Morning dew still in my eyes, I was greeted with an Excellence Award from Shauntelle at A Beautiful Abode from a comment she left on my Olive post at Daily Mug. I instantly woke up with a jolt and smiled from ear to ear after reading her comment -- and this was even before my mandatory cup of coffee. Thanks, Shauntelle!
By accepting this award, I've agreed in turn to award it to 10 blogs that I find inspiring, uplifting and ofcourse: Excellent.
For the record, my entire Blog Roll (under Web Logs) is Rated A for Awesome.

Seven from Oh My Seven tagged me for this little meme, Open Book. These are the instructions:
- Pick up the nearest book.
- Open it to page 123.
- Find the fifth sentence/phrase.
- Blog the next four sentences/phrases together with these instructions.
- Don’t you dare dig your shelves for that very special or intellectual book.
- Pass it forward to six friends.
I couldn't help but laugh upon reading the fifth rule and my right hand literally stopped groping for that *intellectual* book right about then. Hahaha. Okay, here's the fifth sentence from the 123rd page of the book closest to me:
The rules of dress -- unspoken or otherwise -- were obviously relaxed when Miranda was away, and even though every single person in the office looked fantastic, each was wearing something they would swear up and down that they'd never, ever wear in front of Miranda. My bright red, mesh sneakers were a prime example. I had broken a sweat by the time I made it back to our suite. “Ive got all the papers and I bought the magazines, too, just in case. The only thing is, I don't think I can wear these shoes, can I?”

Thanks to Amy Penrose, I learned of a fun *game* called "Pay It Forward". Needless to say, I've joined the happy chain. Taken directly from here, this is how it works:
I will send handmade gifts to the first three people who leave a comment and tell me they are interested in playing. In order to play, you must have your own blog and you must continue to ‘pay it forward’ by promising the same thing to your readers.
Now, as far as the handmade gifts go, I don’t know yet what they will be. I also don’t know when I’ll get them sent. You may not receive the gift tomorrow or next week, but I do promise that it will get to you within the next 365 days! Sound good? I think it sounds great!
Remember, I will be choosing the first three people who respond by leaving a comment on this blog post. The requirements are that you have your own blog and are willing to send out three of your own homemade gifts (whatever you want to make, no rules or limitations here).
Come on -- come out and play!
{ Update: Sent a bowl of these stars to Whitney. }
