Well guys, here it is. My second ever attempt at a linky party. I really hope you all can make it.
After my shameless begging Friday, I hope you don't feel too embarrassed for me to show up. Remember, if you blow this off I have to wear black clothes and a black veil that hides my face in shame for all eternity.
And please, think of the children. How terrible would you feel if your child invited his whole class to a birthday party and nobody showed up?? Imagine the wilted balloons, the uneaten cupcakes, the saddy crushed little face. Stained with tears. Tears guys.
Please don't sentence me to a lifetime of black clothes. And a tear-stained face. And a black cloud of shame.
Anyway! In honor of Valentine's Day, I will provide you with a smattering of the highly random 14 Things That I Love, in no particular order:
Grand pianos. One day I will have one of these in my house. And it will be cherry wood.
Libraries. There is just something about a building full of books...
Old lamps. Is that weird?
Rock walls. Just imagine all of the hard work that went into creating those things...
Covered bridges. This might sound odd, but these make me think of romance and lovey dovey stuff. There aren't too many of these left out there either...
Cupcakes. Need I say more?
Clinique make up. Somebody at Clinique did me a solid when they finally made the moisturizer with an SPF in it.
Double sinks in the bathroom. Because there is just never enough space when everyone wants to brush their teeth at the same time.
My sewing machine. Even though it is dusty more often than not, I like that I know how to use it.
Pure jill comfy cropped pants from jjill. I live in these.
Mercury Glass. I am an admitted glass lover. And mercury glass is so, so pretty.
Fireplaces. Warmth, coziness. Nothing better than that.
Slippers. Warmth and coziness on my feet. Ah.
Lists. Lists mean almost everything to me.
And one last Bonus thing that I love. For good measure:
Post-its. These squares run my life and help my early onset memory loss. Probably one of the greatest inventions of all mankind.
OK! That was fun! So now is your turn to share! To show me that you love me as much as I love you!
Oh no. I just said the L word. Out loud.
Well. That was awkward. What if it was just me misunderstanding the signals all of this time? Oh my Cod. What if you don't love me back??
Now this just feels like ninth grade all over again. I am having palpitations. I think I need a therapist.
So I got this really nice blog award from Deni, and the rules of acceptance are that I have to share 5 interesting things about myself and also that I have to share this award with five deserving bloggers.
So first, THANKS for loving my blog Deni! It's really nice to know that actual real live people read and semi enjoy my rambling and sometimes long-winded irrelevant posts.
So, hm. Five interesting facts. Hm.
(one) I like crabs legs and lobster. To eat I mean.
(2) I can't stand the smell of musky perfume/cologne. It makes me want to gag.
tres. I want to take a course or three on photography.
4. I love finding cool and interesting pieces of glassware. Especially old Fire King, Pyrex and carnival glass.
[cinco] I think I want to enter a half marathon. Shoot me now.
So there you have it. Unfortunately, five rather mundane facts. I couldn't come up with anything too interesting.
So I have an abundance of blogs that I read and love daily, so narrowing it down to just five is impossible. But I will do it. I think I am going to go with my favorite five newest blogs. I mean new to me. As in I just started reading them. I will inform them of my blog love at some point soon.
In the meantime, I guess I will share with you five (of the hundred or so) blogs that I love:
Sunnyside Up Erin is a mom and wife and she just seems to have such a sunny and cheerful way about her. Plus she takes really nice pictures.
Pistols and Popcorn Apparently, Jodi has been around for a bit. I can't believe it has taken me this long to stumble upon her blog, but I love it.
Mommy Wants Vodka Aunt Becky will make you laugh pretty much every day. What I'd like to know is where has she been all my life?
Raising Colorado Zakary is a squirrel lover. And even though I am not, I still think she writes some pretty great posts.
Bungalow56 Dana is great. I love reading about her family. And she takes some pretty great pictures too.
