Tonight I looked at the Bloggers’ Choice Awards voting for the first time in about a week, and I found two items of interest:
1) Somehow I’m still hanging in there on the front page (the top nine vote-getters are listed on the front page. I’m eighth, or as some like to call it: OUT OF THE RUNNING SAVE A COMPUTER MALFUNCTION).
2) Of the blogs that are in the top nine as I’m writing this, SEVEN of them have little red badges out to the side that say “Adult Content.” Only two do not. I’m one of those two.
I’m a little tickled by that.
Because here’s the thing.
Say you’re a regular reader of even one of the seven “adult content” blogs.
Say your curiosity gets the best of you and you decide to check out the blog toward the bottom of the page, the one that’s called BooMama or somesuch nonsense.
Say that you’re accustomed to lots of, um, “colorful” language in your daily blog reading.
And then, strangely, you find yourself here.
I’m not sure, but I think the following would probably be a fair assessment of how my blog might across to someone whose blog reading is typically along the “adult content” lines:
OHMYWORD MY MERCY I JUST LOVE JESUS, Y’ALL, I LOVE HIM TO PIECES, AND BY THE WAY HAS ANYBODY GOT A GOOD POTATO CASSEROLE RECIPE FOR THE LOVE OF PETE BECAUSE I’M MAKING SOME FRIED CHICKEN AND LAND SAKES ALIVE YOU’LL NEVER BELIEVE IT BUT ONE TIME WE WENT TO THE FISH CAMP WITH MAMA AND IT WAS MORE FUN! JUST MORE FUN! AND I DON’T KNOW IF I’VE EVER MENTIONED IT BUT DO YOU KNOW THAT I THINK CHRIS TOMLIN SINGS SOOO PURTY-LIKE?!
I mean, those poor souls must think they’ve landed smack dab in the middle of some sort of hillbilly revival meeting. With dinner on the grounds to follow.
Which is why, when I was looking at the Blogger’s Choice thing-y, I found myself wishing I had a little warning badge of my own. Just so people would know what they’re getting into if they decide to click over here.
And LOOK! THE INTERNET IS MAGIC! It enables you to create things ON THE COMPUTER! Like warning badges!
Of course, I can’t actually, you know, use it on the Blogger’s Choice page.
But if I could, I’m sure I’d shoot to the top of the voting.
Provided, of course, that the seven people ahead of me REMOVED THEMSELVES FROM THE COMPETITION.
AHEM.
Land sakes alive.

There ought to definitely be a warning to swallow any beverages that might be in your mouth before reading, that’s for sure! You are too funny!
That sounds a little like my family in Alabama…it brings me back. I voted for you…Best Humor Blog…Wahoo.
What can I say, you crack me up!!!
The warning label was just a little too late…..I had already laughed myself silly before I got to it! I check your blog as soon as I sit down to a computer because you never disappoint! Where else could I read such funny stories and see little goslings with their mommy and daddy??? I love it that you love Jesus, Alex, BooDaddy, your family, your interpeeps, etc. We love you, too, BooMama!
Thanks for the email and everything you are doing for Heather. I absolutely LOVE your warning button!
Because of Jesus, Bobbie
I just gave you another vote and others must have, too, because you’re at #7 now. I think the web could use a little less adult content!
You are awesome!
I just stopped by to check in ’cause I’ve been busy baking cakes over at my place this weekend and haven’t read anything for three days…sigh.
Anyway, you know I love Kelli, but PLEASE do not remove the trans fats! They are about the only thing you make over here that I can still eat. No greens, no salt, no chocolate or dried fruits, but sugar and fat??? Yes ma’am I can still eat those! So, deep fry some yeast rolls for me and I’ll be over as soon as I switch my laundry over!
Okay, as someone who Lurves her some Jesus and somehow managed to get labeled “adult content”…we’re not all bad.
I STILL can’t figure out how I got labeled that, as I don’t use no fightin’ words and such.
Would you please make me a badge that says “labeled adult content but seriously, it isn’t that bad?”
I. Love. You.
This was flippin hilarious.
Oh my word, you sure do know how to make a girl pee in her pants!!!
I just found your blog a week or two ago and might I just say….YOU ARE SO FREAKIN’ FUNNY! LUV YOUR BLOG!
Now … that’s funny right there … I don’t care who you are!
And, for the love of all that is good and saturated, you forgot to mention your fondness for hospitality (home tours), and bacon! Hello!? What kind of southern gal would you be without a healthy dose of bacon!
Please pass the warning sign. In Jesus name.
And honestly … I had to re-read your warning sign, and I was dying of laughter, because I thought I read an “R” in the word “Fats” on your last line, “Saturated Fats” … Making it … “Saturated … err… ummm .. Toots.”
Blushing, and quickly stepping away from the computer.
Oh GiBee! That’s funny! BooMama, it’s too late to warn us! We’re already hooked!
