Cookies
I’m baking cookies right now–chocolate chip, except with dark chocolate chunks. Mmmm. Will these be cookies of consolation or a bite of victory? I have until 11:00 EST to find out. Win or lose, it’s been such fun! I never realized how many non-Xangans read my blog.
It is rumbling
thunder in a pleasantly ominous way. Rain is pelting, and the kitchen
is illuminated by occasional bursts of lightning. I just love a
thunderstorm.Since some of you don’t subscribe to the same folks I do, here are two great stories you might have missed. Mamaglop is writing an excellent short story in installments called The Sandcastler. Becktumfleck is telling the tale of her son’s horse, Storm, in an engaging episode format as well.
I shall update with the final tally…
EDIT–
The contest was to end at 11:00 EST. Here are the results.
You guys are amazing. Thank you ten times over and more!

They evidently didn’t close the poll yet! I just voted and lady, you’re ahead!!! Woo-hoo!
YEP!! It’s still open…and your in the lead- by the hair of your chinny-chin-chin!!
Only 1% ahead- but hey….the whole point is to win! 
Yum, your cookies sound great.
Oh, yeah, what I actually came here to say…I would have responded earlier, but I’ve been busy. You know…frosting my leg hairs and stuff… ROFLOL!!!!!!! *snort* ~giggle~ I can’t quite get done laughing at that one!
If they ended at 11:00, then, YOU WON!! Ya-hoo! Good for you, girlie! Night-night!
Hey! I just checked back and you’re tied! That’s not right. At 11:00pm you were ahead by about 6, I think……… boo!
YAY!!!!! i voted last min!!!
“…and there she is Ms. Engaging…(don’t know the rest of the song)!!! Congrats!!! We love you Teacherperson! What do you get?
The hexagonal storm on Saturn makes the case for hyperdimensional physics …… http://www.enterprisemission.com
I wouldn’t have had a clue about Nelson or Horatio Hornblower.
Congratulations!
I was hoping you would win, even though I don’t know you or juliepersons. Her name I had seen before, though. When I actually saw her show up out of nowhere and comment on my closest OFFLINE friend’s xanga a couple of days ago, I giggled…wondering if she was commenting as many people as she could hoping for votes. She picked the wrong site in that one. Your name is new to me. I only recognized 2 or 3 names besides my own on the poll.
I had no idea what time it was ending. I had a difficult time getting many of my readers to go to Dan’s site, many outright refused to step foot onto his site because of their feelings towards him. I adore Dan, though…even though it is extremely rare that I go on his site, as well.
congrats!
and your cookies do sound delicious….
Yeah, she lived in a hutch out back. I suppose she was pretty old….8 years, I think. Anyway, congratulations! The most engaging site, I knew you’d get it!;)
Congratulations! I hoped you would win! Eat a cookie for me in celebration!
Have a great day!
i knew you’d win
Good Job! Guess free cheese wasnt enough!
congrats!!
That’s great..you won by 3 people!!!
Whew! 3 VOTES!! That was a close one! But, I’m so glad you won!! Yea!! Now, remember what I said about your fame…… don’t let it go to your head! lol! I know you won’t. You’re far too sweet for that! Congratulations, Lady TeacherPerson!
A tiny poem in honor of your win:
THE MOST ENGAGING
There once was a woman from PA,
Who had so many engaging things to say!
She got entered into a contest,
And, although, there was a long list,
She stole the hearts of all right away!!!
Hooray!!!!!!! I’m happy you won.
BTW, I just remembered that you asked about Sam awhile back and I completely forgot to answer, so here’s your response now.
Sam went through some low points when I was feeling thoroughly frustrated with his silly self, but I have my own personal Officer of Writing Enforcement who has been using brute force (literally! I can’t read novels or get online if I don’t work on him) to make me work on him each day. So, I’m in the middle of writing the roughest rough draft ever. Once that’s finished, I’m going to rewrite it and post it on the Romany site for comments and advice. How goes it with King Thrushbeard? Er, Christopher, or. . . what did you say his name was going to be? I’m excited to read that one!!
Mind if I get inside my handy-dandy Star Trek beamer thingamajig and beam myself to your house to sample a cookie?
Congratulations!! And your cookies sound awesome!
CONGRATS! Send me some cookies!! lol
Yay! Enjoy those cookies!!
Congratulations! I feel like a dingbat. I was looking at the bar graph and totally ignored the column of numbers on the right.
