so everyone gets a chance to see them and vote

[Brandi]

I can't believe so many people would vote for me. I'm a little bit in shock, honestly. I always feel like such the opposite... I feel so weak and not superhero-ish compared to so many people... so many of you.

I don't know what to say except I feel extremely honored. Really...

Are you serious?

You raise three children with suave while cooking a fourth in good time, making motherhood look like a breeze. You respect your childrens' intelligence, and don't make them feel ignorant. You take pride in your family, and in your life, and without begrudging us, you put us up and give us an online home, where we can be family. You're one of the fairest people I know; even when you're taking a personal attack, you're diplomatic and wise.

When life throws you lemons (or a lovely couch and a pizza cutter) you don't beat them to a pulp and throw them away, you add a shot of tequila and face them head on. And then post drunk, more new threads and giggly posts than ever before.

You're fun, and you don't take your Admin or Ownership position to heart and Lord over us. Heaven help me if I've ever heard you make a threat to someone based on your position. You are endearingly human, and share your faults and shortcomings just as well as your strenths, which astound me in leaps and bounds.

Truly, you are a great friend to those who have the honor of calling you such, and I never hear an ill word about your personality, or character. You are beautiful, inside and out, and I have yet to find a time I truly was hurt by something you did or said.

The boards, as a whole, would be lost without you, but because you are a friend, a confidante, a hero, not only an admin, The Admin, you are... well, Brandi.

wow Kiwi, that was AWESOME....I think you said it best

[Brandi]

Well, I was sitting here trying to think of something to say back to that but I'm not quite sure if I can. I started crying half way through it What can I say back to that? I don't know if anyone has ever said anything that nice to me before. I don't think I deserve credit for half of what you said but it means so much to me to hear some of those things from someone. You made up for my really crappy mother's day.

[kiwijus]

You do deserve credit for all of it. Tallblondie even validated it.

I don't understand how you can look in the mirror and say, "Wow, I'm a gorgeous, wonderful, talented and amazinly patient woman, who personifies Beautiful in every aspect of the word." I guess you'd have to see yourself through my eyes, though.
