Write From Karen’s last blog post..Painting with Your Food

oh wow! I never expected an nomination! I think I know who put me in there though. Thanks!

Renee’s last blog post..LOST!

I’ve never voted with these polls. Does one have to click on the + icon for the vote to be counted?

Angie’s last blog post..I don’t know how I feel about being a semi colon!

How cool! I’m excited to be nominated as well. Thanks to whoever thought of me!

This was so much fun. There were sites listed that I had yet to see, but signed up to there feed because they were good enough to want to keep up with. The judging was hard on a few of the categories, but…I did it and enjoyed the time spent looking through all the sites.

Thanks so much…this was really fun.

These women are so wonderful at what they do!
Congrats and good luck!!

the mama hood’s last blog post..Win a Oliso Frisper Freshkeeper!

Wow, I came over to vote and found out I’d been nominated - what an honor! Although, I don’t know - is ‘Most Talkative’ a compliment or not…

So hard to choose on some of these - there are some awesome blogs listed!

Deb - Mom of 3 Girls’s last blog post..Camera Critters #1 - duck, duck, Goose!

the only problem is that the host isn’t up for an award…

thanks for always making everyone feel like bloggy ohana!

Naomi’s last blog post..We’re too busy

Wanna vote, but how? Just click my favorite and then…?

Cool….!

I just got worded that I got a real nomination.

SERIOUSLY excited!

Mostest talkativest works, but I still say, where’s the sarcastic beef?

Good&Crazy’s last blog post..A little Church Chat.

It’s an honor to be nominated. Although I ahve to agree with Naomi, why oh why weren’t you nominated?

Kristin’s last blog post..I Got Nominated!

Oh my gosh, what an honor to be nominated! Thank you to whoever nominated us for Most Popular. We’re not worthy, we’re not worthy!

How fun, Kailani! Lots of great bloggers represented here!

Kelly @ Pass the Torch’s last blog post..Book Review and Giveaway - Picture Perfect

I can’t figure out how to vote either–it doesn’t seem like it’s registering.

Mom24’s last blog post..Random bits and wrap ups.

i think you have In The Life Of a Child listed twice in the same category.

Kim’s last blog post..Weekly Wrapup: Not Great, Not Horrible

I am so flattered to be nominated and so ashamed that I have never seen these before - so many great blogs and so many great blogger-nominees! What an honor. Thank you for allowing me to be included in such a wonderful bunch!

Anyone else having problems voting? When I try to vote it says I must enable cookies — but cookies are enabled.

Such an honor to be nominated! Thank you!

I have to join with the others who have wondered if their votes were recorded. I “clicked” next to my selections and a little arrow appeared on the right side…is that all?

Stephanie’s last blog post..Elegant Knitwear for Kids (don’t worry - it’s machine-washable)

What a complete shock!! Who knew someone loved me enough to nominate me as most popular!?! Whoever that was is very very special indeed.
Mama’s Losin’ It’s last blog post..Sundays Video: Laina’s Meltdown

How exciting! I’ll have to let my blog designer, Vicki from Swank, know the good news!

Kristin’s last blog post..The Hollywood Men & Me

Okay so I was just coming over to vote for someone who I love when I noticed that I too was nominated for most popular blog. WOW. I just fell off my chair.

Thank you so much to whoever nominated my blog.

Tonya’s last blog post..EVERYONE WORTH KNOWING

I was nominated?? WOW! I wasn’t able to nominate people because I was so busy at work and now I feel bad. I was confused about how to go about voting? Just check next to the persons name? Don’t see a send button anywhere.

Dee

Dee’s last blog post..Friday!

I locked in my votes. This is fun.

i’m in shock. honestly… i’m not in the same league as most of these bloggers. but i am so greatly honored that someone thought enough of me to nominate me. so that already makes me a winner.

i look forward to visiting each and every one of these blogs. should keep me busy for the next couple of days =)

BWAHAHAHAHA!

Desert Songbird’s last blog post..Manic Monday - Under

Whoa!! I was in the middle of putting my votes in and saw myself (my blog)!! Who nominated me? I have to give him/her a Christmas gift!

Goodluck to everyone. For the record, I did not vote on myself in the category I am in.

Elaine’s last blog post..BSM - Perfectly Imperfect

I think this is how I vote….but Mama’s Losin’ It should definitely win her category. She is funny, has a stinkin’ cute blog, and is so nice!

