Thursday is the new hump day

Typically* I’d do this “Hump Day” post on the actual hump day, but I forgot.  (*”Typically” being whenever the heck I feel like it.)  For those of you unfamiliar with my (very infrequent) “Hump Day” posts, this is where I hump some Internet leg.

Let’s get humping!

First of all it’s Blog Award season!  Yes.  Blog Awards.  Shallow but ever so fun!

I personally KNOW several of the people behind a few of the blogs nominated for the 2008 Weblog Awards, one being *ahem* myself (and Megan and many, many dedicated editors)…for Best New Blog, Blog Nosh Magazine.

A few other honorable mentions that I think deserve your vote include:

Amanda from Shamelessly Sassy for Best Individual Blogger, Megan from Velveteen Mind for Best Diarist, Blissfully Domestic AND Mrs. Flinger for Best Parenting Blog, Chatting at the Sky for Best Small Blog, and so many others.  These just happen to be people I know.

You can vote every 24 hours!

Have you signed up for Blissdom ’09 in Nashville yet?  February 6 and 7th at the Hotel Preston.  Be there!  Seriously, consider going!  It’s a great way to connect with your online friends and take away some great information about blogging.  Also, I’m speaking!  That actually means very little, but hey if the opportunity to see ME speak is what gets you to decide to come, then I’ll just say it again…I’m speaking!

For those of you who didn’t see this link in the comments section of my potty training post a few days ago, I think it’s only fair to be sure everyone sees this brilliant, hilarious, and oh so wrong solution to keeping your kiddo contained in a public restroom.

Thanks to Amy from Pretty Babies for the link!

If you have a mom who still inquires about your bowel habits, this post from Problem Girl is for you.  SO HILARIOUS!  I mean, not hilarious that she’s in pain, but well…you just have to read it.

I don’t have this exact problem, but I completely understand the despair of jeans shopping.

I usually lurk on Maggie’s site, but I had to comment on this fabulous post.

Another place I’ve been lurking and laughing is abdpbt.  Anna is so funny and such an engaging, talented writer.   I really should leave a comment there sometime.

Please note that the Gravatars (pictures) in my comments section are finally fixed!  The pictures actually go with the correct comment!  This is all thanks to Jen, who has a great blog design site, Dress My Blog.

Now go forth and vote, register, and read all the links above.  Throw some kibble on the floor for the kiddies while you’re busy reading, they’ll be fine until you’re done.
