It does, doesn’t it? Have its rewards, I mean. Sure, it’s not always easy to find the time to blog and we don’t always feel like cranking out a post. Sometimes our blogs go neglected until they’re collecting cyber cobwebs and our faithful readers e-mail and tell us something like: “hey, you haven’t updated in a week/month! When are we going to get a new post?” And so we feel guilty that we’ve let life get in the way of our passion for the blogosphere…

If only there were more hours in the day we could spend loads of time writing blog posts, visiting and commenting on other fantabulous blogs, and even discover new ones we never knew about. But life is busy and hectic and crazy and sometimes it has to come first, regardless.

I know you wonder where all my rambling is going. It’s going somewhere, I promise. This Arte Y Pico award, the one you see in this post, was presented to me by Grandy, over at Functional Shmunctional. This lady is amazing. Since the first time I visited her blog, I knew I’d have to return again and again. Her posts are like Pringles–you can’t have just one! I love this lady. She’s brilliant and her posts reflect her colorful personality beautifully. There’s never a dull moment with her and I’m just so honored to have crossed cyber paths with her.

When she presented this award to me, here’s what she had to say:

Michele over at Writing the Cyber Highway ~ This lady can really make you think, and feel. Isn’t that what writers do? Well, Michele will make you put the words into a sentence and push you to get the words written. She is quite a mentor and cheerleader to me. Thank you sweets!

Ah… *wipes tears*

Thanks so much, Grandy! Even as a creative writer, I can’t find the right words to express my gratitude and appreciation. Thanks, blogging buddy. You’ve made my day!

I can pretty much guarantee (if you like hilarious entertainment) that you’ll want to subscribe to her feed. She doesn’t have a lot of confidence in her writing abilities yet, but I personally think she’s quite talented and knows how to captivate her readers. She’ll keep you hanging on every syllable ’till the very end of the post and you just have to jump right in and comment. She responds to every single comment she gets–and they’re usually always in the double digits!

One of the rules is to give this award to five other bloggers. Since I try to keep up with about a gazillion blogs and I’m not quite sure who already has it, feel free to grab it up and post that I gave it to you. Just be sure to come by and leave a link to your post in the comments so I can check it out! And to anyone who has given me an award and I haven’t posted about it, my sincerest apologies. I’m not the best at remembering and posting about these things. But this one grabbed my heart. I knew I had to accept this award because Grandy’s words about me were just so sweet and touching.

Here’s to awards for writing the cyber highway!

See, we still have the same vibrant header. You should feel right at home! Kick your shoes off and stay awhile. Help me break my new home in.

Yes, I’ve talked about it, teased about it, flirted with it, and now it’s time to actually do it–move to WordPress, that is! Yes, we’re moved in and just have a few last finishing touches to complete. This blog’s new home is on the other side of the cyber highway. You know that big ole stretch of country called WordPress. The grass is greener over on this side, I hear. Thought it was high time to find out if it was true!

I’m still figuring everything out, but I’m actually loving it so far. Don’t forget our new address. Subscribe to my feed so you can find out what’s happening in our new neighborhood….

See you soon!

Don’t forget, I’m still writing the cyber highway. I’m just living on the other side of Blogger!
