, congratulations! I found your blog about 5 months back and loved it so so much that I went through and read all the archives too! Good luck with your goals and I hope I’m a winner!
Happy, Happy First year! What a spectacular achievement. Am thoroughly impressed at your fan base and wish you continued success by the bucketload.

Thank you for sharing your stories, it makes my life seem much more “normal.”

So then . . . I’m reading Darcy Perdu’s 1st anniversary blog. . . I Love . . . I Live . . . I Learn . .wait, why isn’t she friends with these people in Ireland? That makes NO sense. . .back up, re-read, Ohhh, not in Ireland, In Real Life.
(in my defense it is early morning here and I’ve yet to have my caffeine.)
Congratulations Darcy on your first year!!! :) Love reading your stores and love being able to leave comments and receive feedback! I love that your stories are STORIES and not just daily accounts – they’re meaningfully written and thoughtfully so. I’m a newbie blogger too so still developing my site but please do reserve me a spot for advertisement in the future ;) Happy Tuesday! -Iva

Happy,happy blog anniversary. You are hysterically funny, Darcy Perdu and I am happy to be one of your food spitting fans.
P.S. The only thing my name has ever been drawn for in my life was once at work. To be drug tested. So, if you need a pee sample, just let me know.
Happy Birthday!
Happy 1st blogging birthday!
Love your stories, they keep me in stitches!
Just recently found your blog and LOVE it. I check back all the time for new posts.
I love your blog. I can’t believe you’ve had so much success in one year. We all hate you now. You’ve officially made yourself that hot girl at the party we all judge amongst ourselves, then fall all over when you’re with us. I mean, “hi! You look soooo hot! Did you lose weight?”
Darcy, you are a hoot. I swear I think we might be related. Keep up the good work and I will keep having my husband look at me like I am a loon when I laugh about your many adventures. I just got laid off and this site keeps me laughing when I need it most. Thanks!
Happy Blog-a-versary! When I first discovered your blog a couple of months ago via mylifeandkids, and laughed so hard at that day’s entry that I went back and started at the beginning. I have read your ENTIRE blog, and many of the entries more than once. I can always count on you for a mood booster and belly laughs. Thank you!
I love your humor & site!
Free stuff is awesome. Awesome blogs are awesome.
Awesome.
Just found your blog recently – but love, love, love it!! Keep up the good work :D
Just found your blog today. Love it! Would love to win one of the gift cards. Or all of them. ;)
I just started reading and I’m in love:)
Good luck on Year 2! :)
Ok. You are my kind of blogger friend!!! Happy Anniversary!

Happy Birthday and Anniversary!!!!
Your blog brings smiles and laughs to my lunch each day. I also love how it makes me think about events in my life that may be share-worthy.
Thank you!
So I ended here linked from another blog saying you tell funny stories, spice up our days with laughter. However what I find instead is a prize give away, so my instant thought was F**K the stories I want the goodies, so here I am commenting :PP
Now let’s be serious for a little while, I have indeed read your stories and they did make me laugh, causing the people in my table at library staring at me with evil killing sights “Don’t you know laughing is a sin, boy?”
I am hitting your RSS (Read Super Secretly?) to keep up with your good work.
oh BTW do you need a webs…*smacks himself before he starts promoting his work*
Hugs! Jordi
Darcy, I love reading your blog. I was referred by TheBloggess, and it was definitely worth that first click to read your stories! Thanks for sharing!
Congrats on your anniversary! I really hope I win your awesome contest because Christmas is coming up and the money fairy hasn’t dropped by in awhile! =)

Taking a quick break from my meth lab to let you know that “weed in my lady garden” has become my most favorite phrase.
Also, I need gift cards for Christmas. Please pick me twelve times.
I love reading your blog! It reminds me that there are REAL people out there that aren’t plastic & fake and perfect. I also love that your kids are picking the numbers. My kid would probably pick number K or eleventy four thousand and seventeen. Good luck with the number picking.
You’re hilarious! And offering to carry my babies. Awww…so sweet. We’ll talk. :p

Is it lame that I’m hoping if I win I end up with an Amazon card? If I won anything else I’d feel the need to be responsible and purchase useful things. All my Amazon money goes right back into my kindle. I might have a book problem. Maybe. Tiny one.
I always enjoy reading your blog, you are laugh out loud funny! Congratulations!
Hootie hoooo! One full year! That’s a big thing in bloggyland ;D Congrats and can’t wait to see more.

Happy Blog Birthday! You are extremely funny, and also easy to relate to all of your stories. Keep up the great entertainmnent, Darcy!
I love your site and your stories. I think alot of people have similar stories but don’t have the guts to do what you do. Keep ’em laughing :)
Happy Birthday to your blog. I’m a newer reader, but I truly enjoy reading it.
As a teacher, I personally LOVED the big fat juicy lie to get out of a missed homework assignment. I only wish one of my students was that creative…all they give me is a flat, “Nope. Didn’t do it.” Not even a sorry lie. Consider yourself a little bit lucky, if embarrassed, to have a child with creativity in being able to weave a story from nothing. Right?
Someone lied to you about the custom of giving away gifts on a blogiversary…
It’s an awesomre thing you do. Making people laugh is an awesome thing! .;)
Love this blog! I check it every night in the hopes of a new story!
Happy Birthday! I love reading reading your blog. :)
I stumbled upon your site through Pinterest and instead of updating my blog, I’m reading yours! Three stories so far and I want more! So I subscribed and I’m looking forward to more more more! Thank you!

