Go vote for the best

4 Comments / Daily Dose /

I’m about to do my daily duty and vote for a few of my favorite blogs in the 2007 Weblog Awards. (Yes, you can vote once a day in each category.) This is who I’m voting for, and why.

Best LGBT – Mombian. I like Pam’s House Blend but she wins everything. I adore Susie Bright and wish there was some other more “right” category for her blog, but there isn’t, so I just can’t vote for her in this one. Darn it. I also like Republic of T (and read it every day) but Mombian is the finalist I read every single day – and link to often.

Best Diarist – Dooce. I know, she wins everything – even stuff she maybe shouldn’t. I thought long and hard about this and of all of the finalist, hers is the blog that I look forward to every single day – whether it’s a story about George! or a picture of Chuck or whatever. I still love her blog and until I don’t, or someone comes close to drawing that much of my attention, she gets my vote in this category.

Best Online Community – Duh. BlogHer. I suspect you don’t me to list the reasons. Though I could, if you like.

And in the Best Parenting Blog – hands down Notes From the Trenches. No competition, at all, for my vote. None. Even if she did deceive us with that whole Big Yellow House thing. And she beats her kids and forces them to eat pork chops and do slave labor while she sits around eating chocolate and chatting with other slacker moms on the phone. Yea. I want to be Chris when I grow up. Except all of those boys? Err no, I’ll stick with my six now that I think about it.

Who are you voting for, and why?

101 Things Update

3 Comments / 101 Things, Daily Dose /

What in the heck happened to October? Last time I checked it was somewhere around the 15th. I do believe someone stole a whole two weeks from the month. Which would explain why I have so very little to cross off the list this month.

*Updated* How could I forget one of the most important things on the list was accomplished in October?  The cats. Have been. Spayed.  This does not mean Chris’s stupid cat will stay outside and away from me.  Oh no it does not.  She is under my feet right now trying to contaminate me with her germs – which make my eyes itch.  Bah.

Another book on audio bites the dust, now I need another book on audio and have no idea what to choose.

I’m thinking of scratching coffee with Leona off of the list. Not because I don’t love Leona but because TW has taken my place in that coffee with her thing – as it should be.

TW and I had a mommy weekend for my birthday.

I’ve saved money again, all the better to spend it on Prince J’s birthday gift, eh?

Also cleaned out my bookmarks. My spurls no longer exist and I can’t imagine ever trying to clean out all of my deli.cio.us accounts. I’ve started cleaning out my Evernote at the same time as my bookmarks and that’s working really well for me.

I believe Jenn is coming to Florida next month and I plan on taking a full day off of work (hi Lisa!) and spending a day with her. I also plan on getting pictures sorted and stuff hung on the walls (which will make TW nervous and make me laugh.) Hmmm what else will I do in November? Probably not much – and I’m less than a year away from my deadline, argh!

Hmmmm, let me think….

I was going to log off without blogging over here today. Nothing really caught my eye or lured me away from a very, very full day of work. Them’s the breaks and it’s not like I’m participating in NaBloPoMo or even if I was, it’s not November. So yea. I was going to blow off blogging. No big deal, I do it often. But then, 30 items away from closing my feedreader for the night – what do I see? The perfect topic for me to blog about.

Could Your Partner Do Your Job?

Perfect, right? So perfect. But damn. I don’t think I can actually blog it without ticking someone off. While some of you might think that I never worry about that, I do. There are a million things I don’t blog for that very reason. Since I can’t blog about whether or not my partner can do my job… how about a list of all of the things I can’t blog about? Or some of the things I can’t blog about.

1) My mother’s ability to tick off certain of my siblings.
2) My mother’s general inability to tick me off – til today when she suggested I was menopausal. (bitch.)
3) The hysterical thing a kid said last night, without prompting.
4) The really dumb thing Michelle said a couple of days ago.
5) The really dumb things Christopher says several times a week.
6) Speaking of Christopher, I’d love to blog a comparison of all of his g/f’s.
7) Jenn and her, ummm, life. (she’s blonde – brilliant but also blonde.)
8) My ex husband and his, errrr, life?
9) My ex job, ex boss, ex co-workers.
10) Sex, sex and more sex – or lack of.

How’s that for a list of things I don’t blog?

I really do wish I could blog about whether or not my partner can do my job. ‘Cause it would be an awesome blog post. Hmmm, password protection might be in order here. What do you think?
