Remember this?

And remember how I asked you to vote for me?

And then I let that button languish on my sidebar from months on end and kind of forgot about it altogether?
Well guess what? I didn’t win.
Shocker.
BUT I am actually on the short list which is just about the coolest thing that’s ever happened to me blog-wise. I mean – in a popularity contest for people who write really long posts kind of way.
The Blogitzer isn’t one of the bigger, more sought after categories like Best Humor Blog (meaning not for people who only make themselves laugh) or Hottest Mommy Blogger (as if!). It may not get as much attention as the others, but I like to think of it as more of an “indie” category. Lower budget and fewer viewers, but…hmmm – okay, forget that track. Let’s just call it “exclusive.”
Would this make me like the seventh most popular cheerleader or the seventh most popular kid in the Chess Club…?
Either way, I WIN (seventh place).
WE’RE NUMBER SEVEN! WE’RE NUMBER SEVEN!
(If you wanted to see the full list of winners, go HERE. You’ll find The Blogitzer almost at the end – between “Most Obnoxious Blogger” and “Worst Blog of All Time.” So thrilling to be rubbing elbows with the blogging elite.)

Oh I am a horrible friend! I didn't see this till now!! Sorry honey 8(
Woohoo! Congratulations!
Seventh is wayyyyy ahead of "not listed" which is what I assume I am ;)
The indie category…I like that.
Yay! You're number seven!!
Don't they always say seven is a lucky number? Congratulations!
Congratulations! Number 7 is better than no mention at all. It shows you're being noticed. At least you weren't voted Miss Congeniality. I always thought that was the worst.
Love you,
Mom
There are literally millions of blogs out there – number 7 IS a tremendous accomplishment, and a very richly deserved one.
Woot! Congratulations Kate! Next year we'll have to launch a proper campaign and get you to the number 1 spot!
Hooray! Number seven is awesome.
yahoo!! Where's the champagne???
Wooohoo! Seven is a great number.
Congrats! Hey, I was number seven too for Hottest Daddy Blogger! Woo Hoo!
That is AWESOME! Congratulations! Can't wait to check out that list.
Congrats!! I thought that there would be hundreds of votes—-it hadn't changed much since I voted for you waaaaay back!
You deserve it, my dear….
Congratulations! You so deserve it.
seven is my lucky number. With all the literally millions of blogs out there, you should be proud
Yay! Congratulations!
Shorter is better, always.
Number 7 is not too shabby.
Congrats, Kate!
