Almost Famous

I woke up this morning to more blog hits – a hundred more hits – than I have had in my ENTIRE 3 weeks blogging.  What’s this?  Turns out the photo I entered for the motherhood contest a few days ago is one of the 20 finalists.  This is a big deal.  Huge!  The winning photo receives a $1000 gift card. 

 

Things I could do with One Thousand Dollars

• I could buy 333 lattes at my favorite coffee shop.
• I could pay the retainer fee to our lawyer to finally get the co-guardian agreement done so Kim could be Casy’s legal guardian instead of his legal stranger.
• I could landscape the backyard, xeroscape, and put in a whole lot of water resistant Utah natives (the plant – not the people).
• I could definitely go back to organic fruits, vegetables and local dairy milk.
• But as boring as it sounds, what I would really do with it is buy screen doors with locks and put in a fence since Casey just learned this week how to escape.   

The contest is decided now entirely by voting, and considering my recent entry into the blogosphere, I figure I’m the underdog.  Even so, if you have a moment, please click over to http://www.5minutesformom.com/3364/mothers-day-photo-finalists/

and vote for me. 

 

In the meantime, I’m gonna sit back and check my blog statistics numerous times a day. I’m almost famous after all.
