Okay, here is a strange thing…
I ran across a page today that links to this blog that said I was a finalist on a blogger award (Ladyblog Female Blogger Awards) in their Healthy Living or Leisure category. Strangely, the voting ended almost a week ago, so I had no chance to go vote for myself or shamelessly beg all of you to vote for me. 
The winners were supposed to be announced 2-3 days ago, but nothing yet. Even more strange is one of the other five “female” finalists is a man. Yeah, you heard right. So, I’m not sure if that’s an insult for him or a compliment. Surely with a little elbow grease they could have found another woman to put in there since the award is… well, you know… for chicks.
I keep thinking maybe I clicked on a link that has sent me into an alternate Internet universe. However, if I’m going to be sent off to an alternate universe I’d really rather be shuffled off to someplace where everyone has to send at least two pieces of snail mail per week and where milkshakes have zero calories and where Superbowls are played by shirtless Chippendale dancers.
A girl can dream, can’t she?

Hi there – i just came across your blog ! – it’s so lovely and congratulations on being a finalist in the lady blogger contest. I’m really excited to find someone who is also a fan of the endangered art of snail mail. I wanted to let you know that my sister, my ex-husband and I have revived the aerogramme – the letter and envelope all in one – in the hope of encouraging people to put pen to paper and stamp out loneliness
- our company is called international girl aerogrammes and we sell our products online at http://www.intgirl.com – it’s really made my day to find your blog and know that people are still writing with pens ! – best wishes – jaki fisher
Hey Jaki, your aerogrammes are pretty adorable! I’ve added you to the shopping section of the site. Maybe I can send a person or two your way. We letter writers have to stick together!
