TWELVE TWELVE TWELVE

12.
my number.

don't ask me why, for i have no clue.
it has just always clicked for me for some reason.

nope, it's not my bday.
or the birth of my kids.
or the day i got married.

nope, i never played it & won in the lottery 
(maybe cuz i very rarely ever play).

and nope, i don't have 12 pairs of favorite shoes or 
12 wonderful things i can't live without.

but i had to post this post at 12-12-12 at 12:12am.

just because.

which brings me to this,
i wonder what the 12 day christmas song is really about,
and i guess i could ask my ole know-it-all buddy, 
mr. google, but he's probably asleep at this hour...or not.

anyway,
let's check out this song.

really?!?!


think i'll try my own version,
wanna hear?

goodie!
so now (mostly) ladies and a gentleman here and there (maybe),
may i present to you,

phftttttttt.
(me blowing in my tuner horn thingie that vocalists happen to have in their pocket).

ahem.

my 1st ever comment copied and pasted for you:

I love your blog soo much it's soo cute!!! Keep adding fresh stuff becqause I'll be back for more!!! Love It Soooo Much (ADORABLE)
sigh!
that's my teenage daughter's comment.
she's hardly been back to the blog after the 1st few weeks.
(i think that's hilarious, since after all, she sees what i do in real life and has to put up with me daily).

she wrote that comment when i started my blog to make me look not so much like a loser with only 5 people a day (at the most) reading my posts and 3 of the 5 readers was me. 
i thought that was really sweet :)

the mini heart attacks that followed whenever i got a real unrelated/unknown friend subscriber were true times of joy.
(and it's not over yet-hopefully)
:)
then blogging got a little tricky.so i committed to, at least during the holidays, to do this:did it say i make 3 posts a week?


like i said, i demand a refund.
yeah.
i got the blogger disease.
the one where i can't stop my brain from thinking of what i wanna post next.
aaaaaand,
i have plenty bad hair days cuz i'd rather read your blog posts than fix my hair.

yup.
true story.
(which reminds me, i soooo need a haircut!)
definitely.
but this? 
THIS is what makes blogging so fantastic!

meeting friends like 
1. michelle of this and this, who practically comments on every single post i make since almost the beginning of my blog and has gotten to know me a little more on a personal level.
2. heather, who gave my first ever guest post and was nothing but funny and sweet on every level. she gave a newbie blogger like me a chance i'll never forget.
3. amberly, who wrote about how i inspired her, was the very 1st one i know who grabbed my blog button, and she still makes printables for almost every single post even after just having a baby!
4. christine, who reads every single link on her link parties and comments each and every time. man, that takes some major dedication and kindness.
5. and totally, of course, all of YOU who make my days shine with the sweet comments and inspiration you show to us all. i couldn't be in a happier place.

blogging definitely changed me.




those times when someone features me? 
or tells me i got the most viewed link?
yeah, that calls for a happy dance.
well, i'm always up for a challenge.

and finally,
i spared you another pic of my silly cartoon self with bad hair.
i couldn't stand to see me anymore-sheesh! what a ham.

so anyway,
i figured out who my true love is,
aside my hubby of course, 
who by the way, also doesn't read my blog, 
LOL

my true love is my blog.
and YOU.

happy holidays.

  2. Oh, that's so sweet! You made me tear up! I'm so happy to get to know you and be your friend! Plus, I told my husband how cathartic it was that you would've threatened those boys with bloody dressings! I think the school nurses know a lot more than they let on! Best Wishes on your blog, it's been so fun to see all that you've done! Blogging sure is a learning experience, isn't it! And a blessing, too!

  6. Sweet post. I almost didn't comment. It would have been perfect symmetry to have 12 comments. Now I've gone and ruined it...

    1. oh Caitlyn! you know what you did? you started the 36 comment chain. cuz 12 + 12 + 12 = 36! i was gonna do 12 x 12 x 12 but that equals 1728. i figure that was pushing it, seeing that i don't have a kitchen aid mixer or ipad to giveaway. so i'll shoot for 36 (which is STILL pushing it but whatev). here, i'll start...

  8. This is adorable, but I don't want to think about how many hours you put into all those cute images. I'm betting you'll get to do more happy leapin' dances next week as this post gets featured repeatedly.
