Much Ado About Lezzys

VOTE HERE! EVERY 24 HOURS THRU MARCH 2ND.

February 22nd was Be Humble Day according to my Oriental Trading Wall Calendar. So, I decided to wait until well after that date to announce that PEACHES & COCONUTS is up for 2 count them, 1....2, LEZZY AWARDS!! No time to be humble in the world-o-Lezzys, I’m afraid.

I commit to you that I will not dedicate each post this month to the Lezzy Awards. That being said, there are a few things that I will share before moving on to weightier subjects such as Things Gabriella Can Not Find Because They Are Most Likely Up My Vagina. It just so happens that I can’t find a necklace that I usually wear with my favourite earthy toned wardrobe items. I’m hoping that it is in the usual place because I would be very sad to have lost it.

First and foremost, thank you so much for pushing up Peaches & Coconuts like a Lift Gel Underwire Bra to the top 3 in the Lezzy categories: Best Humor & Best Personal Blog. Much as a nice pair, I’m feeling attractive and uplifted thanks to you all. And for your efforts, I will reward you with a visual aid supplementing the description of said pair (be it not my own pair because that would be an attempt to win your sympathy rather than an opportunity to reward positive voting behaviour).
Now that we’ve made the qualifying round, it is time to win Gold like Lindsey Vonn on the downhill. I’m not nearly as athletic or blond, and I don’t even own a ski suit, but I may just have a chance given that most of my friends have been around long enough to have numerous email addresses -not that I’m encouraging that kind of voting.
I am delighted and thrilled to be on the slopes with some amazing talent. We are a force, we Lezzy Bloggers, and you can’t go wrong reading any of our blogs. As far as voting goes, the Gold is in your supple hands. Choose well.

If you’re anything like many voters in the United States of America, you may turn to your BFF or your partner and ask, “Honey, which bloggers do I like best?” at which point your votes may be influenced by someone else. While I personally think you should take a look at these worthy candidates, it is my pleasure to give you my thoughts on some other Lezzy bloggers.

I “met” Alix of A Brown Girl during last year’s awards. She never disappoints with her honest observations and thought-provoking questions. She’s up for Lifetime Achievement Blog. Vikki at Up Popped a Fox and I also “met” as nominees in last year’s Lezzy Awards, and it’s been my absolute pleasure to be a Fox-Fan ever since. Her blog is funny and smart and always entertaining. Whether you vote for her or not, I insist that you check out her blog. Like my sister the anti-blogger, you’ll be hooked. Vikki is nominated for Best Personal Blog as am I, so I should direct you to vote for Vikki in the Best Parenting Blog category. But, if I were to tell you to vote for The Mighty Fox for Best Parenting Blog, I would be asking you to negate the prolific and profound writings of Polly at Lesbian Dad who is as warm and genuine as she is talented. Don’t make me choose, please! It’s like Sophie’s Choice except much happier.
I’m up against Grace the Spot in Best Humor Blog, and Spot-readers are decidedly numerous. Grace the Spot is a great piece of blog, therefore I may be toast in that category...perhaps.

Where does that leave you? More confused than ever? I do apologize. Where can you find the answers? Well, they are most likely not where I left my favourite necklace. Do you what you need to do, and do it often...and then come vote for Peaches & Coconuts HERE.

Last year, a fair number of my supposedly educated readers voted but did not verify their votes as instructed by selecting the link sent to their email address(es). Let’s show the world that P&C readers CAN be taught. Now is the time to do it right...every 24 hours....thru the 2nd of March.

I'm off to acquaint myself with the other nominees. I hope you'll do the same.
