This isn’t so much a story or anecdote as much as it is a blip with updates and interesting factoids.  CONTINUE READING!  Fascinating stuff going on here.  And we’ll do this with a list.  Because I LOVE lists!  Love love love.

1. GRAVATAR!  Sounds of a dying moose?  No.  It’s actually a made up word that stands for “globally recognized avatar” — hence, Gravatar.  Have you noticed that when Jessi, Amy, Krista and I comment on a post, we have a picture pop up next to our names?  Well that’s not just because we run the site.  You, too, can have a picture when you comment!  Simply go to www.gravatar.com and follow the stupid-simple instructions.  You can pick any picture in the world, and it’s simply associated with your email address.  So anytime you comment here or anywhere else and use that email address, your precious picture will appear.  And yes, it’s free.  And no, you can’t do anything kinky. 
2. Yesterday, we reached a total of 300 comments on BOUCHED!  You people amaze me.  We’ve had a total of 7,500 views to this web site since the end of September.  Jessi and I can’t even believe how amazingly your support continues to grow.  You couldn’t possibly know how much it means to us.
3. Sometimes I get a little schmaltzy when I talk about the Blog Baby.   It’s one of the few truly creative writing opportunities I have anymore.
4. I counted this morning, and the results are a little terrifying.  I officially own twenty-four cardigans.  Thaaaaat’s not healthy.  No more cardigans, Jena!  You already look like a freakin’ librarian, and not in the good way.
5. DONNER vs. DONDER – what’s the correct name of Santa’s seventh reindeer?  After a heated discussion, several varying opinions and one seriously obnoxious roll of the eyes, I’ve done a little research.  But instead of imposing facts on you, I’ve decided to open this up for a vote.  Because that’s the way of the republic.  And BOUCHED is all about democracy.
