This morning as I was rubbing the sleep from my eyes (and the mascara that I forgot to take off last night), I turned on my laptop and sat down with my 1st cup of coffee (side note – today’s coffee was illy – dark & rich). I generally don’t start working online until at least 9:00 am and quite often later. I check my facebook and twitter accounts to see who’s been on and spend the morning catching up with friends, family and readers. It’s a gentle way to start the day.

I went to facebook first this morning and saw this status update from a South Florida blogger by the name of Heather Lopez.

Just an FYI, apparently CBS has joined the list of businesses opting to run voting contests among bloggers and I saw that you were nominated as one of Miami’s Most Valuable Bloggers.

WHAT?

Holy cow, my fingers did some fast walkin’ on over the the CBS site where I saw that they have 6 categories of bloggers.

• Dining/Entertainment
• Sports
• Lifestyle
• Local Affairs
• Health/Fitness Medical
• Everything Else

With this statement above it:
After much deliberation and careful consideration of many nominees, CBS Miami has narrowed the field of Finalists down for this year’s MVB. Voting for finalists is open now through September 9th. Let your voice be heard – vote now!

I quickly clicked on lifestyle…and there it was..3rd one down – Champagne Living.

Which made this Monday that should have been pretty bad (there’s a hurricane on the way and I looked up at all of the windows in the mansion and the ladder in the garage and quickly went into hurricane denial), into a GREAT way to start the week.

If you’d like to help Champagne Living win the popular vote award, you can vote daily through September 9, 2011 on the

CBS Miami Site

Thanks you!
