Vote for me, vote for me, oh please please please won’t you vote for me?

**earsplitting squee**

Remember last week when I wrote that rather locquacious ramble through my own archives that masqueraded as an entry into Mabel’s Labels’ “Send a blogger to BlogHer” contest? I had such fun writing it, but it was really only a lark. I mean, can you imagine what Beloved would say if I ditched him with all three boys for a weekend to jaunt off to Chicago thsi summer?

But!

They! Picked! MEEEEEEE!!!!!! They picked me as one of the top ten finalists!!! Me!! Can you believe it?

*breathe breathe*

But now I need you, Bloggy Peeps. I really need you! I mean it was one thing when I was grovelling for your votes for the ego-satiation of the various blog awards, but this is a trip to CHICAGO, dudes. Seriously! Me, at BlogHer. The whole idea frankly scares the crap out of me, oh my god all the talking to strangers and being intimidated by the best of the bloggy universe makes me a little queasy just thinking about it, but now that I know it’s even the remotest possibility I want it with all my heart!

So I need you to vote from as many computers as you can lay your grubby little fingers on, okay? Vote at home, vote at work, vote at the school library and the community centre and your sister-in-law’s house. But you can only vote once per IP address, now through February 23.

You’ve got to vote for me, because I just know Beloved is going to be out there voting for all the other girls to win!!
