This is an exciting day for Lip-sticking. We must ask you, dear readers, to forgive us for not posting Tuesday's Fit by Five about Moms -- and we will also be moving the Father's Day note to Saturday, in order to bring you this thrilling announcement:

This week Lip-sticking received an Honorable Mention as "Best Niche Blog" in Marketing Sherpa's 2nd Annual Reader's Choice contest for the Web's 10 Best Blogs of 2005.

We are pleased as punch -- because YOU, our valued readers, are the reason for this recognition. YOU, our devoted readers, voted for us enough times to achieve this honor. YOU, the men and women who come back time and again to read us, deserve a very special thanks from Yvonne -- aka: Jane, and all of the folks at Windsor Media Enterprises.

THANK YOU, READERS and MARKETING SHERPA, for this most exciting honor!
