I Feel So Honored…

Last month, Binky nominated me for best Canadian blog in some blog contest. She meant well, but apparently nobody other than the handful of people who stumble across me daily know I even exist.

Suffice it to say, I didn’t make it past the nominations round.

But that’s okay, because for the first time in what seems like ever I glowed with pride and was humbled that somebody other than my husband thought I was cool.

I now follow Binky around and pester her every damn day. She’s acquired her very own stalker fan.

Thanks Binky. I love ya. In a non-sexual, completely anonymous, bloggy type of way.

Then Catherine, that’s right, queen of the Bad Mother’s, informed me that she nominated me in another blog contest, Share The Love Blog Awards.

Get this, for the Most Inspirational blog.

Quit laughing.

While I would have liked to be known for my awesome ramblings, my sense of style or my witty comments, Catherine thinks I’m inspiring.

(Take that Mom! How do you like them apples?) Yes, I do know that my mom doesn’t read my blog, but it still feels good to say that.

I’m not going to ask for your vote, but I am going to ask that if you have some time to spare to go visit this page. Peruse some of the wonderful candidates. There are some mighty fine woman writers out there. And I’m pleased as punch to be included in such a group of talented ladies.

And if you happen to find my posts about duct taping kids to a wall, talk of nipple rings and tattoos, sex education and the odd post about how it feels to drag your ass out of bed every damn day with an angel on your back (very similar to a monkey, only heavier, with more feathers), then feel free to toss me a vote.

I don’t know if I would, but I’m sure glad somebody out there finds me inspiring.

    You inspire me RM.

    You make me want to be a better blogger.

    Ok, so that’s a bit over the top, but congrats anyways!

    Serious. Okay, I can do serious. Here goes…

    I’m only sad that someone else nominated you first for most inspirational. But to rectify the situation (and before I go on, am I the only one that giggles when someone says “rectify”? Rectify. Rectum. Hee. See!? I can’t do serious for very long! Anyhoo…) I voted for you for Most Inspirational. I only wish I could do more to make sure you won that damn award. Seriously girl, you inspire me.

    And? You complete me.

    *giggle*

    Duct tape and nipple rings….definitely qualify you for all sorts of recognition! Even if you don’t win, you’ll still be a champion to your loyal readers. :)

  7. Motherkitty Says:

    Yes, you are inspiring. You have given me lots of laughs, lots to think about, lots to cry over, lots of inspirational words of wisdom (from someone so young), and have always made me feel welcome. I’ve appreciated your comments and your baring your emotions when most of us would be shriveled up into a fetal ball on the floor.

    You’ve inspired me to NEVER.EVER get a dog again, and you’ve inspired me to appreciate my kids and grandkids in a special way.

    Thanks, T. You’re too humble. Now, can you get back to normal!

    Just went and voted for you. Love, love, LOVE your blog. Every morning I read it and wish mine was a 10th as good as yours. And inspiring — you bet!!

    Luckily, I have lots of practice voting, what with the 1,623 referenda/overturned referenda on building a new high school that I’ve had to cast my ballot in since I moved to my crappy town three years ago. Armed with that experience, I confidently clicked on the Redneck Mommy line in the Most Inspirational category. Here’s hoping a whole lotta other people were similarly inspired (and how could they not be?)!

    I love ya, too, in that bloggy, anonymous way :)
