I have a face that gives away every single emotion—it’s like my own personal billboard. Everyone can tell if I’m genuinely thrilled with a gift or if I secretly think those jeans aren’t doing anyone any favors. Honestly, I couldn’t bluff my way through a poker game, and my facial expressions have gotten me into hot water during the rare disagreements I have with my partner, Mark. It’s just impossible for me to mask what I’m feeling.
The Big Reveal
Last night marked the big reveal for the Ultimate Blogger Contest, and I was on the edge of my seat. I had my eyes glued to the screen, excited and anxious, waiting for the announcement that was due at 10:30 PM. My heart was racing, my hands were clammy, and there was Mark beside me, probably wondering if he should be concerned about my screen-refreshing obsession. Finally, the moment arrived: “The Ultimate Blogger Contest winner is Adventures in Parenting Bliss! Congratulations, Jenna!”
While everyone else was tweeting their kind words, I couldn’t help myself. I thought, if there had been a camera on me at that moment, it would’ve captured my reaction, which let’s just say, wouldn’t be winning any awards for grace.
Reflections on Competition
And let’s be real—if I had to attend some fancy celebration in an uncomfortable dress, I’d definitely need a miracle to keep it together. It’s given me a new appreciation for actors; they deserve all the accolades just for keeping their composure when someone else’s name is called. Because, seriously, it stings.
So, big congrats to Jenna. She truly deserves it. Unless, of course, that honor had come my way instead!
