Acceptance Speech

Hello everyone,
I have been informed that I am the BLMVP. First of all, I'd like to thank my competitors, Jodi and Lindsay. It was an honor just to be nominated with these lovely and talented ladies, but, let's be honest, the best woman won.

Actually, Nicole probably picked me because she felt bad that her stupid cat peed in my clothes.

As many of you know, I now have a master's degree, so that means I can boss all of you around, except for KJW, who also has a master's degree.

Because of my extensive qualifications, I am going to go outside the norm for picking a book. I am picking two.

"Two?" you ask incredulously. That's right, bitches! Two! As we all know, Ski to Sea 2010 is approaching, and, I want everyone to have plenty of time to read the stunning book I have selected THE HANDMAID'S TALE by MARGARET ATWOOD.

So, I propose, to enhance the fun-ness of our pre-Ski to Sea carbo-loading/bonding, we take a page from 2008's book (literature joke!) and each read a Sweet Valley High book and prepare a short book report.

Let me know what y'all think.
XOXO,
Gossip Girl

Because we are awesome

Better Lovers,

While we bask in the joy of electing one of our nearest and dearest to victory in the hotly contested race to be the BEST BARTENDER IN ALL OF BELLINGHAM, perhaps we should think about purchasing the next book we are to read.

Stiff, by Mary Roach

If you can't find it at your friendly local bookseller, or simply only have the time for internet ordering, may I suggest you purchase it from Better World Books?

Not only is it NOT a corporate mega giant, there is free shipping everywhere in the US, you can offset the carbon emissions of shipping for 25 cents, and a portion of their profits goes to world literacy programs.

Sincerely,

Flanhoodles
