Now I know if it isn’t divisible by 5 or 10 people tend not to celebrate it, but fellow readers, Tiaras and Trianon surpassed 6,000 + views sometime last night/this morning! (Depending obviously if you’re on the Continent or stuck in the Americas or blessed enough to be in the South Pacific.)

I decided to celebrate by writing in Imperial purple but the shade didn’t look right…so I’ve also picked a new way to celebrate: changing things up!

In case you haven’t noticed, my Gravatar (and little icon that pops up on the tab in your toolbar when visiting “t&t”) has changed as well. The original Gravatar is truly a depiction of moi in high school–we won’t go into details, but I called the pic “the mousy marchioness”.  The new avatar (which you may or may not recognize from my sidebar and “about” page) seems to more accurately reflect the adult me. Ugly duckling to swan? I can’t say. Less copyright infringement? Definitely. Let’s keep that on the DL.

Anyhow, switching back to a less regal font, I am patting ALL OF YOU on the back for making this possible! (And if you get that silly, silly commercial reference from the title, you win a Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Gift Card!)

Who knew in April I’d have this many views? Yesterday We also superseded 200+ views in a single day! New personal best! Yes I know some of you snort with derision…you can your legions of followers and 45,000,000, views a day. I don’t know who you are, but keep up the good work.

I’m sure you’ve noticed the Alexa icon in my sidebar (scroll down). I’m instigating the same deal Leslie of “The Bucket List Publications” did. If you write me a good review, I promise to do the same for you. I reblogged that post ages ago and the link is below. It’s a good deal and Alexa provides TONS of tidbits you’ll love. (I just noticed it’s half-twelve and I told myself I’d be out of the house by now!) Ooops.

Again, big thanks to you all!
