A couple months ago, I decided to pay homage to bloggers I read and enjoy so much. My small way of saying thanks for the joy they bring to my day and introduce them to any of my readers (yes I’m talking to you) that might not know said joy.
Without further ado, my first honoree is the amazing, the unmistakable, The Bloggess. Anyone that reads blogs even casually knows the name – she is the cherry on the blog sundae for most of us. Jenny, this is for you. You’re welcome.
An Ode to The Bloggess
My love for you knows no end
Upon your posts I do depend
To laugh and think and suck at math
And remind myself my dog needs a bath
Do you know what a treasure you are?
People stalk you near and far
But you won’t be had, you now the gig
Must be why you wear those wigs
Your little one is so fair
I own her artwork, so porny, so rare
It’s the only art I’ve ever bought
A quilted dildo is what I sought
So know that you are truly loved
You’re a gift to us from up above
All this emotion is making me sick
Just trust me, you are WORTH THE CLICK.
Jenny, The Bloggess, is all over the internets. You can find her obviously at The Bloggess, chatting it up with Mindy, who is pretty rockawonderful herself (yes I can to make up words) at Good Mom/Bad Mom, and guest appearances all over the place.
My hope is that NBC wakes up and smells the ratings and gives her the reality show she deserves. Peacock can you hear me? At minimum, she should be in Beijing covering the Olympics with Matt Lauer. (Jenny, obviously if this leads to some sort of deal with NBC or any of the major networks, I’m gonna need the standard 10%, k? Love ya, mean it.)

Jenny, Bloggess
This is totally the best award I’ve ever won. And that includes the time when I almost got 4th place in Little Olympics for the standing long-jump.
I cannot believe you worked “quilted dildo is what I sought” into a poem.
Gifted. You.

Jenny, Congratulations on your award!
I agree with you Amy, hers is truly one of the best blogs out there.

Well, she IS the Blog ESS. (that’s how I say it.) Very deserving.

Well-deserved award to Jenny – Yay! I only “found” The Blogess recently and have totally been digging her ever since — her post yesterday was 100% classic gold. Well, well, worth a click every day.
And, hey, some kudos to Ms. Ohio for her rockin’ poem! 🙂

Dude. She’s totally worth the click. Which reminds me I STILL need to do a post about my first emails with her from the beginning of the year.
Too awesome.
You and her.

I am on my way to check her out. I have heard of her but never been there. (I know shame on me.) Great poem! And if you want photoshop stuff done just drop me a line :O)

I’m in a state of shocked and silenced awe. And a little jealous.

Wow, so much better than my sad EMO poetry!! I was so glad to see your name on the Allmediocre list, because I remember you from fun-chat-night and wanted to check your blog, but couldn’t remember the name of it. Hmmmm, maybe should have just googled AmyinOhio?? Yeah. Work with me.
YOU are in my reader. You have a genuine voice. Love it!

Yes, Jenny rocks. Totally, for sure. She’s, like, awesome. (I’m getting my inner valley girl on, ya know?)

A touching and beautiful homage. Making “quilted dildo” sound so poetic is a true writerly feat indeed.
Now what rhymes with Amy in Ohio?

Just thoroughly and frighteningly brilliant, you both are.
Love this, and can very nearly picture it worked up as a cross-stitch sampler and hung on a wall somewhere.
Alongside the infamous quilted dildo, naturally.

How does one apply for this award? And do you take bribes?

So totally worth the click. (You deserve one of those, btw, too.)
