Make Me Feel Cool
So, its Friday afternoon. You’re either at work and counting down the hours until 5:00 or you’re at home counting down the hours until you can have a glass of wine without the neighbors talking. Or you’re in your dorm room counting down the hours until the closest happy hour starts. Or you’re… nevermind.
Clearly, you could be anywhere right now.
But I bet wherever you are, you’re looking for something to do, right? Well, I have just the thing for you! You should go vote. Really. Voting is fun. Voting is your civic duty. Voting is…well…the cool thing to do.
Here’s the deal. I have been nominated for a Bloggie Award this year (which is just about as nerdy as it sounds…) and now I need more nominations. Don’t worry. This time is different than the last. The Bloggie Awards have been around for ten years and they’ve got this voting thing down to a tee. As far as I know, you only have to vote one time. No other rounds. No multiple voting until your fingers fall off. Just one simple vote.
And then I’ll feel cool and my blog will appear on Oprah and I’ll get a book deal for a couple million dollars and I’ll take you guys all out for pizza and beer. How’s THAT for a bribe?
I’m a high roller.
So, if you’re feeling all generous-like, hop on over to The Weblog Awards website and nominate me. The categories that I’m nominated for are the Most Humorous, Best Writing, and Best Kept Secret (isn’t that one fun???).
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Be sure to check in on Monday when I introduce the first Reader of the Month here!
Happy Friday!

If you win I will be expecting pizza 🙂 Oh and I’m guessing you can’t be a reader of the month if you don’t have a blog. And I did try out that blogging thing for a few weeks…I seem to be much better at reading and commenting on blogs than actually writing them for myself. Oh well. That’s just my job then, commenting 🙂

Not true! I’ll explain on Monday, but NO! You don’t have to have a blog!!
Kayla
I just wanted to let you know that I nominated you 🙂

How exciting! Congratulations!
Jackie
Hey, I nominated you for Best Blog too. I think you should win them all. 🙂
Jenn
You didn’t even have to ask me! Already done and DONE! I did find it a bit annoying that I HAD to list three blogs.
Katie
I know! Why can’t there just be straight voting for something??? Always a catch…
Ashley
I’m voting!! Hope you have a great weekend!!
Allison
I’m voting! Enjoy the snow this weekend!
Kristin
I voted for you too! I found your blog from a comment you made on Pioneer Woman’s months ago, and have been following you ever since (but this is my first comment). I have really been enjoying the accounts of your family written with your blend of humor, sass and sweetness. Thanks for sharing!
Kate
I just wanted to let you know, that I tried REALLY REALLY REALLY hard to vote for you. But no matter what I did it kept telling me I wasn’t doing it right. I might be a little slow sometimes, but this time I DEFINETLY could not figure out what their issue was. I’m going to try again later though. Maybe it’s just having a bad morning, I can understand that.
Jen
I nominated you for the three categories. I also signed up for participating in the voting part later on. I got a kick out of the money prize! 2010 alright!
I had a friend and the hubby to nominate you too… after all I’m always talking about your blog to them…
I also found out that I got nominated for new blog or something… 🙂 That’s exciting… considering I’ve been doing this for two minutes…
Good luck blog buddy- you’ve got this one in the bag!
Andie
I tried voting but it says I have to nominate 2 other blogs but I don’t read any others but yours! 🙁
Katie
Thanks for voting!! Chris put down http://www.marriageconfessions.com/confessions, http://www.marriageconfessions.com/thebean, http://www.marriageconfessions.com/themancave. I’m pretty sure that’s cheating!! 🙂
Katie
Done! Good idea, Chris…I didn’t think to put down all three sections!
Kate
Done! Now if you win you’ll definitely be the coolest blog around. 🙂
Adrienne
I voted – anything for you, Katie!
Corinn
Katie — Praying for Bean, you and Chris!! I hope he comes home safe and sound soon!!!
Tressa

Nikki
I voted for your blog! Unfortunately I only read yours so I quickly googled a couple of others so that I could get my vote in! Good luck!
