I’ve been given an award! I’m a kick-ass blogger!

Many thanks to XUP for the honour. Her blog is always thought-provoking and entertaining — check it out now!

Blog awards like this are kind of like chain letters, in that there are always rules that say you have to pass them on. So in accordance with this particular award’s rules, I shall now pass this award on to five other kick-ass bloggers that I love:

• Andrea at a peek inside the fishbowl inspired me both to find new ways to be environmentally friendly (hello, my beloved reuseable produce bags!) and to buy a fancy new camera to try to take pictures that are at least half as good as hers (which I am loving, best purchase ever!).
• Lissa at FlyTurtleFly writes some of the most beautiful poetry I’ve ever read — I’m not one for poetry in general but she never fails to move me. Plus she blogs about So You Think You Can Dance.
• Beth at Life. Not Terribly Ordinary. If I had to live my life over again, I’d be a doctor, and Beth is living that dream. But whether she is writing about doctoring or about her husband’s cooking, it’s always riveting.
• Beck at Frog and Toad is a great writer and always has interesting things to say. Her recipe blog and food column are good reads, too.
• Lastly, my good friend Sinnick is the guy that got me into blogging, and is still the first blog I read every day. He says the stuff that I think, only better.