Happy B-day! I’m a new subscriber and love your stories!!
Thanks for the laughs and for making my crazy life seem not soooo crazy :).
I discovered you a while back and I keep popping back in looking for a new post! :-) I worked my way back through the archives (had to ration myself so I wouldn’t run of funny stories to read all in one day!) and it’s neat to see how much more activity on the comments there is now as opposed to your first posts, btw – you’ve elicited some pretty funny stories from your readers by telling your own!
Love your blog and thanks for the much – needed laughter!
Happy Blog-a-versary!!
I don’t get to read every day – but I do love catching up and getting a laugh during the day! Thanks so much for the stories that I sometimes get to reminisce events from my own past.
Outrageously funny! Congrats on your blog birthday!
Wow. How generous of you! Happy birthday!!!
Saw this on pinterest
You make me laugh – out loud, at work! Congratulations!
I really do enjoy your blog, and laugh every time I read of your antics! Happy Bloggy Birthday!
I love your blog! keep up the good work. i have everyone at work reading you as well. Congrats on 12 wonderous months. Jil
I was referred to this blog by another blog I only follow on FB. I now follow you on FB and by email, because you crack me the hell up. The birthday party post was circulated around my office (well, to the moms anyway). Keep up the fun, your posts are a nice break in my day.
I love reading your blog! You are beyond funny! Happy Blog Birthday. :-D
YAY for you! Congrats on your 1st Blogiversary, lady!!

Happy blog birthday! I shared this post with my Facebook and twitter followers!
(I never gave anything away and I’m usually very susceptible to peer pressure!)
I’m new to your blog but it always makes me laugh. Happy Birthday!
Thank you for putting a smile on my face every time I read your blog!
I love your blog! Happy Birthday and keep on writing.
Love your blog – Funny. Just found it couple weeks ago but I keep coming back.
I can’t believe you’ve only been blogging for a year (not that I DON’T believe you; I just CAN’T believe it). I started reading your posts several months ago and I thought you had been doing this for years — it’s all so well done!
I have two daughters and I’m sure they did funny stuff too, but I think I’ve lost my mind (denial perhaps?) because I can’t remember most of it.
Have fun. Happy blog birthday!
I love your stories! The lying about homework was a favorite. Happy Blog Birthday!
Happy first year, and here’s to many more!
Happy blog birthday! Here’s to many more!
Tucker and Chloe, pick me, I’m a funny mommy too! :-)
i love reading ur blog, ur so funny. happy blog anniversary <3
Wow! Love your blog, so funny! I Rock my t shirt all the time!!!
Especially loved –“My Office Outfit is Missing a Little Something”!
I can relate — A few years ago, while wearing a stick-on bra on my front (backless dress), it became unstuck! It was a dressy event, and the AC was on high, so going bra-less wasn’t an option. The bra had slid down almost to my belly button. After a few attempts to re-stick it, in the ladies room, I decided to send a girlfriend out to find a bartender, and ask for duck tape! Low and behold–great fix! So, always pack duct tape–I know it would have worked for your stockings as well. Congrats on your one year blogging anniversary! Keep us laughing!!
Winner winner winner!
See, YOU are a winner and twelve of us will be too! Yay
Hi, just found your blog and love it! Happy anniversary!
Wow, I totally didn’t realize it had been so long since you started this blog! I’ve been reading it ever since the beginning. You’re hilarious and I hope you keep writing for a very, very long time.
Wow, can’t believe you’ve been here a year and I’ve just found you. Congrats on your year!
A new reader here who Love, Love, Loves your stories! The pantyhose debacle was a favorite. Keep in bloggin’!
You are Fantastically funny! Love your stories, you have such a way with words. Thanks for sharing!! =)
Happy Blogday!
Still love your blog, and I haven’t forgotten about the t-shirt picture from Norway (it’s coming, I promise!).
Here’s to another great year! :)
Congratulations on a fantastic year! But now you spoiled it for me! I’ve been gradually perusing your older posts, happy as a clam, assuming I had an endless supply…. Boo Hoo! Only 1 years worth??!!?? Oh the humanity!!! Now what do I do? At least I can look forward to many outrageous stories ahead! You really do have a knack, and your artists do an impeccable job with illustrations, too! Though I’m sure you’re hilarious no matter how long the post, as a busy momma, I appreciate the quick laugh over a 12-page-dissertation-before-the-punchline any day!! Cheers to many more fabulous posts and years to come!!
Happy Blog Birthday!!! I read this post in my car when you first published it but became side tracked and forgot to leave a comment, thankfully I am at the cut off time :P My blog isn’t even 3 months old but it’s fun to do when I’m not being pulled in other directions. Your blog is one of the few I check almost regularly because it’s entertaining and thoughtful — it’s random without being random. Again, Happy Blothday – can we have some shots? I think I need some.. -Iva
I’ve been readin your blog for a while now, and I’m lovin it! Happy anniversary:)
Your blog is pretty awesome. I came from The Bloggess and returned because you write well and funny.
WOOHOO!! Happy Blog Birthday! new reader :)
Congrats on your 1st year :)
Thank you!
