You love me.  You really do!  Or at least, Magaly does.   

Here are the rules:

1. Accept the award, post it on your blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award and his or her blog link.

2. Pass the award to 15 other blogs that you have newly discovered. 

My rebel response to the rules:

1. I accept this award, therefore have posted it to my blog with the culprit at the top of the page.   

2. I rarely discover new blogs because I limit my time on the Internet.  I’m lucky if I discover one a month and Magaly’s is the most recent.  What can I say?  Priorities.  If I have to come up with 15 new blogs, then I’ll need at least a year for that.  *sigh*

Nevertheless, I lurves my award.  Just look at how it spews with love.  Not to mention that rose tea is looking really good right now.  That a slice of delicious cake decorated in more pink roses and trim.  Then again, it’s probably the baby trying to send me a hint.  Back off, Little One.  It’s not going to happen. 

And not to be outdone, look what that wonderful Jax Cassidy has given me. 

“This award is bestowed on to blogs that are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.”

Jax, you’re just trying to get me to go all mommy-to-be teary-eyed, aren’t ya?  Yeah, I see what you’re doing.  Making me feel all ooey and gooey in the center so that I can burst out in tears and embarrass myself on my blog.  I know your game, sister.    You think because of my commitment to the craft and ability to overcome anything that my hardened exterior is going to crumble?  We’ll it ain’t.  You hear me?  *sniffle* 

As for my eight bloggers: Tivi Jones, Kathy Calarco, Magical Musings, Magaly Guerrero, Melissa Carmichael, Abigail McKenley, and Spy Scribbler.  You ladies are awesome.  I know I’m leaving some folks out because I love you all to pieces.  Perhaps my acknowledgment in Seduction on the Prowl (either that or Stripped) might fill in the gap.  There’s no way I’d be doing this if it weren’t for the support that everyone has shown me over the years I’ve been writing.  You guys make me want to keep coming back to it and I love you for it.
