A Couple Awards...

I don't really have much to say today... just one of those days I guess.

Well, to begin with - I have recieved another award, and this time it comes from the sweet Cardiogirl. She blogs about her every day struggles in life, and is one of the most openly honest and interesting bloggers around. It means a lot to me being given an award from her. You ROCK Cardio!

This is what this award stands for - according to what Cardiogirl posted over on her blog:

The Daily Dose Award is for “all the blogs that you’ve discovered that you can’t possibly live without. They make you laugh, cry, think and feel connected every time you read a post. They give you a thrill as you see them loading into your browser and you get an equally satisfying thrill when you see that they have commented on your blog.”

Well, I've been doing some thinking as to whom I should pass this award on to - and my final decision is as follows (as usual this was a very hard process, and I'm sorry if you feel left out... it doesn't mean I don't love you!).

Emmeline at Why The Sky Is Blue...
Her ongoing series about the Sports Fan, and the history of her love life was one of the inspirations that got me started on Rubicon Heart. I love her openness and appreciate that she's decided to share that story with us all. She will always be supportive and give encouraging comments here on my blog as well.

Leighann at Pessimists Need Love Too
You never quite know what you will stumble upon when entering Leighann's corner of the blogging universe. It may be outrage, cynicism, sarcasm, nudity, vampires... and lately she even dares bleed a little from time to time. Wonderful place to visit if you haven't been there. Loyal and entertaining commenter here on Ramblings Of A Madman, as well.

Sparkling Red at No More Casual Nonchalance
A blog that I feel has grown a lot of late, and she will always keep your eyes glued to the screen as you read about her parents divorce and the trials and tribulations of every day life. Another one of those whose comments on my blog always makes me happy.

And, I was also given this award from Jen over at Tales From A Texaconsin Diva. Actually, she said that those of us who continually comment and read her blog were all deserving of the award, and that it was there for the taking... so I took it. Thanks, Jen! It's always a pleasure to read your blog.

So, I won't really be passing this one along either. I will let you know, though, that if you are a loyal commenter, and you feel that you DO make my day (which all of you loyal commenters do) - well, then you're welcome to flaunt this award on your sidebar - or wherever you prefer showing off your trophy case. My blog would be nothing without all of you!

Finally. Don't forget about the Picture Fiction Challenge, which is due on the 20th of February. You have until the 23rd to post your story... but it is recommended you get it posted on the 20th, so that we all have ample time to get on over to your blogs and read what you've come up with. I'm just so excited to see what you make from the pictures, and what direction your stories have taken.

Tomorrow is "Funday Sunday" which took a break last Sunday on account of the monthly feature "3rd". I don't yet know what I'll post to tickle your funny bones - but hopefully I'll come up with something hilarious.
