Wow, so I recently received my first blogee!! Thank you so much to Bad Hausfrau for the honor. I'd like to thank, well, the kids because this really is my kids' blog and my husband for "going to office so we can have toys" (as P likes to say). I've really had a great time writing this and I love the fact that readership is slowly growing. And comments, i LOVE comments.
In order to receive my award, I must:
1. Thank and link back to the person who awarded you this award.
I love you Bad Hausfrau, I love you. Seriously, I highly recommend checking out Kelley's wonderful blog, lots of great links and fun stuff over there.
2. Share 7 things about yourself.
Ugh, so this is harder. I wish I was more interesting. Here goes:
*My absolute favorite food is tabule. I eat it by the gallon.
*My favorite nonfiction book is The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals
, which changed my life. My favorite fiction books are probably The Coast of Chicago: Stories
and A Bend in the River
(I think, maybe, ugh, there are so many). *I used to have a doberman/boxer/mutt named Dostoevsky and I still miss him very very much.
*I'm named after Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice (Restored Edition)
*I don't think I've ever watched an entire football game.
*My guilty pleasure is Us Weekly (6-month auto-renewal)
, I even have a subscription.*I'm addicted to silver hoop earrings and have been for years.
3. Award recently discovered great bloggers.
*KidFriendly DC
*Go Out and Play!
*A Passion for Play
*Charleston Newbie
*Schlitzohren
*Jelly Jar Daisies
*un arc-end-ciel dans le lavabo

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE!! I WOULD ADD SOME LINKS, BUT I THINK THE 10 BLOGS LISTED ABOVE ARE ENOUGH ENTERTAINMENT TIL MONDAY!!
Thanks so much for the mention! SO nice to meet!

How AWESOME you were named after Mr. Darcy!!! I was named after a soccer player who ended up in prison for life... :-/
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Darcy... Your blog is just wonderful. C really needs to thank you a lot. There were many times that we were so bored and your ideas saved our days... :D
Keep up the good work... ;-)
My pleasure! You were named after Mr. Darcy?! I LOVE that!!
ReplyDeleteAn award??!! Awww... shucks. A bunch of thank yous to you! Your blog continues to inspire me and make me laugh while revelling in the pleasures of motherhood and just plain doing the best we can. I'll be sure to pay this award forward when I manage to fit it into the craziness this weekend.
ReplyDeleteCatch you later, (Mr.) Darcy.
Thanks for awarding me! I'm flattered! I've never watched an entire football game either, and neither has my husband. We didn't even turn on the super bowl. I don't think we're missing anything! ; )

You like me...you really like me! (My blog, anyway.) Mucho thanks for the award. Your blog deserves some major props, too - it's awesome!
ReplyDeletethank you Darcy !!! I'm honored to be on this list & this is so very nice of you ! I'm happy to start the weekend (TGIF night) with this & even happier to go visit your blog (my turn now !)
ReplyDeleteCongrats Darcy! You deserve it...I love all your ideas and posts!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone for all the support and comments!
ReplyDeleteYay Darcy, that's awesome!! I forgot about your love of tabule, we could have made some... Congrats!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so proud of you! Seriously, you rock!
ReplyDeleteAnd the reason A asked whether you still like taboule last week is because, for me, the smell of taboule will always remind me of sharing that cold house with you during our last semester, when you did eat it by the gallon. :)
It's sort of funny, after I came home I was telling Dan how I don't eat tabule anymore and he said "um, you just make it with quinoa now but otherwise it's the same thing" and i realized that he's right. that's a lot of tabule in the last ten years. a lot.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Darcy, and right back at cha!
ReplyDeleteFunny. You linked to Schlitzohren and I found your blog. Thank you. We share the love of tabule.
