Doling out the awards- Day 2

For today, I would like to pass on the "I heart (love) your blog award". This award was bestowed upon me by my good friends at From A Yellow House In England, Rambling Stuff, and The Natural State Hawg. Thank you for "hearting" me and I "heart" you too!

I would like recognize two blogs by passing this award on to them:

Sock1220- This is my cousin's blog and she does a good job of keeping the Louisiana SPCA in the spotlight. Keep it up cuz!

GMG Sisters- Always has some interesting content. It is supposed to be three sisters blogging, but it seems that Mabel carries most of the load.

Now, if you "heart" my blog too, please subscribe by email, RSS feed, or you can join my "fan club". If you look on the side bar, Blogger has a new feature where you can become a "follower". I am not sure if this is only for people using blogger, but I don't think so. Does anyone know?

Is that an award for me on your blog, or are you just happy to see me?

Really, folks, you don't have to bribe me with awards to read your blog... I, of course, would read your blogs anyway, 'cause they are awesome! But, seriously, I have been lucky enough to be given a slew of blogging awards recently and need to disperse them. Since it is fairly time consuming to give them out, I am going to do one a day for the next couple of days. I am going to try to give them to blogs that I have not given awards to before to share the love, so please don't take it personally if I skip you this once. I still care!

Little did you know, but you are now looking at one Kick Ass Blogger. Yep, that's what the award says and three folks are in agreement. I was awarded the Kick Ass Blogger Award by Gin at E-Pamilya, Elle at Maxwell the Tatooed Boy, and Hawg at The Natural State Hawg.
Ok, here are the rules of this particular award:

* Choose 5 bloggers that you feel are "Kick Ass Bloggers"
* Let 'em know in your post or via email, twitter or blog comments that they've received an award
* Share the love and link back to both the person who awarded you and back to Mammadawg, the inventor of this award.
* Hop on back to the Kick Ass Blogger Club HQ to sign Mr. Linky then pass it on!

Ok, here are my recipients in no particular order:

Groovy Kind of Life
That Nora Girl
It is Nap Time
Life With My Flowers
The Starnes Family

Congrats to these five and more awards to come...

I would like to thank the Blog-o-sphere!

Guess who got her first blog awards bestowed upon her today! Yep, you guessed it... me! I'm moving up the blogging ranks and have received the two awards you see below. The rules are:

1. Only 5 people are allowed to receive this award.
2. Four (4) of them are followers of your blog.
3. One has to be new to your blog and live in another part of the world.
4. You must link back to who ever gave you the award.

KIND BLOGGER 2008 AWARD
Thanks so much to Sassy Mama at Cafe at the End of the Universe for thinking I am so Kind! Now, this one is funny, because IRL (in real life), most people would not call me "kind". I'm not really known as one of those sweet girls who is nice to everybody, although I try to be. I do sometimes gossip and get spiteful on occasion. But, it is good to know that in Blog-o-sphere, I am coming across as quite pleasant.

I am now bestowing this award unto my "kindest" bloggy friends:

*Mike over at Rambling Stuff (Mike really is the kindest blogger I know. He truly deserves this award)
*AR over at Our Little Bunch (I don't know her well, but she seems like a really kind friend.)
*Bridgette at The Not-So-Blog Blog (I think it is very kind that she is showcasing N'awlins Niblets. Anything that demonstrates how great New Orleans is, is fine by me.)
*Bridget at Mama Belly Blog (She gave me my first tag. She is really kind and her mom is cool too!)
*Hari at Reflections of Darkness (this is my "lives in another part of world" winner. Hari lives in India and is very kind. He is trying to get the world to stop smoking and helps me with blogging tips.)


BLOGGING FRIENDS FOREVER AWARDThanks to Gin over at E-Pamilya for honoring me with the BFF award. I will now bestow this award unto my best bloggy friends:

*Later Gater over at What? (This is actually my friend in real life as well and I just found out she has a blog and I think she is a super cool after reading it. I'm glad I have stepped further into her world.)
*SoonerGirl at Groovy Kind of Life (She lives right down the road in Lafayette and I think her theory on using the "funnel" method to filter out men worthy of dating is ingenious.)
*Elle at Maxwell the Tatooed Boy and other Astounding Joys (I think she is cool and she leaves me good comments.)
*Wendy at The Domestiquette (She always has an interesting point of view and we would so be BFFs in real life if we actually knew each other outside of the bloggy world.)
*Lina at Life in my Own Backyard (this is my "lives in another part of world" winner from Malaysia. Lina always posts about weird foods and who else would blog about cheap hotdogs. I love it.)

So, there you have it. I have accepted my awards graciously and will try my best to live up to your now over the top expectations of my blogging skills.
