I’m a FINALIST for Best New Blog in the 2008 Bloggies!
(this is even better than blogger’s choice awards, guys!)
I am taking requests for what you want in return for your vote.
I am shameless.
#1 by Maria on January 23, 2008 - 4:13 PM
I voted for you – and it’s because you deserve it from what I’ve seen – not because you begged. Although the begging did help.
