Go Michelle, go!<BR/><BR/>Stephanie - Maybe we can hire them out to be our personal butt-kickers. They're great motivators, let me tell you. Threaten me with not being able to attend the conference and I'll do just about anything! Especially with the first annual Whitney awards being presented. I wouldn't miss that for the world.Karen E.

I'm hoping to finish it by the end of the weekend, but I'm afraid it might be wishful thinking, though I'm sure going to work my tail off and try!Karen E.

Excellent job, Karen.<BR/><BR/>I posted this on my blog today and wanted to share:<BR/><BR/>"Okay, I'll admit it. Anne Bradshaw over at Not Entirely British did a really good thing and I am shamelessly borrowing from her idea of spotlighting the most amazing youth in the world. I think it is incredible what she has done and the youth that are the finalists in her contest are truly amazing. If you haven't gone to her blog yet, read about them and vote, you're going to want to do that as soon as you're done reading mine, submitting a nomination and generally recognizing that I'm the greatest blogger to ever walk the earth . . . all right, all right, you don't have to do that last part. As long as it exists in my mind I'm okay with that.<BR/><BR/>Announcing the Best Husband in the World Contest" -- please check out my blog today.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16986635883342034311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7728298016217374074.post-19582201526052833312007-09-04T18:37:00.000-06:002007-09-04T18:37:00.000-06:00Oh, and if we have to come back, it'll be a litera...Oh, and if we have to come back, it'll be a literal literary butt-kicking! :)Tristi Pinkstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12122250747480013804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7728298016217374074.post-10768269947408965122007-09-04T18:32:00.000-06:002007-09-04T18:32:00.000-06:00Julie - Catwoman?
