Blog Awards

I want to thank MeiBelle of Beauty is Not Caused for giving me the Blog With Substance Award! This means a lot--I was surprised to see I'm on your blogroll (yay)! The award calls for summing up your blogging philosophy, motivation, and experiences in five words.

My blogging philosophy can be summarized by these 5 words: Try to not look silly! Haha, no, you know I don't mind looking silly. The 5 real words are: Sharing; Learning; Connecting; Laughing; and Supporting (each other). Blogworld is a great community.

Like MeiBelle, I'm picky about who I follow--every blog I follow has substance. If you're reading this, I'm passing it to you and would love to see a post about your blogging philosophy--even I can manage to pay attention for 5 words! ;P


I also want to thank IamNoOne of In Between Breaks for the Lovely Blogger Award. She's been on my missing person's list, but hopefully she'll become a regular poster again.








I'm very delinquent thanking London's-beauty @ London's boutique for passing me the Versatile Blogger Award. I'm supposed to list 7 random facts about myself, but since I've over-shared here they may be things you know already.

1) I was corporal in the safety patrols--walker division, as opposed to bus division. Okay, there were no divisions. But what did the bus riding patrols do? Nothing! The walking patrols actually kept the other kids safe, making sure they waited until there was no traffic before they crossed the street. We had no crossing guards.

2) I traded a tricycle for my first bicycle.

3) I rarely drink alcohol--but that's not because I once got stuffed into a car trunk. I just never developed the habit beyond the occasional social drink.

4) The best burger I ever had came from a no-name greasy spoon that you could only get to by going down an alley. I had lunch there too often during college.

5) I like Star Trek, all of them, and I have an idea for a book. I would share it, but last week I heard a Geico commercial and I swear it was ripping off a story from my blog!!! I know it's a coincidence, but...

6) I recommend the messy fun of eating a half-gallon of ice cream outside with a tiny wooden spoon. One summer my grandmother's store lost power for two days and she decided to share ice cream with kids in the neighborhood. A too big slice of watermelon is almost as much fun.

7) Why are the A and M in RicAdeMus capitalized? To help people know how to pronounce it. The first person I shared the name with wanted to know if "re cad e mus" was an illness. LOL!

Bonus #8) As far back as I can remember, I've never missed the Charlie Brown Christmas Special. It's a tradition. I like that it contrasts the true meaning of Christmas against the commercial aspects ($10's and $20's and real estate--this makes sense if you've seen it).

All of my blogging friends are versatile, but today it's time to learn more about: Blair; Dawna; Becks; Shingo T; Roma; Karen; and Shop N' Chomp. I hope you'll accept the award and participate.
