I'm Mama Blogger of the Month - woohoo!



YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!


Okay. Slow down. BREATHE, woman! Whew.


So, I already knew about this, because obviously I wrote the answers and put thought into it and such. It was hard for me to sit on my hands and not scream to the rooftops,


"I'M MAMA BLOGGER OF THE MONTH!!!!"



But, stayed quiet, I did.


Now it's your turn to go scream (at me or with me, whatever you prefer). I am the first Mama Blogger of the Month to be featured on Mile High Mamas, a very cool blogging community for Denver-area parents. It is a blogging community associated with the Denver Post newspaper.

Amber Johnson, the lovely lady behind Crazy Bloggin' Canuck and the creator of Mile High Mamas, asked me to be the very first mama featured. Do you have any idea how humbling that is for me?! Despite how many bumbling words I presented in the feature, I am just about at a loss for words right now. Mile High Mamas is one of the landing pads for some darn cool company, including Greeblemonkey, Mitch McDad, and many other talented writers.

So, I ask you, go to my featured blog. Please celebrate this moment with me.

I'm tickled pink.



40 beautiful people muttered something back:

Ecky said...

Wow congrats for you...

Veronica said...

YEAH! Congrats! Heading over there right now to have a look.

Amber said...

Well deserved, my dear. :-)

Rachel said...

Congratulations!! That's wonderful!

Neen said...

Congrats!

Candi said...

CONGRATS!!!! What an honor!

Aimee Greeblemonkey said...

Very excited, congrats!

judy said...

This is so cool! I'm so happy for you and really loved the question and answer piece!

I want to respectfully differ with you on the whole comment/not comment thing however. I read many blogs (including yours) sometimes for which I find no reason to leave a comment. It is usually because I don't feel like I have anything to add.

When we choose to express ourselves for public comsumption, we take the risk that some will react, not react, applaud, remain silent, or simply nod in acceptance and move on.

Don't worry about what people think of you...or dwell on who might be lurking and reading silently. If they read and don't comment, perhaps they are just being in the moment. It isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Congrats again on being featured!

amanda said...

Awwww, it's about time you're recognized for your talents (both in blogging and mama-ing)!

I think it's your voice *rawr* on Utterz that really sealed the deal.

Also, I had never seen GreebleMonkey's blog, but I voted for that one on the 2008 Bloggies because I liked the name, haha.

Phil "The Blogger's Husband" Porter said...

Hooray for the imaginary binky! You rock, lady.

justmylife said...

Congrats! You deserve it!

Karen MEG said...

Congrats, there, crazy chick!!! And even though you didn't finish NaBlo, I'm so glad you at least stopped by for the party so I could find ya!
I'm a comment whore myself, but I know that not everyone likes to add everything for the world to see. I'm also not sure of the netiquette, of whether to comment on my own blog or those of my commenters. Mostly I comment at their space, because I don't figure they always come back.
Congrats again; very well deserved, and good luck on 365.

bgathen said...

Correction ... the award is actually from the Mile High Club Mamas. Congratulations just the same. (really... you deserve it. I'm very happy for you)

Mitch McDad said...

I like bgathen's comment. It should be the Mile High Club Mamas, then they'd all have to sleep with me.

Congrats!!!! Very cool. Can't wait to read it.

Eve said...

Went there, read that, enjoyed it very much. Congratulations!!!!!!

Suzanne said...

Congrats! On my way over to take a peek at the celebrity's blog!

Go Sarah!!

Solomon Broad said...

Congratulations! :)

imaginary binky said...

Ecky - Thank ya! I'm a blubbering, blushing mess of a woman.


Veronica - Woohoo! Thanks for heading over. I appreciate the read, and there are lots of great blogs on Mile High Mamas for you to enjoy.


Amber - You rock! Thank you for the opportunity!

imaginary binky said...

Rachel - Thank ya! I'm giddy as a school girl.


Neen - Thanks! I hope you enjoyed the interview.


Candi - Thanks! I feel pretty humbled about being interviewed. Also, you have a very alluring pic of yourself there on the bed. Rawr! Haha.

imaginary binky said...

Aimee Greeblemonkey - Aw, lady! Thank ya! I especially want to thank you for introducing me to Mile High Mamas. I really enjoy your writing.


Judy - Now, lady, you are too kind. Thank ya!
You're right about a lot of things. You always leave the best comments. But, as a jumble of nerves and need for attention (haha), I still want to hear from my other readers. Just leave a "_____ wuz here" if thoughts evade you. In many ways, I see my blog as a community of friends. It's a gathering place. I'd like to talk with those who gather, appreciate their presence. I have an e-mail listed for anyone who doesn't want to leave a public comment.


Amanda - Hahaha! I'm glad that I've seduced you with my bumbling Utterz. Maybe I'll audition for commercials and take over the roles that Sally Kellerman used to do. "Hidden Valley Ranch dressing... mmmm..."
Greeblemonkey indeed rocks. Go, people. Read her words and gawk at her pictures.

imaginary binky said...

Phil "is my ball and chain" - You're just saying that to get in my pants. You're the best, mister.


justmylife - Thank ya! You rock for reading my silliness and for leaving lots of comments.


Karen MEG - Thank ya! I still enjoy typing out "MEG" as if I am shouting it out. I'm very happy to have found you and many other great bloggers on NaBloPoMo.
As for sharing the love, I like to leave return comments on my blog (to continue the conversation and silliness), return comments via e-mail if the address is provided, and comment on other blogs I enjoy. I guess I pepper myself all over the place. I've been a little distracted with Amos and things lately, but I'm getting better at returning messages.

imaginary binky said...

Bill Gathen - Hahaha! Since Denver is already a mile high, there is really no need to smash bodies into a tiny airplane bathroom for the purposes of "doing it". How right you are.
And thank ya. You are one of my favorite writers, mister.


Mitch McDad - Ha! I didn't realize that becoming your concubine was part of the deal.

Thank ya! I've enjoyed your blog immensely.

imaginary binky said...

Eve - You are quickly becoming my bosom chum! Thank you so much.


Suzanne - Thank ya! You rock for visiting my little nook of the world so often. Thank you much, my friend.


Solomon Broad - Thank ya! I'm glad to have run into you during the madness of 365 blogging days!

imaginary binky said...

Nina - Aw, thanks! You rock.


Mr Lady - I can almost hear you screaming. Louder! Haha.


Cajunvegan - Yay! Hey, I don't discriminate. I was a childless creature for many, many moons.

Sarcastic Mom (aka Lotus) said...

Congratulations! That is just great. I'll head over later tonight (after John has left, boohoo) and read up.

clickmom said...

LceeL said...

Congratlations. I haven't been here too long, but what I have seen of you would seem to support the accolades. As Oprah would say, "You go girl!"
