So, I was already having an above-average Monday today (I ate tacos and a slushie for lunch with Camille, sold my first item from my vintage etsy shop, and my parents' cat let me hold her for a picture), and then I got a little email from BlogHer that was icing on the cake...
I've won a major award!
(Name that movie reference.) (Now I want a fishnet leg lamp....)
Stop Waiting for Your Life to Start & Start Living It Now
Attending the conference later this month in Chicago for a shmancy reception and to get my picture taken on stage isn't in the cards this year (and by cards I mean bank account because of that whole moving to California thing), but I'm so there in spirit! (And will photoshop myself into their photos later, naturally.)
Next time I win an award I'll try and enter other contests for airfare, hotel and registration fees at the same time so I can afford the festivities! As it is, maybe I'll just put on fancy clothes that night at home, pour myself a glass of sober-girl bubbly and toast to the walls and houseplants. (I kill all houseplants, who am I kidding?)
Moments like this are good reminders that I'm doing this whole writing thing for a reason. Thanks for all the support along the way, blogging friends!
p.s. After posting about all this good stuff, I glanced up at the baseball game my dad is watching and the cameraman was panning to different shots of bearded ball players. Is it my birthday and I forgot?

Good for you, Katie! It's your year!
CONGRATS! Seriously! That is amazing! Ironically, you came up at dinner tonight with some friends. Someone asked me how I know "Katilda." And I just went off about you and how amazing and funny I think you are. So you're famous in Utah dinner conversations too :)
I am so happy for you!! That is absolutely fantastic! Imma break out the bubbly as well to celebrate for you. And in bubbly, I mean the apple cider in my fridge.
Woot woot! Go you!! Congrats on the well-deserved honor! Also... YES! Get all dressed up and be there in spirit! Then take a picture and that's the one you can use for the photoshopped group shot! Congrats again.
