KILLER NASHVILLE'S 2011 CLAYMORE AWARD FINALIST!

I don't usually post twice in one day, but I just got some GREAT news. I'm a finalist in the Killer Nashville 2011 Claymore Award Contest. The conference is in late August and I've been waiting to see when we'll relocate to Mississippi before I register for the conference. I didn't plan to go if we didn't move. After all, it's about 8+ hours away and I've given up flying. But now ... now... I think being a finalist puts a different slant on travel, doesn't it? The other finalists are listed below. I have no doubt I'm in good company. Don't their titles sound wonderful?

A finalist! ME! Killer Nashville! Pinch me!

Congrats, Jess! I'm in the same boat, as you know, but haven't decided if I'm going or not, seeing as I'm on the west coast. But if I make the trip, I look forward to buying you a drink!
