Kris Peterson (a.k.a. Krissy, for the Victoria readers) is, hands down, the best blogger I know.  I don&#8217;t like to admit it out loud, but she puts us all to shame.<\/p>\n<p>Reasons why Kris Peterson puts the &#8216;ogg&#8217; in Blogger:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>She updates her own blog everyday, if not twice per day.<\/li>\n<li>She comments on almost every post<\/li>\n<li>She then comments on the comments, keeping it highly interactive.<\/li>\n<li>She checks other people&#8217;s blogs and keeps me posted on whether they&#8217;ve been updated yet or not.<\/li>\n<li>She is a compelling and undeniably persuasive writer (especially in her product plugs&#8230;I may have to try that Grape wine this weekend)<\/li>\n<li>She gets after others for not updating their own blogs with friendly little jabs (or not so friendly for the seriously delinquent bloggers**)<\/li>\n<li>She posts poems for her friends on their birthdays (mine is January 6th, just in case she needs it for next year)<\/li>\n<li>She always includes photos in her posts<\/li>\n<li>I could go on&#8230;.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As you might suspect, I was hopeful that the authors at forgetful.ca might be in contention for this prestigious award, but we failed to meet one necessary critiria: There are 2+1 of us!  It&#8217;s easy to update almost daily when you have multiple authors at the keyboard.  Kris manages to keep Say Cheese current and informative all on her own.  It&#8217;s like she&#8217;s superhuman.<\/p>\n<p>So, a big thank you goes out to Ms. Peterson.  You manage to keep me constantly entertained and up to date on all things Kris and beyond.  I look forward to a long and healthy relationship as bloggers in arms.  You&#8217;ve raised the bar.  I only hope that we, at forgetful.ca, can keep up.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>*No money was exchanged in the creation of this post.
