How can I possibly thank the 32 people who sent 103 short, funny messages to brighten my weekend by entering the MakeConnieLaugh in 140 Characters or Less Competwittion?
What started out as a blue Saturday morning soon turned into one of the sunniest weekends I’ve had in a while-not because of the weather, because we are still having our daily downpours. Instead my “mourning was turned to joy” by a community of friends who hang out here and on Twitter.
I wish I could award you all a prize. (But it ain’t gonna happen, so don’t get your hopes up.)
Last night I stayed up late rereading the entries and making my decisions. Because I want to spread out the fun, I will announce the winners over the next few days. I’ll also create a page where I can share some “link love” with everyone who played along.
Here are the final award categories:
Miss Congeniality Award
Accidental Entry Award
First Place Prize
Grand Prize
My next post will announce the first award, so stay tuned!

I love it! Congrats on such a successful “experiment”. Can’t wait to see what you have next to entice us.

Miss Congeniality has me roaring with laughter…damn now you tell me!!!!

How can the woman possibly expect us to be funny on demand? But the participants exceeded all of my expectations. I laughed. I cried. And now I’m getting ready to throw confetti at the winners.

And here I am, a new mother, with nothing to do but feed the baby and await your decision. Not fair!
Suspense is fun I guess.
