from "Other People Exist"... who knew!

Today, the winners of the 2005 Blog Excellence Awards were announced, and we at OPE were shocked to discover that we are among the winners! We didn't even know we were nominated or that the government was permitting awards for blogs again.

We frequently nominate ourselves for weblog awards of all kinds, but we usually hear nothing or we receive a warning about multiple votes from the same IP address. Now today we discover that not only have we won a BEA, but some of our longtime blogfriends are also BEA award-winners. Make sure to read the complete list of BEA award winners, because you may be one!

We'll see all the winners at the ceremony in Fort Lee, New Jersey in March.

i totally did and i am soooo excited about it! i also talked to penelope and she is thrilled as well. Here's my first-time reaction:

I wish i was on the east coast to attend- i have to say i'm more than thrilled. although winning an award for sparkling wit would've been more gratifying- bcs the ad-age is all penelope. i will demand she tear herself away from the her 7 day old child and continue to live up to the excellence we all should aspire too.
