On my way home from the beach yesterday, I happened to pick up a little something to bring back to my house with me:

Not only do I have Avi for the next week, but we’ll be going tomorrow morning to get MacKenzie, too!  A solid week with my two favorite girls — could life get any better?  Tomorrow is the day I’m planning to ask you to tell me all your mothering secrets in the comments, so get ready to spill it, y’all!

Well, I think you know what is next: WE MADE IT TO THE FINAL ROUND!  Y’all.  Y’ALL.  You just don’t know how big of a deal this is to us… we are out of our minds excited about the fact that our group has made it this far on The Sing-Off. I had some of my college girls over last night to watch (we LOVED live-chatting with y’all, by the way!) and, when they announced that we made it to the final round, all five of us began jumping up and down in my living room so much that the following happened:

That’s right: we broke a decorative platter.  BUT IT WAS WORTH IT BECAUSE WE’RE IN IT TO WIN IT.

Now, I hate to ask favors but, in this case, I HAVE A FAVOR TO ASK.  If you liked our group (or, hey, if you just like me) would you please take a second to vote for them?  There’s a recording contract and $100,000 on the line here, so I think you can understand why I’m willing to ask y’all for a wee bit of help — $100,000 could do a lot for us!

Here are the three ways you can vote:

1. Text your vote now!  Text the number 3 to 33088; you can vote 10 times per cell phone.

2. Call in your vote!  Call 1-877-674-6403 from any land line, cell phone, etc.  You can call 10 times from each phone number.

3. Email in your vote!  Go here to select “Voices of Lee” and enter your email address for the chance to vote.  You can vote 10 times from each email address.

Thanks for humoring me, y’all.  And now please excuse me whilst I walk around my office today saying “WE’RE IN IT TO WIN IT” as many times as possible.

Because, and I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before or not but, WE’RE IN IT TO WIN IT.
