I want to thank my fellow nominees...

Thank you! Oh! Thank you! I can hardly believe this! I feel so lucky! And this award - it's so shiny and svelte! Oh, thank you again! It's just so unexpected! I didn't even have a speech prepared! I just want everyone to know that even in my wildest dreams of blogging, I never would have imagined that this could ever happen to me. And to the other super-amazing nominees, I want each of you to know how totally wonderful your jealousy makes me feel right now!

You know when they first told me I was nominated, I just had to take a minute and think about how great my experiences have been. I guess it all just makes me feel kinda special.

You know, there are so many inspiring poeple and losers to thank! First off though, I want to thank the Marie over at mtclosetowin.blogspot.com, who looked deep within her heart before giving me this fantastic award! Also, I want to thank Jenny Craig and Nutrisystem, for being such powerful forces in my journey thus far. And to Mum and Dad, who inspire me and taught me to never give up on your dreams. And finally, to all my readers and twitter friends - I couldn't have done it without you!

Thank you America, and good night!
