Get Happy

This morning I woke up all stiff and sore, muttering curse words under my breath.

Before a hit and run driver whacked two other cars into mine on Thursday night, I was really looking forward to this weekend and a visit to the race track and a graduation party. My neighbors also are interested in getting a dog and I had promised I would go to the shelter with them, too.

Instead, Middle Daughter and I have spent the whole weekend on the couch timing doses of muscle relaxers, pain killers, ice packs and heating pads.....grrrrr!!!

But then I grabbed my coffee and opened my e-mail. Not only did I cease my hushed string of profanity, I squealed with happiness. If I could jump up and down, I would do that, too!

My blog has won a "Best Blog of the Day" award from (you probably guessed) The Blog of The Day Awards! How cool is that?

Here's what they wrote:

"A Blog of the Day Award goes to Life is RANTastic! Reflections of a Rock Chick

Jessica is doing the most important job in Chicagoland and she aspires to aquire A-List Blogger Status (like us - Famous Bloggers)



Please visit her and help her achieve stardom."

See? They even threw in the A-List graphic just to get me extra excited!!! Right now, I am a "B-List" blogger. To get the A-List, you need a Technorati score of 500 which basically means that 500 other blogs have linked to yours in the last 6 months. Right now my score is 426. Almost there!

Make one more spot "blogging elite", here I come!!

Thank you, Famous Quotations, you've made my day!
