Well wouldn't you know, I have been nominated for the Blog of the Month at FTLOB! To say I am excited is an understatement.
Now...I am sure there is a science to being nominated, and getting the votes. Just like in advertising, you have to connect with your audience. Make them want to return again and again. You have to get the word out there...letting people know you are nominated. Your blog should stand out when compared to the other blogs...It should say LOOK AT ME!!!!
LOOK AT ME!!!
However...this nomination has come at the near-end to the 2010-2011 hockey season. After all, this blog's title is Tales of a Hockey Wife. So my time and energy is being spent packing up a home...getting things ready to go to our cottage for four months, helping my daughter prepare to change schools, finishing up the fitness classes I have been teaching...and plan for TWO birthday parties next week!
So....I will not be able to get new posts up in a timely fashion...and therefore I cannot "rally" the votes.
So as much as I would love for you to head over to FTLOB and nominate Tales of a Hockey Wife....
I ask that you understand...the month of April will be a busy one...where my posting will probably be sporadic...and most posts will consist of me complaining that I should have married a dentist (as my daughter pointed out here)....
I am already in awe that I have over 200 people following me, which makes me feel like someone out there finds humor in my life, and can laugh along with me! But the best part is the fact that I have more blog followers than my sister...which makes me a winner in a little game we like to play called "who is better"!
I voted for you, OF COURSE! Hope you're able to post once in a while, even though I know you are going to be just stupid-busy over the next month, I do love reading your posts!
Yeah! Congrats on the nomination :) And yeah for packing up for the season. Even more exciting!! I am sure your cottage in the summer is gorgeous. And we will miss you being around here all the time, but we will be here when you come back!
You're awesome! Even if you're not married to a dentist (and frankly, I find dentist's wives irritating...but, that's only because I have something against their perfect teeth)...
i am impressed by that pole thingy!! That will probably get my vote!
i love that you are honest and i find your blog hilarious and real! supporting you while you get through april!! i married an airline pilot who flys all over so i understand.
Stopping by from FTLOB, loving your blog! I am a hockey fan, dated a local hockey player for awhile and my lil brother (now 30) still plays locally. Love your upside down pole picture..lol, awesome! I am definitely a new follower and will vote for you too :)
I don't envy you for the month of april! Good luck! If you feel the need to rant then please do because those of us that read your site regularily understand!!
