Blogger of the Month, Tyra Banks & a big birthday bbq.
April 02, 2007
Happy Monday, blog buddies!
It's the beginning of the month and you know what that means - it's time to announce the BLOGGER OF THE MONTH for April!
BLOGGER OF THE MONTH has been in existence for a year now and there's one specific blog buddy who hasn't been bestowed with the prestigious honor even though she's deserved it month after month.
Why not? I mean, she's been hanging around the RossBlog since the very beginning. Every month she gets tons of votes. She's here every day participating and, with her positivity and upbeat attitude, making the RossBlog the amazing web-community it is.
So why is she yet to be crowned BLOGGER OF THE MONTH?!?
It's simple: I was afraid of being accused of nepotism.
I am proud to give you our new BLOGGER OF THE MONTH...


My mom!!!
If you've spent any time at all around the RossBlog you know how much my mom deserves this. I couldn't let an entire year of BLOGGER OF THE MONTH go by without giving the honor to her. And if it sounds like nepotism, well.. maybe it is. But the truth is she EARNED this!!! I mean, she did kinda give birth to me after all...
Now, this is where I usually allow the newly appointed BLOGGER OF THE MONTH share a few words about themselves and give an acceptance speech of sorts.
However, this is a total surprise to my mom! She'll be finding out about this the same way y'all will - by reading the blog.
So, mom, I encourage you to post your acceptance speech in the COMMENT SECTION (below) so we all can read it!
Everyone say, "Congrats, Mom_Ross!"
In other news...
I had such a great great great weekend! My friends Molly and Renee are visiting from Seattle and we've been keeping super busy.
We spent part of Friday at The Tyra Banks Show! Some of my Celebrity Fit Club cast mates and I went on to talk about our experience (it'll air in a month or so - I'll let you know).
I was kind of totally nervous on the car ride to the studio, but luckily I had Molly and Renee to calm me down.

Aren't they cute?!?
I didn't get a chance to take any pictures (I'm not even sure I was allowed to), but Molly totally hooked the RossBlog up by sneaking some pictures of the monitor as she watched the taping of the show from the green room. Everyone say, "Good thinkin', Molly!"
Here I am talking 'bout something:

Here I am kissing Maureen McCormick (it's a long story):

And here's all of us as we wrapped the show up. From left to right: me, Kimberly Locke, Tyra Banks, Tiffany, Maureen and Warren G.

How fun, right?!?
On another note...
Yesterday was a very very special day! My paw-fect little dog-ter, Louise, turned 3 years old!

I'm such a proud papa!
Truth be told, she's a rescue, so we don't know her real birthday. But a few years ago, based on what the vet told me when I got her, I counted backwards and decided that April 1st would be her birthday from then on.
We've celebrated the big day with a fun party every year since. Yesterday was no exception.
A bunch of my closest friends came to celebrate, including Louise's boyfriend, Wilson (my best friend Kim's poodle), Kim and her boyfriend, Molly, Renee and my friends from college Ryan and Lora. We had a birthday BBQ party complete with presents, cake and drinking. I mean, in dog years Louise turned 21. Even though she can't partake, we had to celebrate that somehow, right?!? :)
Here's a picture of Louise opening up a present from Renee.

Louise loved it! She seriously wouldn't stop playing with it.

Then it was time to eat her doggie cupcake. Don't worry - it's all doggie safe!

It was a great great day!
And now I'm back to work and busy as ever. Molly and Renee leave tomorrow, so we're going to do something special tonight.
How was YOUR weekend?!?
Until tomorrow, gang!
Ross
