The blog hasn’t grown much this week. But it certainly has been doing a lot of emotional eating. Due to the fact that I haven’t had as much time to go surfing around on new blogs, our traffic has been way down. Trying to be okay with that- because we do have a LOT of returning visitors (58.49% of you!) and I think that’s more important anyway. You all should also know that I love all of your comments! Please send an e-mail if you are having any trouble commenting, I changed the format of the comment box because some people were having troubles. I also created a Facebook page for the blog (it’s all the rage!) If you have a moment, I’d love for you to come “like” me! PLEASE LIKE ME!
Our Ugly Christmas Sweater party was a success in my book! Everyone showed up, we sang, we danced to some Michael Jackson, and we ate a lot of food while mocking one another’s Ugly Sweaters. It was really nice to see everyone. I always have major anxiety right before a party I’m hosting, like “WHAT IF NO ONE SHOWS UP!? WHAT IF EVERYONE SHOWS UP AND NO ON HAS ANY FUN?! WHAT IF PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT HOW LAME MY PARTY IS?!?!?!?! WAAAHHH!!!” Speaking of lame, my guests can thank me for not making them play pin the nose on Rudolph, as was suggested by a website I was looking at for adult party games. (You’re welcome).
Casey and I have a date today, thanks to my Mom who sent was a gift card to the Olive Garden! I have an undying love for their breadsticks, salad, and black tie mousse cake. Before we go to eat, we’re going to shop for the children we chose off the Salvation Army Christmas tree. I’m really excited to do this. My Mom is so on top of it, she has already shopped for the kids she chose! I love picturing what they look like and how happy they’ll be on Christmas morning. I also love relieving the stress of a parent somewhere out there, who is figuring out how to make Christmas happen for their child.
That’s my time! I’m going to go work on my scheduled post for tomorrow- which is going to be about Autism, and resources around it. Hopefully you’ll all tune back in tomorrow. Thanks again to all of you loyal readers and commenters. You rock!

It sounds like you had a great weekend! 😀 I keep hearing about the ugly Christmas sweater parties. They sound like a blast! I actually saw a woman on the news this week who makes them and sells them for just those occasions. Hilarious.
Enjoy your date night!
Aren't you going to show us YOUR ugly sweater??
Have fun on your shopping and Olive Gardening date! I look forward to tomorrow's post about Autism.
Ditto the pic of the ugly sweater! I wouldn't worry about the growth of your blog too much. I had 50 followers in my first month and have since lost and gained the remaining in the last 11 months. Honestly, I don't know how many I have and I gave up trying to follow EVERY SINGLE BLOG I found. So, tell, little missy blog to stop emotionally eating. We love her. Or him.
I love that first para. It's excellent. And so true. It's OK, really. Just BE! Enjoy Olive Garden. Yum. And I think an ugly sweater party sounds like a blast! How fun! 🙂 Hope you got to enjoy as much as everyone else did.
Still love it that the two of you share this blog – how many couples can do that?! Hope you had a lovely date night. Stopping over from #SOCSunday
