Refresher Course on Voting

I can't help it. Every day I click over to check how Virginie's doing in the big Pantene Ambassadrice contest. At the moment I checked today, she was only 10 points ahead. The other day, she was a hundred points behind. She's neck-and-neck with Sandrine. It's going to be a close one, folks.

And let me just commiserate with those of you who have had trouble voting: Sacre Bleu! Zut, alors! (two mild exclamations of frustration) It's been hard to figure out the whole click-n-vote thing.

The best thing I've found is to:

1) click on one of the left bars that says: "Voir les candidates"

The three lovely ladies' head shots appear with current votes.

2) Then click on the subcategory with an arrow pointing at it that reads: "Voir les finalistes et voter"

Underneath each of the head shots is the word "voter." That's when I check three times to be sure I'm looking at Virginie, so that I don't do what Jenne accidentally did and vote for one of the others. Then when I'm absolutely sure, I click "voter" for Virginie and watch her number increase one vote.

3) Then I feel very proud of myself and go eat a Belgian chocolate.

P.S. Virginie's husband wrote to thank me/us for supporting Virginie and the Burundi cause.
