BTB: "Ooooh, Pick ME, Pick ME!!!!!" [Waves hand wildly] |
"Ooooh, Pick ME, Pick ME!!!!!" [Waves hand wildly] Posted: 09 May 2010 01:02 PM PDT A year or so ago, attending the World Equestrian Games was my dream. I swore, Scarlett O'Hara-style, that "BYGODIAMMGOINGTOWEG!" Then Riley's surgery drained off my fun-things-fund (and then some). Last fall, when a friend passed along a signup sheet for a bus trip to WEG, I reluctantly declined. That is, in a rare moment of self-denial I said "no" to spending money on horses. I said no. But I wasn't happy about it. Then, lo and behold, a ray of hope! Purina is sponsoring a contest, Live from Lexington, for someone to blog the Games. The notion leaves me feeling giddy -- going to WEG and actually getting to blog it is a double-whammy of wonderful. I think I'd be good at it -- I really do! Now, how to convince Purina of this? Here's where I could use your help Last week I submitted a writing sample (excerpted below) to the Purina Web site. If I'm chosen as a semi-finalist, they'll ask the general public to vote for their favorite blogger from June 14 to July 1. If all my friends and family vote for me I'll have about 13 votes, and that's if I include the cats. It'd be great if my readers -- the ones who have never been subjected to the real-life me -- could cast a vote (or two) my way. Wish me luck! clipped from www.livefromlexington.com
