"These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly written text into the body of their award."I love how it says "cleverly written." Who wrote this cleverly written text above? Is that how it works? If I say something I have written is clever, will you believe me?
I'm sorry for being so catty. I really do appreciate this award. I love making new friends in blog land. I love people who express themselves honestly in their blogs and real life. I love reading about your lives, learning about your families, and learning more about myself as I communicate with you. Thank you, all of you, for being my friend! Because I hate singling out eight people, and leaving out others who I sincerely believe deserve this award, I bestow this award upon all of you who comment on this post.
P.S. I know I said I would be posting less often. My husband even teased me on New Year's Eve: "You have to go get something ready to post? SURE you are cutting down. Just to once a day." But really, starting next week I will be posting less often. I think. I'm pretty sure. Probably.

thank you for expressing yourself honestly. I love seeing comments left on my blog. Thank you.
Great award and I don't like to name people also because I too want everyone to have an award.
Your list of resolutions are good ones.
You could goto the video store and rent the LOST series if you can't find someone who has it.
Yay for awards! Isn't Shanna sweet? Hopefully I can talk to you tomorrow. Do you have free weekends?
The text of this award sounds VERY similar to the text for that award that's written in Portuguese (I think)
"This blog invests and believes, the proximity. They all are charmed with the blogs, wherein the majority of its aims are to show the marvels and to do friendship; there are persons who are not interested when we give them a prize, and then they help to cut these bows; do we want that they are cut, or that they propagate? Then let's try to give more attention to them!"
So similar, in fact, that I believe someone has just corrected the awful translation of that other award, and tagged it on to this one. Or however. Somehow they're connected. Very interesting!
Okay, first of all, I am both amused and confused by the Portugese translation above. Funny!
Second off, I am glad you did not tag anyone (me) with this, because even though I may kindof deserve it, the energy tagging takes is saved only for special subjects. ANd days I have nothing to ramble about on my own, Okay then.
Happy New Year!
Congrats on your award!!!
stoppin by from blog stalkers to say Hi
Cool! An award just for commenting! Maybe I'll take out the clever part, just for fun. That's what writers do, right? Tweak and revise? :D
I;m glad you posted this because I forgot to add it to my sidebar!!
And you are an awesome blog friend!
Cute award from friends and a very funny husband you have.
Neat! You are a fun blog pal...
Hey! You leave for Paris in 2 months!!! WHOO HOO!
You deserve this award!!
Psssh posting less is overrated!
I think i'm posting less.... Maybe this little phase will pass and I'll be back into blogging every day to every other day.
Congratulations on your award!
Every other day I tell myself I'm going to quit blogging or at least not post so often. It hasn't worked yet.
I'm commenting to say how cute, not b/c I want to claim the award. I am terrible about passing them on, truly, jus' turrible (as my 92 yr old grandfather in law likes to say). Blog less, we will still come when you do. Courage! I'm going to try to blog less, too.
Hey Erin, thank you so much for the bread recipe! I can't wait to try it... as soon as my experimental bread is done that is! Have a great day!
I'll take the award when I get around to it.
That sounds bad, but I'm so tired right now.
But you definitely deserve the award!
I always enjoy checking out your blog.
Glad you blog. That is funny that Mr C even comments on you blogging. I don't think my husband has looked at ours 5 times!!
What are your resolutions and are they attainable. HUMMMMMMMMM I'm just gonna say don't really try posting less often. PLEASE.
I love coming here and reading. I loved your resolutions. Mine is to eat healthier and pass it along to Olivia. To much processed.
What a cool award, thanks friendly friend! I have tried to walk away and I'm afraid it just aint happening anytime soon. Good luck with that endeavor.
I hope you don't cut down on your posting too much. I enjoy your blog and really appreciate your comments. Congratulations on your award.
Hello again!
I just have a couple questions about the recipe you gave me:
1. One point five lb.s or 2 lb on the bread?
2. Do you usually put the setting on 'basic'?
I know our bread machines might be different. But I just put the ingredients in and did 1.5 lb and basic... now I'm just crossing fingers it turns out nicely. =)
I'm kind of with you on the blog award thing. I appreciate the honor of receiving an award, and people acknowledging me, but I hate the pressure of having to pass it along. I feel like I'm annoying people with it or something.
Don't ask me why, but I don't feel that way about tags. Sort of.
By the way, I just looked at your profile randomly, and can I just say, I AM ALSO A FRANCOPHILE!!!!!! No seriously! I've been 3 times now. I love France. My sister-in-law is French (but without the accent because she was raised in France and in California), and her parents JUST moved from outside Paris to Sacramento again. I'm just like, but who am I supposed to visit???? Booo. I've actually been to northern, central, and southern France, but I really really really want to go to the Alps! Like the Alsace and Lorraine region because my family is from there!
This is so random. I just wanted to tell you that I'm a Francophile as well.... I NEED to go back soon! But I can't since I am in grad school, have no money, have nobody to visit there, don't speak the language, and have no TIME for it. I'm sad. I cannot WAIT for your pictures!!!!
And the comment is over. Sorry about the essay!
Can you just take a short trip to Giverny while you're there? Just for me? It's in my top 10 of places I've been. I loooovvveee it. And I'm kind of sick with envy right now! Oh gosh, I'm looking at a map of France. NOT a good idea when I'm feeling so bored and restless! bleech I need to get off the computer!
Congrats on your awards!
