Feeling Fabulous

So my plan for today was to launch my first themed day: Fun Fact Friday (because it has a nice ring to it, and sounded like fun.)

Now imagine my surprise and delight this morning when I received notification that I've been honored by a fellow blogger with the Fabulous Blog Ribbon. (Delighted because it is always wonderful to be recognized by other bloggers, but also because the "rules" of the award fit perfectly with the launch of Fun Fact Friday.) I always love it when things in my life just seem to click into place and support each other.

The award (which came to me from Midnight Musings - I hope you'll go check her out) says that I must now share with you 5 Fabulous Moments, 5 Likes, 5 Dislikes (aka "fun facts") and 5 Fabulous Bloggers. So here goes:
