Canadians! Today is Election Day. I know we don’t have all the hype and foolishness that goes on with the presidential election south of us, but I so strongly believe that each of our voices is important.

Our present Prime Minister has his nose in Bush’s back pocket. And I think he might be sniffing his bum.

Please, if you care about this great country of Canada, go and vote now.

And non-Canucks? You can vote for me at the Blogger’s Choice Awards.

I love you long time.

We are celebrating on this day of resurrection, an Easter(n) Miracle that Ree suggested in my comments on the demise of my machine. My monitor was bad. Never mind that I am squinting at a 15″ CRT monitor now. It just feels so good that I have all of my data. And hoo, boy! Did I have a time remembering passwords for various essential sites while trying to navigate on Ass Burger Boy’s keyboard-challenged laptop. From when he took it apart? They’re all written down now. All the hard restarts from trying to get it to work wreaked havoc on my system, and I have a lot of uninstalling and reinstalling to do. Don’t want to have to do a reformat, because there is always something I forget to back up when I do that. Those of you who barely can find the on button of your computer, ignore this. It will hurt your brain.

To celebrate, and stay in keeping with the theme is this bit of creativity that I made with my younger brother and sister out of papier mache about 25 years ago. Yes, that is most likely the last creative moment I had. Maybe. Anyway, Kelly tagged me for a creative meme, which was to produce something creative, and this is all I have actual evidence of. It’s supposed to be the Easter Bunny. Stop snickering. It has personality. Which is what the vet receptionist said about Handsome Henry.

My liddle sister treasured it, and kept it unharmed, lo, all these years. I’m glad she did, because even though two of her boys are older, Bonkers is the right age to love him some bunny that isn’t in a stew.

Peep of the Week is taking me a bit longer than usual, and I have elected to highlight some wicked good comments tomorrow.

Now you will see me returning to begging for votes and stumbles because that big honking ad is finally up, and I get paid for traffic to the site. I’m trying to insert links unobtrusively to my older posts that maybe ten people got to see, when I started blogging in November. Some of them aren’t half bad, and I have been using them as guest posts on other sites because I’m tricky like that. Yesterday, when I could barely type, Kailani of Island Life featured an oldie. She seems to be enjoying herself in Tahoe!

Vote For Me

My site was nominated for Freakiest Blogger!

March 2nd, 2008 | 18 Comments »

All it will take to enter this contest is a one time vote. It doesn’t involve registration or signing up, just going to the site and voting.

After you vote, come back and in the comments, state that your vote for Contestant #3 (that would be me) has been entered. I will choose a random comment/vote via random.org. The prize? $10.00 via PayPal. Not a huge prize, but I am spending money to make money. $100 is what I get if I win. If not, I am only out $10.

The place to go is Blogger Noob Review

I have a few more announcements later today, but once Sunday is over, so is the contest, so please head over right some quick, as they say hereabouts.

I will announce the winner as soon as the other contest winner is announced, which should be promptly done. There is a countdown bar on the site.

Well, I’m all worn out from all that pimping hehe.

Peep of the Week and an announcement later.

AND THE WINNER IS:

Kim, I will donate the money to your cause as per your request.

And? I won the contest you voted on! Here’s what I won. I thought since I was outside the US, I would get $100, which I was extremely happy about, but Noob says he will ship it to me, since Canada isn’t so very far away.
