There have been no parties, no play openings, no screenings, no gifting suites, and actually no events <em>of any kind<\/em>! Yes, some restaurants have been open for outside dining, but I\u2019m not going to risk my life to do a restaurant review, even though eateries need the publicity now more than ever.<\/p>\n<p>But, as the saying goes: nothing lasts forever, not even your troubles. So I\u2019m sure there will be plenty of activities in another six months or so. And the situation is forcing me to be even more creative in coming up with topics to keep my readers engaged and entertained.<\/p>\n<p>In one of the few instances of me being proud of myself, though, this occasion is one of them, in a few ways. Not only am I thrilled that I\u2019ve gotten to the 2,100st column milestone, but that I kept this whole thing going while staying in the house for so long sort-of amazes even me! My <em>usual<\/em> tales are of my glamorous life, but since it\u2019s on hiatus, (along with my looks!,) I\u2019ve had to work really hard to come up with interesting content a few times a week. And trust me\u2014that\u2019s been far from an easy accomplishment!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_46376\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/fd04a7be69124787bf6c292176682747_18.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-46376\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-46376\" src=\"https:\/\/itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/fd04a7be69124787bf6c292176682747_18-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"This colorful image is supposedly of 2,100 peeps!

I work almost as hard on finding appropriate and interesting images for each tale as I do on on the actual words! Some are my own photos, (like all the ones in my previous column, my Asparagus Stix recipe, for which I took <em>sixty<\/em> pix, all of one green vegetable\u2014trust me, that was work!,) and many, like the ones for today, are the result of hours of image-searching. [Note: This is actually my weakest batch because there\u2019s not much out there for the number 2,100!]<\/p>\n<p>Another interesting thing about today\u2019s article is that it usually takes me about six months to publish each new hundred; <em>this<\/em> time it\u2019s taken <em>double<\/em> that&#8211;almost on entire year!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_46386\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-19-at-9.04.36-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-46386\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-46386\" src=\"https:\/\/itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-19-at-9.04.36-PM-300x144.png\" alt=\"...exactly what this column is about!\" width=\"300\" height=\"144\" srcset=\"https:\/\/itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-19-at-9.04.36-PM-300x144.png 300w, https:\/\/itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Screen-Shot-2020-11-19-at-9.04.36-PM.png 324w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-46386\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8230;exactly what this column is about!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I\u2019m not <em>com<\/em>plaining about any of it, though; I\u2019m just <em>ex<\/em>plaining. I actually look forward to writing these each-hundredth-column columns because I really have to stretch my mind to come up with something different to say about each new milestone. It gets my creative juices flowing.
