How ‘Bout That?
Now, if we can just form a blogger’s union and get these wages up….
I promised myself I wouldn’t go all Sally Field on everyone if I happened to win a segment of Project Blog.
I’m going to try to abide by that promise.
But it’s not going to be easy because it really is an honor and, honestly … I’m pretty excited about it.
Mostly, it feels good because I am a fan of all the other bloggers in the contest. These are people who I read on a regular basis and who, in the short time I’ve known all of them, have provided me with advice, insight, food for thought and a whole bunch of laughs and good times.
Somehow, I think I got the best end of that deal.
So, rather than toot my own horn, I’m just going stand here and quietly enjoy this.
I’m also going to thank everyone involved in the contest — especially Allison Boyer over at BCS Frenzy.
Allison put this contest together and has been herding cats from the beginning. The rest of us have gotten to do all the fun stuff while Allison works her, um … fingers off with all the behind the scenes details.
Make sure to check out all the bloggers and judges. All the people involved in Project Blog are very good writers and each of them has their own unique voice. I guarantee you’ll enjoy every one of them.
Judges:
Allison at BCS Frenzy.
April at Life As a Christian Woman
Beth doesn’t have a blog but she won the Reality on Bravo “Create Your Own Reality Contest,” so you’ll just have to chat with her at Starbucks. (You may want to explain how you know her so you don’t get pepper-sprayed…)
Bloggers extraordinaire:
Kate at Babylune
Jodie at Gossip on Sports
Winnie at Watching the View
Sally at Style Fix
Cynthia at TV of the Absurd
Randi, Brad Pitt Watch
Kara at Colorado Review
I’d also like to thank all of you who read this blog on a regular or irregular basis. I’d like to thank my mom, my high school English teacher, the drive-through lady at Dunkin’ Donuts, all the comics I work with, anyone I’ve ever slept with …
*orchestra music starts playing…..*
Thanks!

It’s contest week here at Get Incensed. Check out the Caption Contest over at Diesel’s Mattress Police site. It was a record week for entries … when you see the Photoshopped picture you’ll understand why ….

Congratulations Mark! Your son is the cutest (and he’s getting big, so I can only say that for another few days). I really appreciated getting to know you in that post.
