It’s a very quiet Christmas Eve for me here in the States. Everyone else has long gone to bed and I’ve finally got the place to myself LOL! I’m sitting happily alone in my living room with a glass of wine, a candle glowing on the coffee table, Christmas lights twinkling, listening to MY favorite music and thinking, which always gets me in trouble!
WordPress has made some serious changes for us as admins of RA. I spent a couple hours browsing around through all the new stuff that they have added and changed. In doing so, I discovered a page that shows a map of the world and highlights every state and country that clicks on RA. It stunned and amazed me at how many places across the world have clicked on RA, looked around, lurked at work, quietly giggled into their pillow in the night over something that was posted or a comment that was made. People all over the world took a moment and stopped in to ogle “The Pretty.” Sometimes they’ve left us some love and sometimes they went about their day. Then, as I browsed through the extensive list of countries {some I’ve never even heard of!} and the numbers behind them…

It occurred to me, as nothing else has, just what a profound testament to Rob this really is! We’re just the little blog that could, ya know? A group of women who had one thing in common when we all came together…Rob!
We aren’t a huge blog like Robsessed. We’re just us! Normal women and housewives, retirees and working class women who adore Rob. So we set about posting these blogs, sharing our love for this man’s incredible, multifaceted talents as an actor…
His gifts as a model…
His talent as a singer…
The fact that he inspires so many of us to write…
And others to read…
He’s inspired us to be artistic, whether it’s in a drawing…
Or in a manip…
Or a banner for a fic or a timeline…
It doesn’t matter if he looks wild and rough…{unf}…
Or if he looks like a clean-cut gentleman…*le sigh!*
No matter who you are or where you live, Rob inspires our dreams…
So, I sit here with my glass of wine, my pretty tree and candlelight, occasionally pausing to see if it is snowing yet, thinking about all these people around the world who may read these words tonight {and yes, Rob too, Always!} Even though it may not be Christmas Eve for you, I would like to hear from you, every one of you. Even if you only type in the country from which you’re reading, please take a moment to let me know you’re there!
And from my house to yours…
Merry Christmas!!!
Much Love to you all,
