I’m a little late with the recognition, but hey! I had a busy January: at least one birthday each day.

Before naming my top 5 favorite blogs, I also want to thank JH the aspiring photojournalist for bequesting me the Triple Award (the Lemonade shared with a  Best Friend from a Sisterhood).  I don’t know the guy, so this does feel a little peculiar. Why would someone give a Best Friend award to a stranger?

Anyway, thank you. I should also write down some rules and send it forward to other bloggers, but I won’t. Many of you are people I like, but still you’re strangers – I can’t call you Best Friends. Feel free to grab the Triple Award, though, and keep the thingie running.

And now, back to the own sheeps.

The January Guilty Pleasures Recognition goes to:

1. Ken Armstrong for giving me a push I needed to reach the limerick world.

2. Bad Evan for being bitter, jaded, queer and above all, modest :)

3. Ben, Turnip and Stan for pursuing, working their ass off and launching CMF Ads – the affordable advertising system for bloggers and website owners alike.

4. Fragile Heart for having that awesome blue dress and one of the most straight-forward blogs I’ve seen in a while.

5.  Valerie for taking the time to actually make people (including me) laugh.

And a special Gourmet treat to both Daisy and Harley because they remind me of my own cats and because they always put a smile upon my face.
