Confession: I don't want to toot my horn or anything but...
Toot Toot. Tooty-toot-toot. It may be no big deal at all to most of you but to me it was.
You guys know kirtsy right? No? Are you kidding? Well if you don't, let's get this out of the way right now so that we can move on. Blog readers meet kirtsy, kirtsy, blog readers. There. Now that we're all old friends I just have to tell you something that I am super proud of. So proud in fact that I used the word super. A litte while back (not saying they took a long time to decide or anything, ahem) kirtsy decided they were going to create a book. Yep, a kirtsy book. I know. And the coolest thing is that they decided to let the readers name it. So, they created a little contest. Check it out. And they got lots and lots and lots, and yes lots of awesome suggestions to name the new book. When the dust had settled and the girls had a few cocktails and picked a winner from a hat excitedly mulled over the options, they came up with a name... and a winner. Me!
Okay, so it was not just me. It seems as though there were so many good choices the ladies could only narrow it down to three. And so they took the name that I had suggested, melded it with the name that doahleigh picked, and paired it up with the name that genny chose, and voila! a new book name. Wanna know what it is? Do ya? Okay I'll tell you. It's Kirtsy Takes A Bow: A Celebration of Women’s Favorites Online. Pretty good huh? Now here's the really cool part. Yes, it gets better. Hard to believe I know. Part of the benefit to winning this baby, aside from the glory and recognition for my awesomeness, is that kirsty will be putting one of my blog entries into their book. They are nice like that. Did I mention that you should check them out? And so this is where I call on you. Always here for me, I trust that you will help me make the difficult decision as to which entry I shall post for the world (or at least anyone who buys the book) to see. Tough decision isn't it? So please, please, please, peruse my archives, recall your favorites, try and remember which posts didn't make you want to throw up, and then please comment here with your choices.
What's in it for you? Well, my undying love and adoration for one. Not good enough? Okay how about the recognition as being the one who named the post for the one who named the book? Still not good enough? Well how about a copy of the actual book itself once it comes out? Better? I thought so. I'll pick a winner at random from all the commenters. The winner will get a copy of the kirtsy book when it hits the stores. Be patient. Those ladies have a lot to do.
Now, please go tell all of your blogging buddies to come on by. Blog about it, have them blog about it, twitter it, digg it, do what you have to do, but get me some suggestions. And of course, kirsty it! Quick! I don't want to keep the ladies waiting.

Congrats! :P Good luck with trying to figure out which post to put up :)
Thanks. I'm starting to get a complex though. My posts usually get lots of comments. Maybe nobody thinks anything I've written is book worthy? LOL!
I enjoyed the one about blogging for money. Not the funniest you've posted but the most professional sounding. The one about your father was good also. Very moving. I don't really want to enter the contest, but thanks.
How funny is it that I posted that no one was suggesting and 1 minute later someone did. So, where's everybody else's thoughts?
wow. this is a cool blog! where have you been all my blogging life michelle? ok, let me dig around your archives...i will be back!
ok. im' back. 'hand me down my prozac'! i laughed out loud!! i must confess tho, i love every post you write. honestly, i feel like i am reading my own thoughts. scary.
::the ones' i tell nobody out loud ::
cough/laugh/cough....
man. i love this blog.
ok. not stalking you michelle. i promise. but something really weird just happened. just thought you might be able to relate....
when i made that last comment....guess what the 'word verification' was?? give up...
i had to write 'helsyco'...
hmmm...the god's must be telling me something.
hehe. scary.
omg that is the coolest damn thing! I'll try to peruse tonight, after going to the gym; working on a field hockey slide show; taking my son to basketball and perhaps I might squeeze making dinner in there. THEN, i'll peruse your stuff!!!
sounds great!!!
I think that's awesome! I'm just getting the chance to get to know your blog (and updated my Reader to get your latests), so I'll have to read the suggestions people leave you!
We Interrupt This Blog definitely.
My first time here. Checking out all the 'confessions' blogs. I started all the way at the beginning. I loved 'Sick Days', 'What's So Safe About Safeway', amd 'I'm lovin' it', for humor. 'Father' if you are looking for something more serious and out of character.
My vote's for either porno PTA or running with scissors. I don't know why I picked those actually I narrowed them from a list of many.
This is a hard decision! I've been reading through previous posts since I'm new to your blog and so far I love "That's my boy" and "Pissed"!! I was laughing my butt off when I read those!! I'm sure I'll run into more, so I'll post again, but for now, those are my favorites! I love your blog by the way!
Wow! Way to go! I think anything you pick would be fab!
Congrats!! The first to pop into my mind was Porno PTA....
Can't wait to find out the WIN!
