Three years ago today I turned 36 and I started The Queen of All Evil. Now I'm 39, the blog is 3 and I'm still having as much fun as I did the day this bitch opened.

Since then, I've had a baby, lost my beloved dog Buttons and adopted Pudge. We've had some major personal trials but we are still standing. Jacob is still a brilliant student but now he's proving to be a sensitive, caring and responsible young man of 9 and a half. Draco is both a handful and a joy. He's smart and just a little evil. Dean and I were discussing the many similarities and differences in our boys and we found that their personalities are so different. Jacob is like our dog Buttons was. He genuinely likes people, he's friendly and he's loyal. Draco is like our cat Slappy. Draco sees people as things that are there to amuse him. He could give two shits if you like him. He just is. You may think, that's because he's only 2, but Jake was all sweetness and friendship even as a toddler. Draco seems to get a perverse pleasure watching people beg him for a morsel of attention. I'm not saying Draco isn't affectionate, not at all. He is loving and affectionate with me, Dean and Jacob, it's everyone else that he makes crazy with wanting him.

If I haven't said it before I want all of you to know that this blog wouldn't be half as good without you. Without my readers, commenters and contributors this blog would be pointless. I wanted a place that I could speak my mind, that I could hear diverse opinions and that I could learn. I've learned a lot and I wouldn't have if you didn't come here and call me on my shit or tell me that I was right on the money.

So I want to say thanks. Thanks for coming here, thanks for making me think, thanks for making me a better writer and a better person. We all may bicker and argue, things may sometimes get a bit too heated but I wouldn't change a thing. Thanks for letting me call you friend, because I do.

All in all things are pretty damn good now, I just hope the next three years are better, I think we're all due.
