In need of some Nestie help...
If you have a minute 
H and I bought our house about a year ago, and around the same time we entered a contest by CSN Stores and HGTV to win a backyard makeover. We just found out recently that we were chosen as one of 150 semi-finalists (out of 13,000+ entries!), so I know it's a long shot, but we need all of the votes that we can get! Here's the website:
http://csn.pxspot.com/blahbackyard.asp
Semi-finalists are listed in alpha order by first name, scroll down to Meredith T from Towson, MD. The person with the most votes will automatically be chosen as one of five finalists, the other four (and the ultimate winner) will be chosen based on entry, photos, need, etc.
We could really use this, so thanks in advance to anyone who is willing to help us out!!
Editing to add that you have to enter an email address to vote, but CSN has told me that email addresses are only used for validation (one vote per email address), and that it shouldn't sign you up for CSN emails. If you do start getting email from them, there should be an unsubscribe link.

Done!
Good luck!

That was H's idea... I noticed that others included their kids/pets too, but Roxy is the only pet who is actually holding a sign asking for help, she's so talented
Ha ha.
Okay I need to do this. I voted on two different computers.
Wow, thanks so much again everyone!
I just checked and there are several people who have 200-300+ votes, but I just sent out the info to everyone yesterday because I was out of town, so I'm hoping to catch up a little over the next few days. If we aren't in first place that's OK, I still think that we stand a chance because we sent 20 photos that show how bad our yard is! I'm just hoping to get lots of votes to get CSN/HGTV to notice our entry when they select the other 4 finalists.
you got it!
good luck!
