No pink was used in the construction of this post
I’d like to thank the Academy for this prestigious Rockin’ Girl Blogger award. I’d also like to thank my family and friends who have been with me through the thick and thin of blogging these last 6 months, the ups and the downs, the highs and the lows. Special props to Crunchy husband for allowing me to show off his backside to the world. Thanks to Amanda, a determined runner blogger who has recently taken the bull by the horns and is fervently trying to make friends with her her bicycle, for the compliment and the nomination tag. And thanks to the creators of the Banana Guard for making the world a smaller place.
I’d like to send a special shout out to the talented soul who designed the button not featured here, enforcing the tired stereotype that girls are well-represented by the color pink. (I’d like to now pass the ill-designed baton to Moose, who I expect will have an update filled with poolside mojitos and more inch-worm antics from BlogHer 2007 shortly and will have many better things to do than accept this tag. Mwah ha ha ha ha!) Thank you to Kermit the Frog, Get Fuzzy, and Ben and Jerry’s for inspiring me, making me laugh and for keeping me sugared up, not necessarily in that order. [Begin awards show, get off the bleedin' stage orchestration.] And a final thanks to the farmer with the dog. What would I do without Bingo? [Music gets louder, cameras pull back to wide shot of stage.]
[Shouting.] No, wait wait! What I meant to say was “I’m just here for Bowie!” [I loved that!]

Are you in IT? I didn’t know other people actually paid attention to the webby’s. I only know about them from submitting sites that we build!
I have to agree the pick is a little overstated, but now you’ve pointed out yet another fantastic blog for me to read!

Fabulous speech, fabulous!

Congrats!
And somehow I don’t picture you in pink.

Thank you, thank you. I humbly accept my tag (whether it be pink, black, blue or invisible) and promise to uphold all expectations as relate to the tag and one’s longer-than-average acceptance speech. I would like to thank the Swedish Chef and my left foot.
