Ahh Shucks

I received the most wonderful surprise over the weekend.  And now all I can say is, “Das ist der Hammer!”

Or in other words, “Oh my gosh, oh my gosh!”

It seems while Martin was off coaching me on how to get the local lingo down (“Das ist der Hammer” literally translates to “That is the hammer”, but means “OMG”), some of you were sneaking over to Apartment Therapy to nominate Making This Home for a couple of awards.

I’m beyond thrilled.  This little site got 12th place in the “Green Home” category of The Homies 2009 – a contest all about sharing the best in home blogs.

The top six blogs in the “Green Home” category along with others like “Home Design” and “Home Cooking” are head to head for first place.  (I think the voting ends today.)  Or maybe they’re going hammer to hammer.

Either way – thanks you guys.  ”Ya Mann!”
