The bad news: Abby didn’t win the Plutus Award for “Best-Kept Secret Blog” last night.
The good news: She did win the People’s Choice Award. Her reaction was quite choice; read about it at her blog.
And I won for Best Frugality-Based Blog, which frankly astounds me: I didn’t even know I’d been nominated until shortly before the conference. We got a lot of good-natured ribbing about it being Mother-Daughter Night at the Plutus Awards.
So many thanks to all of you who voted. She still can’t quite believe it. Abby has already noted a number of new followers.
Now it’s off to the races for the first official day of programs. I give my talk at 11:15 a.m., which is perfect: People may be a little hungry but they won’t be hungover. A lot of people stayed too long at the Plutus after-party.
Truth be told, I stayed too long myself. My eyes are stinging but I’m not feeling sick because I limited my intake to a single Diet Coke. In fact, I gave away my other drink ticket to a guy named Romeo. (All the best stories start with a line like that.)
I’M SOOOOOO PROUD OF YOU BOTH!!! Now read that in your head screaming and jumping up and down!
A brilliant Mother-daughter tag team!!!
Congrats to you, Donna! That’s so cool that you both won, of course!
Congratulations, Donna! You and Abby both deserve the rewards. I read both of your blogs.
Congratulations to both of you. It is so well deserved. I love both of your blogs.
Congrats to you and Abby both! Go ahead and do a happy dance — you deserve it!
Congrats! I don’t think I met either of you at FinCon13. Perhaps next year!
Well, shoot….You shouldn’t have skipped my presentation. 😉
