The 50 State Challenge

Okay, I have been thinking about doing this for awhile. I am dying to see if I can get a blogger from every state in the country to come forward. I did have a reader from Hawaii at one point. But she hasn't been around for awhile. Oh Oh and I did see Alaska run across my sitemeter one day and was so excited. But, yeah, she hasn't been around in awhile either. Hmmmm, was it my grammar? Oh well, you all are my friends now, and I want to know what state you are from. If you wouldn't mind, please leave a comment, even if you do so anonymously, and tell me what state you live in. I will tally 'em up and see who's got the biggest presence in this little part of blogosphere.

Then, I'm going to do state by state party post linking all the bloggers from a particular state.

I'll make dinner and serve wine or whatever, while you talk amongst yourselves and your homey's. Wanna play? Oh come on, pretty please. And, yeah, that means all you lurkers, ya gotta play along, too!

I'll go first!

Your comments so far are cracking me up. No, there won't be a bathing suit competition, but there might be a pie eating contest. In our gowns. And high heels. Go get your Spanx now.

Okay we need the following contestants:

Ms. Connecticut,
Ms. New Hampshire,
Ms. Vermont (never seen this one)
Ms. Maine (saw this one this morning. Why didn't you take your crown?)
Ms. Wyoming (might be tough)
Ms. Montana (must not have computers there)
Ms. Massachusetts (I have seen you a couple of times)
Ms. Delaware (hmmm?)
Ms. West Virginia (ooooh, I don't think I've ever seen WVA)
Ms. New Mexico ( Oh I saw you on Friday!!! Claim your crown!)
Ms. New Hampshire (Didn't you drop by in the last two weeks or so?)

    Hi yal! I'm Mrs. Virginia and I mean the REAL Virginia, not all the areas east of Winchester and north of Fredericksburg...that's just extended suburbs of Washington, yes DC.

    I live in those parts now a days but I'm a Virginia native through and through. And we live in THE best state in the BEST country in the world! We claim more VA born Presidents than any other state, we have the BEAUTIFUL Blue Ridge Mountains, and the oldest River in the Northern Hemisphere, oddily enough it's called the New River! We have beaches and bays and more History then a teacher can cover in a year! And one of my favorites... we have four REAL seasons! We get snow in winter, we have 6-8 weeks of Spring flowers, Summers that will curl your hair with the humidty and fall leaves that will knock your socks off!

    Can I just say I am a fan?!?! Somebody at the Tourism Bureau should be paying me! LOL

    Oh and my platform for this beauty contest is Whirled Peas.

    Yal come back and see us, k? I'll bring the sweet tea with fresh mint sprigs!

    Oh Debbie, I'm so excited! I've always wanted to be "Miss Oregon." This is such an honor. Fact: The first Miss America was 5'2 and weighed something like 112 pounds, kinda around my size. Can you imagine someone that short making it now in this time? Uuuuh uuuuh, no way. So, since I could never in real life enter the Miss Oregon padgent due to my short stature, I am totally thrilled for this opportunity to represent my state. I will not let them down. Thank you for asking me. This is fun. I'll take Chardonnay; thanks for offering wine. this is a celebration. Kathi

    Sheesh, I thought I'd put in my bid for Miss Illinois, but I must have gotten called away before I hit the "send" button.

    Can I please have the Miss Illinois sash? If it's taken then how about the Miss Hog Farmer crown?

    Another VA gal. Will always be a VA gal, married into a family business that covers NoVA.
    Not to bad of a place to be stuck. But I always wanted to be a Southern California girl. Oh well, it will be nice for vacations!

    I linked up on the new site, but I had to come back here and represent for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

    Where the heck are all the MA bloggers??

    Listen, I know it's been really rainy in New England lately, but I assure you we did not magically move across the country to Seattle!
