First of all, I'd like to thank my Father, He loves me enough to have sent me to J-Land in the first place. Thanks, Lord.
I didn't really expect to win a VIVI Award. But someone out there liked what they read and nominated me. You guys are awesome. I've got to tell you I felt like a winner right then and there. That would have been enough, but enough of you seemed to like me that there was a tie! And now I've got a VIVI Award. Wow! Can you believe it? I guess you can. A lot of you voted for me. Thank you.
Then of course, I must thank J-Land's own Blogfather John (without ME, you wouldn't have him) for encouraging me to start a journal. I have had more fun here in J-Land than I ever could have imagined. Patrick, Vivian, Gregg, Betty,Annie - you have all worked so hard!!! Did I miss anyone? Please forgive me. I would never do that on purpose.
And the Awards Ball! What can I say? The clothes! The shoes! The accessories! Betty was the perfect hostess in the main room. I heard there were three ballrooms open! Can you believe it? If I'm not mistaken, there's a guest-book to be signed. Just drop by here and make sure you are counted. Thanks, Andi, for keeping track! The conversation was . . .what shall I say ? . . .scintillating. And announcers Patrick, Gregg and Betty kept us on the edge of our seats with anticipation.
Finally, and probably most importantly:
To all those who won awards! I am in great company. I'd also like to extend that same congratulations to all who were nominated. You all deserve an award - to you I say:
Now, without further ado, I am going to bed. It's been a long and exciting day and I need my beauty rest. By the way, if anyone picked up a pair of red shoes at the ball, they're mine.
Blessings,
