The Envelope Please

There’s a pile of awards to be given today. It’s gonna be a thrill ride of excitement and you’re ALL winners!

As with my first annual Blog Prom, I’ll have to host a Celebrity Lookalike Contest again next year! Mark your calendars, kids!

First, congratulations must be given to Jen for her runaway win with 31% of the vote. She will be receiving a box of tasty, Iowa grown Snappy brand popcorn. It’s good stuff AND I actually know the people who own the company. Because when I think of celebrities, I think of movies and TV and what goes better with that than popcorn?
Also, Jen will be the ONLY person receiving the soon-to-be-coveted Winner button. I’m not going to do all that touchy feely “can’t we all be winners” crap. Political BS. Somebody has to lose, bitches, it’s a contest!For you runners-up, congrats to MJD and Marissa for silver and bronze level achievement and my thanks for everyone who took the time to participate. I have a Participant button to share with all of you. Email me for the code.

Quite some time ago, I got more of those nice, happy, flattering awards from people that I think are really great. And it’s been crazy and I haven’t passed those along. So, in the spirit of Absolutely Bananas Blog Award Party, I’m totally and utterly copying her idea and getting these buttons out and kickin!

MJD gave me the Creative Blogger Award. I’m passing the Creative Blogger Award on to Bun in the Oven, CPA Mom, Pinky Swear Inc., Domestic Chicky and The Perfect Neurotic.CPA Mom gave me the Nice Matters Award. I’m passing it on to 24 Crayons, A Day in the Life of Elle, Creating Ms. Perfect, Was That My Out Loud Voice, Family Tree Junkie, Pole Hill Sanitarium.Hold on, there’s more! I’ve wanted to do it for a long time. Create my VERY OWN award, and I was inspired so I’m grabbing the bull (or cat) by the horns. Sometime readers will know of my affinity for using the phrase “cat’s ass”. I like it. It works for so many situations. Definitions, if you’re too lazy to click:
Cat’s Ass (courtesy Urban Dictionary):
The very best. The finest. The epitome. Most excellent. Absolutely, without a doubt, for sure, unbeatable, "can't be licked". The best, the bomb. In reference to something more excellent than a cat's meow.These people will receive the “Sunshine Thinks I’m the Cat’s Ass” award. Best part, you can’t pass it on, so NO THINKING ON YOUR PART!!
