600 bonus points to the first blogger who can name the movie this post's title is from... (I'm looking at you, Tiny, ya hear me?)

So I've won a pair of blogging awards recently (okay a little while back) and just haven't gotten around to posting about them. Figured it was time and my apologies for the delay...

daily blogger

First up, that chattie kat of a blogger Tish was kind enough to toss me the happiest li'l badge I've ever seen, the Daily Blogger Award. According to the creator, this one is "given to blogs that have at least 5 posts per week (one per day, give or take.) These bloggers get up every morning, get their creative juices flowing, and start unscrambling the alphabet into words, sentences, and phrases. Rain or shine, just like the postal service, they are hard at work delivering their messages to you."

Thanks very much for the recognition, Tish. I do try to post every day, barring weekends (gotta actually spend some time with the kids, right?). So it's nice to know at least 1 person is reading my stuff for more than 1 day in a row. Heh.

To keep this one moving, I'm going to pass the award on to the following daily grinders:

Danielle of Pink Internet Marketing

Sarah and Wendy from Awesome (Sorry, ladies. You'll have to share the award...)

Cathy from Chief Family Officer

And more recently, Tish tossed me the Nice Matters Award:

nice mattersAccording to the Award's creator, this one is "awarded to those that are just nice people, good blog friends and those that inspire good feelings and inspiration! Those that care about others that are there to lend support or those that are just a positive influence in our blogging world!"

Tish being the rebel that she is noticed, "the award is floating around from female to female, and judging from the design of the award itself, I suppose I can see why. Being the wild and crazy gal I am, however, I have decided to bestow this prestigious honor upon a couple of very deserving male bloggers as well."

nice matters menPersonally I think she knows exactly what she's doing and is trying to bring out the feminine side in all of us men. So if you'll excuse me, I'm off to shave my legs, get oggled by men, and maybe get a facial or two. (Would that make me 2-faced? Sorry, couldn't resist). I'm kidding of course and once again appreciate the recognition. Maybe we can get somebody to change the pink to black, the shoe to a football and the roses to corn dogs. The ribbons can stay...

Oh wait! Stop the presses! It seems there is finally a male version of the award, so I'm not waiting for the judges to swap 'em, I'm just gonna post it right here for myself. So there! Aww, look at the cute widdle puppy with a top hat! I'd still rather have a football, but dogs in hats are a hoot, so I'll just say thank ye kindly.

Now to keep this award moving, I present the funky fresh Nice Matters Award to the following non-spammers:

Doing it the Tiny Bellows Way

Jo of Life With Heathens (Yeah, she may cuss. A lot. But "she's good people.")

Dee from Don't Be Shy
