Jenny on the Spot was kind enough to nominate me for the Excellent Blog Award. Actually, she did it more than a month ago, so I know I look like a lazy ingrate waiting this long to accept. I apologize for that.
As part of the terms of accepting this award, I must pass on the rules:
- Identify the originator of this award, and link so she can get her well-deserved traffic. It's Kayla at Project Mommy. Great idea, Kayla!
- Pass on at least 10 Excellent Blog Awards.
I don't know if I've mentioned my RSS feed totals lately, but I'm up to 639. That makes it quite a challenge to choose award winners, so I'm going to limit myself to people I've met in person. Even so, I'm sure to leave out a bunch of great blogs, so please don't be offended if you're not on the list.
Without further ado and in no particular order, here are my Excellent Blog Award picks:
- Everyday Goddess
- Rancid Raves
- Surrender, Dorothy
- Tales from Clark Street
- Red Stapler
- Secondhand Tryptophan
- The Wonderful World of Des
- CUSS & Other Rants
- ByJane
- Not Just About Cancer
- Diva Marketing Blog
- Lip-Sticking
- Marketing Roadmaps
It's worth pointing out that with the exception of two people on the list, I met everyone else at one of the BlogHer Conferences. If you're trying to talk yourself into going, there's the best reason I can think of!
I can say amen to Rancid Raves and Tales from Clark Street--they're two I'm familiar with and love. Good call.

Well, thanks very much! Most kind of you. I'll do my best to pass on the award to worthy folks. You're already taken, though.
Hmmm, 10 more...

Well, I read byJane daily (she deserves this, good choice), and I look forward to checking out some of the others.

Average Jane you are way far from Average! Congrats! and thanks for the honor. I too met some great peeps at BlogHer (smile).

Wow, what a compliment! I echo Toby... you are far from average. Your blog is a fav...because it makes me laugh, and sometimes you post great recipes. I love this blog!

Awww thanks!
I really want to go to this year's BlogHer, but I can't afford it. So I'll be there in spirit.

So behind in my reading -- thanks so much for the compliment.
I'm in the "more than 500" feeds group too, but I always try to stop by your blog at least a couple times per week.

Hey, thanks!
I just blogged about it, which has got to be a promptness record for me. :)
