Cheerio Awards

Why do they have so many award shows for people who are rich and famous and already have gigantic egos and don't really need another statue in their house?

I'm accepting nominations for the Cheerios awards . . . awards for people who will never get them otherwise. I'll start off by nominating myself for most frequently "losing" my keys and later finding them still stuck in the lock of the front door.

I'll also nominate my sister for selecting truly the most practical bridesmaid's dresses in the history of the world . . . Black dresses of their choice with a coordinating sash. (My sister Em is getting married! Did I mention that? She also gets the prize for giving me something really exciting to look forward to.)

Michael is nominated for "Best Hint-Taker." Yes, I got the Michael Buble tickets for my birthday!

I'll also nominate Alice for having the skinniest little pair of bird legs that I ever saw on a five-year-old.

And sure, Mark McGuire is a little bit famous, but I don't see him winning any prizes any time soon . . . so I nominate him for creating the greatest one-day depreciation for Michael's Mark McGuire rookie card he's been hoarding since childhood.

Also my Fleabags of 2009 nominees are: Tiger, Octomom, Rob Blagojevich, Balloon Boy's dad, and anybody whose last name is Kardashian.

The categories are limitless! I'll make some good ones up after I see all the nominations for the Cheerio awards. Nominate yourself, your loved ones, or any of these people. I don't care!

I'll name the winners next week . . . the prize is bragging rights!

I nominate my sister Tamy for posting most daring pic (the pic with her birthday invite) on the internet. Isn't she hot???

Tamy said...

OH MY GOSH!! I am totally clothed people... I was wearing a tank top, skirt, boots. Hello! But thanks Charity I will take the nomination.

Oh, this is great! I especially like your Fleabags of 2009 category. "...anybody whose last name is Kardashian." That one cracked me up (and the bit about Mark McGuire and the link to people of Wal-mart). I nominate you, Mandy for the most sensational blog posts (and that is in all sincerity--I love reading your blog)!

I vote for Alice. We have some great bird legs on Spencer around here as well, so I'm partial to bird legs :)

I nominate myself for mother of the year! ;) I change more diapers and deal with more whining then anyone I know. Plus my kids have been sick since Halloween. Thanks for giving me the oppurtunity to award myself. This feels good! I think I will take the night off tonight and catch a movie.

Congratulations Brittany. I'm pretty sure you change more diapers than anyone I know too!
