Burrow House: Weblogs

introducing...

I am so honored that Judy over at macca bags picked me for this award. Thanks Judy! That is so incredibly kind of you!!!

Rather than tag people to receive this award, I'm going to take a minute to tell you about two new collaborative blogs that are in their infancy. Great blogs. Soon to be famous blogs.

See, Emily and Molly have teamed up to create habit. It's a beautiful space to visit. But no, you can't live there. I've tried.

And then, Grace and Kyrie teamed up to create near:far. Wow. I absolutely adore everything this blog stands for. As well as it's authors.

So, that's my 2 cents. Hope you pay them a visit!

Call me naive, or call me stupid. I really had no idea.

See. I was playing around on the web the other day, experimenting with unfamiliar blogs, and I stumbled upon one whose entire content was dedicated to criticizing other bloggers. Well, the widely read blogs that is. Certainly not mine.

It got me to thinking (yes, I'm aware that this is not grammatically correct. It is a country-ism). I guess we do open ourselves up to the opinion of others. Fair enough. But am I a fraud and a phony because my father-in-law has a lead foot or his family business looks good on paper? If I am to be judged by MY father-in-law, bless his soul, I AM in trouble! But dedicate a whole site listing faults to bring this to the attention of others? Wow.

So here's what I thought I'd do. Just in case any of MY faults are going to send you running for the hills, here is a list of a few of them.

1. I procrastinate. If I put it off long enough, it may even go away.

2. I'm not rich. I'm not poor. I really didn't realize that either of these conditions were grounds for criticism, but apparently I was wrong.

3. I'm the funniest person I know. Where is the fault in this, you may ask? That lies in the fact that it is, in all likelihood, not true. (ex. I've read this sentence 3 times...and giggled each time)

4. My middle toe is shorter than all the others.

5. You can't see around the mountain of dirty clothes in my laundry room to tell that it IS a laundry room.

6. I've been known to yell at my children on occasion.

7. I have 11 fillings in my mouth.

8. I HATE to shave my legs.

9. I clean out my car once every 6 months.

10. And, I'm not really sure if you can forgive me for this one, but, I, I, I, I trusted the Gorton's fisherman last night to feed my children.

WHEW! That was amazingly liberating! Come on, give it a try!

Amended post! Check out this give-away that Molly is having!!! OH I want this printer!!!

(end note: I will be updating and organizing this site over the next few weeks, particularly the recipes and tutorials.)

I've been trying for AGES to tell people I'm brilliant...

Nobody really believes me, so I was THRILLED when Jessica gave me the Brillante Weblog award.

So I started thinking who I would pass it on to, and I realized that I just can't take the pressure! There are SO MANY great blogs out there! How could I POSSIBLY choose? So I've opted to give you a list of the blogs I read on a pretty regular basis. (yep, on some of these I'm a total lurker!)

Now, I think EVERYONE on this list deserves to post the award on their blog.

In alphabetical order, because there is NO WAY I could ever rank them...drum roll please...