Randi S’s last blog post..my mother

Oh, I’m so thrilled to even be nominated! I’d like to thank God for giving me fingers so that I can type, my parents for not breaking said fingers when I was going through puberty and all those who are responsible for putting me on the “Most Likely To Succeed” list. I’m humbled to say the least, but obviously not speechless.

I’m off to vote for myself and then trying to find a way to juryrig the poll so that I’m sure to win. Just kidding, just kidding… (Are you sure you didn’t mean to put me on the Class Clown list? You might want to check and make sure that wasn’t any oversight!)

Shalee’s last blog post..Never Saw This One Coming…

[...] can go to An Island Life to [...]

I just followed someone else’s “please vote for me” link and what a fun surprise to see that *I’m* actually nominated for the Brainiest category. I hadn’t the faintest idea, I just happened to be scrolling through and saw my own blog there.

A big thank you to whoever nominated me, I’m very flattered to be thought of.

Robin’s last blog post..I nearly lost a friend once

I just vote for a friend, hope everybody happy with whatever the results will be

Voted.
Lisa’s Chaos’s last blog post..Gone to the dogs

I just found this. How much fun? I had to twitter it and add it to my Google Share because, seriously, that’s what the Most Likely to Succeed chick would do, right?

In high school, I was voted Most Likely to be Famous. I think they meant in movies, but I decided that “Most Likely to be Famous for Rambling on and on in Comments” would work, too.

This was fun. I have to write about it this week, too! Thanks for including me. And whoever nominated me, tell me!!! I love you!

Velveteen Mind - Megan’s last blog post..BlogHer Newbies Unite and Promote

Hey Carissa,

You go, Girl! I hope you win, cuz you deserve it! I mean that in a good way…:) I enjoyed reading your blog. Julie B. plugged me into it and I just had to laugh, especially about the SassyQueen’s dance studio. I know how you feel! We’re not staying with that dance studio next year either. Good luck in your surgery!

Well, I’m thrilled to be nominated in ANY category, so thanks to the blogmates o’ mine who might’ve been behind it :).

BUT…I’m trying to vote, too…and I cannot tell if it goes through! Help! I’d be feelin’ really “Not Brainiest” if others hadn’t said the same thing.

People…HELP?

And to those of you who are popping over to see just how talkative I am…WHY THANK YOU! Speak!! I’d love to “meetcha”!!!

Robin (the pensieve one)’s last blog post..Turndown Service ~ Friday’s 40PC #3

Ok…maybe it’s “me”!! The post commentluv registered as my last post was WEEKS ago!!! There’s a GREMLIN somewhere between here and Hawaii!!!

This is the current one, but now I just think I’m talkin’ to myself!!! SOWRY!!!

I have to admit I don’t know over half of these blogs…Oh, well, I voted for who I know and who I like… Hugs!

Kathleen’s last blog post..Happy Saturday!

I didn’t even know I was nominated until someone left a comment that they voted - but seeing all the other blogs listed, I’m so amazingly flattered to even be in the mix. So many women I respect are on here - all RIGHT!

Thank you for including me… hugs!!

(ps - how funny to put me in “most talkative,” when I have social anxiety and can’t speak in large crowds).

Thanks to you Kailani and to the nice people who nominated–what a sweet thing to find this morning!

Sorry for the third comment, but I have to chime in with the eleventyhundred other people and wonder how exactly you get your votes to register?

You said the votes are tallying but is that after you click next to a name and the check mark shows up? Or is there a submit vote button or something?

It’s confusing.

Loralee’s last blog post..Sideblog: I’m just glad to be nominated

I love your idea, but find that it is indeed a shame that bloggers have the power to enact change, to make the world a better place, and to help those that need help, and yet we visit in hordes the mommy blogs, we give accolades to the blogs that talk about ice cream and toads, teddy bears and diaper systems.
The most popular blogs, the ones that attract 100 comments are giant advertisments.
Good for those whose blogs flash ads like a vegas strip, but if you had the readership (influence), do ya think you can do some thing that would make this world a better place?
Just asking in a nice way.
I did enjoy many of your posts, and like your “voice”, but I kept looking for the killer post, the one that makes the 100 commenters go WOW, we have to do something about this!
