Humble pie

I should have taken a screen print of those few shining hours yesterday morning, before all the other nominees noticed that they were nominated for the Best Parenting Blog thing, and me and my early-rising bloggy peeps were running the voting show. Ah well, at least a few of you immortalized the glory days hours in the comments.

Since after a day and a half of voting, I have less than 10% of the votes of the leading contender and teetering on the edge of dead last, I think I safely call this race as run. If I thought it would help, I’d tell you to vote for my dear friend and bloggy sister, Bub and Pie, but even if we pool our votes I’m not sure we could clamber out of last place.

Heck, they don’t even have the blog name right in the link list under the poll. They’ve got me down as Dani Girl instead of Postcards from the Mothership. Oh, that must be the problem. I’m suffering from brand confusion. Yeah, that’s it, that explains everything!

(Vote for me, or vote for Bub and Pie, but just vote - help us keep the Canadian contingent out of last place!!)

Congratulations and good luck to all the Best Parenting Blog nominees:

Antique Mommy (Another great blog!)
Notes from the Trenches
Amalah
LookyDaddy
Finslippy
Hollywood Flakes
Dad Gone Mad
I Think This World Is Perfect

Heck, it’s still pretty impressive to be considered alongside the likes of blogs like these, isn’t it?

3. Oh well. This is the first year since I started blogging that I didn’t make it through to the final round of voting for the Canadian Blog Awards. There’s a good chance I’d be pouting right now if I weren’t so happy to see the blogs that DID make it to the...
4. Vote, eh? It’s no secret that I’m a fan of the Canadian Blog Awards, and I even played along this year in the administration of the awards this year, judging eligibility in a few categories and participating in a loose sort of e-mail advisory board on the set-up and direction of the...
