Time to Vote
November 13, 2008
And you thought the elections were over?!
You may have noticed that I was rather silent on the whole subject of elections. As a disenfranchised legal alien (fancy speak for Canadian living in the US) with good friends on all sides of the political spectrum it's best to keep my mouth shut on these matters. You can be sure I have an opinion but I choose to keep it to myself (unbelievable I know). Besides I believe in making the world a better place right where I live, regardless of Washington politics.
Ok, that's enough politics. I'm here to ask you to vote... for me!

FIMBY has been nominated for an award over at The Homeschool Post. A site all about "encouraging, informing and connecting the homeschooling community".
I've been nominated in the Best Variety category, which I guess describes this blog as I'm kind of all over the place in what I post about. Life's more interesting that way.
I totally don't want to inconvenience or pester any of you so you are welcome to dismiss this post altogether. But for the rest if you'd be so kind and pop over to the Best Variety Blog voting page. Click on the little circle next to my blog name and click the Vote button down below.
I just did it, right now, and guess what? My blog has one vote, mine! Ha, ha... kind of funny actually. Yes, I really do need your help. But please, only one vote per person. I think they can track that somehow anyway. IP addresses or some other mumbo-jumbo.
There are prizes with this award but I honestly haven't looked into that since prizes aren't so much my thing but the "publicity" would be kind of cool.
Take care you all and thanks for reading this. And if I don't win this award I'll know who to blame! Just kiddin'.

I've cast my ballot - and will spread the word for others to do likewise! Heaps of leaves, a smile on your face and wearing favorite clothes - not dorky at all.

Oh that is so cool! I think you have an exceptionally thoughtful way of writing about home schooling and parenting in general so of course I voted for you!! I enjoy reading about the path you have decided to take with your children and admittedly you are starting to make me seriously consider home schooling for my own family. Goooooo FIMBY!!!

i found your blog because of the blog awards, and that's prize enough for me. :^)
like you, i was happy and excited for the opportunity to introduce my blog to new readers. i have to say, though, the last few days of posts about cheating have really left a bad taste in my mouth.

That's exactly what awards and giveaways can be good for....."Publicity"....which also goes hand in hand with meeting new bloggie friends to share ideas with.
