Scholastic Mom Blogger awards and… me?

February 26, 2009 – 12:38 pm

Imagine my surprise when I woke up this morning to discover SNOW covering the ground.  

Which was NOTHING compared to the surprise I felt when I checked my email and learned that my blog was nominated for the Scholastic Parent & Child mom blog awards!

We’re talking falling-out-of-the-chair-directly-onto-the-floor surprise.  It’s true. In fact, I’m typing this from an awkward position on the linoleum (and my arm’s starting to hurt).

First of all, a big fat juicy thank you to whoever nominated me!

It turns out the 5 winning blogs get featured in Parent & Child magazine which is obviously a life-long goal of mine. The bad news is I’m up against blogs like Pioneer Woman and Like Merchant Ships.  I have a feeling their gazillions of screaming and desperately loyal fans might sway the voting just a little.

Still, if you’re so inclined, hop on over and vote. (feel free to scream and get all desperate too).

Because sometimes it’s fun to root for the underdog.

not a fan of underdog?  How about voting for wonder woman?!

vote here

you don’t like wonder woman? (HOW can you not like WONDER WOMAN?)  

Do it for MISS AMERICA!

Still not convinced?

Do it for the squirrel who looks suspiciously like my husband.

Ok, so you’re still not buying.

Will you listen to VIN DIESEL?

For today, I thought we could play a little game where we laugh and marvel at the WEIRD STUFF PEOPLE SEARCH FOR that leads them to my blog (the vin diesel edition):

(I am not making these search queries up. They are REAL and actual searches, typos and all.)
“if you are vin diesel”
Click Here!

“pin in my mouth”
Pin head.

eco friendly way to kill spiders
Um… smash them?

help i have fly at my house
Hello… FLY SWATTER…

how do you make an egg laugh
Tell it a yoke?

funny things your husband says
How about, “I help with house work.” HA HA HA HA HA HA! Good one, honey!

i love gas-x!
ME TOO!!

And finally, the CLASSIC,
if you are vin diesel, yell veri loud

Now for some BUSINESS TYPE ITEMS:
I am (hopefully) going to be moving my site to Wordpress over the weekend, so you may experience some, err, downtime. Also it may look hideously ugly. Just so you know.
Secondly I am indefinitely suspending Make Me Laugh Monday based on the feedback that I’ve received. If you’re one of the people who regularly participates, don’t worry, I’m coming up with some other ways of sending you traffic.
Finally, Happy called again today… I just thought you should know. And no I’m NOT kidding. I had to use my no-nonsense MOM VOICE with him.
Have a great weekend! But not a happy one. Definitely not a happy one.
