We Be Peep'd

G over at Decisionally Challenged Peeped us.....and we liked it.

We liked it a lot!

It was almost as good as when Okie poked us.

She said to serve wine and cheese to those stopping by. Enjoy!

We Be Thankin' Ya'll Now!

Okay, we're over the shock of winning "Best Commentary".

Now we'd like to thank those that nominated and voted for us.

THANKS THOSE THAT NOMINATED AND VOTED FOR US!

We realize we beat some really good bloggers ...who probably think they should have won.

Those other bloggers are probably saying.. "What the hell were those voters thinking?"

Some bloggers might even be saying... "They can't even spell with spell check. I can spell! I have a degree!"

While other bloggers are for sure thinking... "What! They won? But I've been doing this longer than them!"

We're pretty sure some bloggers are even saying.. "That 2008 should be ours! It should be ours!"

And we know without a doubt, there are bloggers screaming...

"SHUT THE FRONT DOOR! WAS YOU PEOPLE THAT VOTED HIGH OR SOMETHING!"

We're A Weiner!

Holy Crap! You people actually voted for us!

Best Commentary

THANK YOU!

We're kinda speechless right now....we'll have to comment more later.

Holy Crap!

Counting to 4

We're just sitting here counting to 4.

We count 1..2..3..4 of us.

That's 1..2..3..4 votes...4 votes!

4 votes that could be used to help other bloggers.

Other bloggers..like say..those up against a certain woman.

Or maybe a blogger that really really wants to win.

Or maybe a blogger that has been nominated for two catagories and only really needs to win one..you know, like maybe.. the Best Political and not the Best Commentary.

Or maybe a blogger that would never make other bloggers feel guilty for not voting for her.

Or a blog (that we nominated) that also has four votes that they could use to help other bloggers.

We count 1..2..3..4 votes here.

4 votes just waiting to be used to help some bloggers who could help other bloggers with a vote .

Not that we're asking anyone to use their 1 vote on us 4.

We're just sitting here counting to 4!

1..2..3..4 counting our votes some more

Blogger Congeniality Award!

We want to give this Blogger Congeniality Award

We're giving it cause there's no way we'd ever win it.

The Blogger Congeniality Award goes to the most friendly, helpful, genuine and outgoing blogger in the Okie Blog Award contest.

We picked this blogger because she went to every Okie Blog Award nominee and left a comment congratulating them on being nominated.

And the winner is------------ *Georgie*

Now it's your turn to go leave her a comment.

Remember - Smilers wear a crown, losers wear a frown. (name that movie)

American Idol - Mark Mudd

We seem to always end up in the 'Commentary Blog Category' in magazines, links, and nominations. So I'm gonna commentary on this American Idol Mark Mudd thing.

This guy, Mark Mudd, from Coxs Creek Kentucky, was on American Idol last night.

You knew as soon as you saw him.. not gonna make it.

But he tried.. and he wasn't bad.

As the guy was leaving, he said.. 'Take care and be careful'.

And Paula said: Be Careful?

Mark: Yea, be careful in whatever you do.

Paula: What?

Mark: I'm just saying be careful in whatever you do.

Simon: That was a threat.

Paula: And that's a threat.

Mark: No, I'm just saying just be careful you know in whatever

Paula: You don't say that to people. You don't say that to people be careful. That's just not, that's just not a normal thing to say.

What! Is she serious? You don't say that to people! That's not a normal thing to say!

And Simon! Is he serious? That's a threat! Saying be careful is a threat!

I could understand if the guy had said 'You better take care and be careful when you leave here cause I'm gonna kick your ass!'

But the poor guy simple said 'Take care and be careful'

Dear Best Commentary Blog Nominees,
Take Care and Be Careful in whatever you do.
Love, The Idabel Girls

Checkin' You Out!

Okay, let's check out the competition:

Best Commentary:

Bounded Rationality - Jeff Shaw - I have lived in Tulsa nearly all my life. I spent the the 80's in New Mexico and Indiana. I love to read scientific studies, and economic papers (I don't know why). My favorite thing to do is to learn new things and play musical instruments. I am also fascinated with other cultures. I am a devoted family man, and believe that the family is the cornerstone of society.
Scientific studies, economic papers, good grammar and spellin', he writes real good....there goes the vote from all the smart people.

Brit Gal' in the USA - Sarah - British expat' who turned her life on its head when she fell for an Okie (the Hubster) in an online backgammon room! Went from stressed out, overworked and stuck in traffic...to chilled out, where's the traffic and look out for tornado's! Now living far, far off the beaten track in rural Oklahoma (Okieland) and loving life Y'ALL!

But I digress - Melessa - I'm a Sooner-born and Sooner-bred mommy of four and an MLS graduate with a degree in Museum Studies. I'm also a writer wanna-be.

Either that or the money just gave me a really big head start.
She has a degree, we have degree deodorant. She speaks Italian and reads Latin, we can speak and read some. She's on baby #5, her laptop is down and she hasn't lost her mind...there goes the vote from all the smart strong sane women.

Okie Sister - This one is not fair..SHE'S OUR FRIEND! She links to us, she leaves us comments, she posts about us. She's our buddy, she's our pal, she'll totally understand if you wanna vote for us and not her. That's just the kinda gal she is...crap! there goes the vote from the kind and considerate people.

A blogger...A blogger is one..we are four.

Not one damn joke about how our four brains make one good brain!
