The FINALS! Now It's Really Up To YOU!




This will be my most pitiful post to date, because the entire thing is nothing but a plea for help in winning the SITS Girls Recipe contest. Last week was the semi-finals and I very nearly sweat through my entire wardrobe watching the votes come in. I made it to the final four, but from this point on it's truly all up to my friends in blogland.

They've changed the rules this week, which I'm really impressed with because it makes the whole voting process much more fair. All you have to do is go to the site and leave a comment stating who you are voting for. You don't need to write anything other than my name or #1, which is my current standing. Votes will not be available for viewing, so no one will have a clue how well or badly they're doing in the contest. Keep in mind bloggers, that if I do happen to win this thing, the prize is $100 cash and a new digital camera. I could really use both, believe me!

If you'd like to further help my cause, maybe you could put a short blurb on your blog about me and the contest, and I could possibly get a lot more votes from people that you know, but that I don't know! Did that make any sense? If you'd like, grab the code for the SITS Girls Recipe site from their sidebar, so all your visitors would have to do is click. Email your friends, email your family, email your gynecologist... it doesn't matter to me, I just need votes and LOTS of em!

I'm leaving the rest of the begging up to the critters. Thank you blogger friends, from the bottom of my heart!!!!!

    I got in there and voted, despite the despair and frustration I am curently enduring. I did actually try from work but it was blocked.

    I do believe that all you need is a Blogger i.d. You don't have to actually have a blog to vote. You might say that in your main post so that people without blogs know they can vote for you!!

    I believe Bridget is correct in that you don't need a blog but just a blog ID. They accepted my vote and I don't have a blog.
    Good luck Justine...!!!
