Shine on, you crazy diamond

Somehow in the past week I was bestowed the following award not once but twice -- first from the lovely Miss Heidi at Life in Pink and then from Mel at Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Your Boyfriend as part of Penis Tuesday, which came with probably the best award description: "Penis? No. But sometimes I think she has bigger balls than any of you." Love it.


I looked it up. Brillante = Shining; Premio = Award.

So, the drill is to pass it on to seven fabulous bloggers. I'm going to honor blogs of seven modern gals that I've recently begun reading. Stop by and check them out!

1. Cleveland's a Plum, who I imagine is super fun to party with, though I don't know if I could keep up with her.
2. Confessions of a Cohabitant. I wish I'd found her sooner, namely when I was cohabitating with the Modern Beau. I might have learned some tips!
3. The Everyday Adventures of Me in the City. A smart gal and a member of my favorite blogging posse: the Chicago bloggers. Chibloggers? Plus she loves Kathy Griffin too!
4. The Grammar Vandal's life work is something that's near and dear to my heart: striking out poor grammar one misplaced comma at a time.
5. Nutty Cow, who's helping me stay honest as we try to drop a bit of weight.
6. Play More, Laugh More, Live More. She's got a sunny disposition on life, and that puts a smile on my face.
7. Wannabe Reality Superstar. She's not new to the blogworld, but this blog is! She's got a heart of gold and there's hardly a dull moment with her.
