On Winning & Birthday Questions
It’s Hump Day.
So I need to hump thank you.
Because of your votes, I won the brand new, but much coveted Peg-o-Clio Award after submitting a piece of fiction to try to come up with a use for and then “sell” a product that Peg had at her blog.
To read my winning entry, click HERE. (Note: It’s short!)
Check out my awesome cyber-trophy. Those red shoes are smokin’. I wanna get me some of those. Perhaps I should forget this whole author thing and just go into advertising. Obviously, I possess the ability to turn chicken shit into Chicken Cordon Bleu. The book thing is taking a lot longer than I ever expected.
Thanks also to all of you who voted in RobShep.com’s 2nd Annual All Star Blogging Contest. When I sent out the call to my friends on Facebook and Twitter, you came through at the polls. At one point, the two teams were in a dead heat for hours. I am confident that it is because of my followers that Team Ricky was able to close the deal. So thank you for utilizing every device you had in your houses. And offices. Seriously, y’all are the best. Be sure to check out the great blogs from BOTH teams. Because, honestly, these people are wonderful writers.
I know these little contests might seem silly to some of you, but for some of us, they are fun and they offer our writing community the opportunity to offer a little recognition to some of the stellar writers here in the blogosphere. I’m hoping to one day read a book by The Good Greatsby and I can’t wait for Tamara Lunardo‘s anthology of essays What A Woman Is Worth to hit the shelves!
Last, I wanted to remind you that if you haven’t yet asked TechSupport a question for his birthday, you still have a chance to do that HERE by 8/12. All questions must be on the blog. On August 13, 2012, TechSupport will be made to sit in a chair and write responses. I will not correct his grammar. (Who am I kidding? Yes I will. I am going to try to get him to remember when to use capital letters and commas and how to identify run-on sentences. And fragments.)
NOTE: Be sure to read the questions that people have already posted so you aren’t asking the same question that has already been asked already so you aren’t asking it again which would be repetitive and redundant.
Do you see what I did there?
If you ask a question that has already been asked, Tech might ignore you. I would hate for that to happen!
Happy Wednesday everyone!
What good things have been happening to you? Who do you need to hump thank?

Cool Ren’ee. Very cool.
Hi Ray! Thanks! I’ve felt very fortunate this week.
Um… you are HILARIOUS! So imaginative 🙂 Congrats!!
I had to show off Pegoleg’s great trophy. Please check out her amazing blog. She’s another one of “those people” who writes every day. And every stinkin’ post is amazing.
How could you enter a contest and not win?
Aw…thanks David. But I’m a big loser. I lose all the time. 😉
Woo-hoo! Congrats on your win! I wish I had a little red “I voted” sticker. 😉
Thanks Nina! I KNOW who voted and who didn’t. Ricky & Peg told me everything.
Just kidding.
But I scared you for a minute, didn’t I?
Thanks for the hump. I’m glad you WON! =)
Congratulationss again, Renee. Thanks for playing, and thanks for the bloggy shout-out. I KNEW that trophy would look great on your mantel.
Congrats also on that other little contest. That looked kind of fun, too. I guess.
You are taking over the world!
I gave you an extra “s” in honor of your special hump day. On purpose.
Hey – congrats on the winnings! And those red shoes are kickin’
Congrats on your fab award Renee! Those shows are smokin hot:) I am grateful to so many people I can’t list them all, but one is for friend’s like you:) xo
And I am grateful for you, too! I hope things are going well with you. I know you’ve been having some trying times of late. Please know you are in my thoughts.
For real, Shannon.
Your ad for the glow boots was hysterical, Renee. Well deserved! Wear your red shoes proudly. 🙂
Thanks Amy! I sooooo want to call you Bumble. Is that bad?
No, I find it soooooo cool! I think it’s funny, seriously. You have my permission 🙂
P.S. I’m also called Ms. Bumble. But you can just call me Bumble 😉
Okay. Then just so you know, I know you’re Amy.
But.
Whenever I see your comment.
Anywhere.
I’m going to Bumble-Bumble you.
Love it.
I hope Bumble & Bumble doesn’t get all up in my grill about copyright infringement! Because I plan to bumble a lot. 😉
Cool! Sounds fine to me 😉
