I work as part of the management staff in a better end retail clothing store and I have crazy hours. So last night I came home from work gave a quick check to my email before I popped open a bottle of wine to unwind from the day. Well can you imagine my surprise when I saw that Alyssa from Mom De Cuisine gave me the nicest award?! Me a Versatile Blogger?! I was Over the Moon!!!! I am new to all this and it was just the boost I needed! I have daily conversations with an inanimate object, my computer, and how it won't perform the way I want it. When in reality it is me who can't make it perform!
So Alyssa at Mom De Cuisine Alyssa THANK YOU!
So the rules of this Award is to give you all 7 random facts about myself and to pass this award on to 15 deserving bloggers! How do I choose just 15 when you are all so amazing?!
On to my Seven Random Facts
1.) I am a huge Sci Fi Geek! I love ALL things Doctor Who! I have a secret desire to dress up as Rose and go to the next Comic Con.
2.) I am also an Anglophile. It doesn't help that my nickname for my family growing up was "The Queen" and that I was taught to always use the Royal We.
3.) My husbands job moves us very frequently. I have lived in 9 states. IL, TX, TN, NY, OK, NM, KS, CA, MO. California and Tennessee are my favorite 2.
4.) As a family activity we listen to Shakespeare records and play Monopoly or Clue board games.
5.) This may not be so random as this part of my blogs name, but I have an obsession with Plaid! It must be the Anglophile Preppy thing in me.
6.) The book that defines my life is The Official Preppy Handbook and True Prep by Lisa Birnbach. On the inside front cover there is a fill in the blank section that I was able to fill out as. X-Libris
This book was borrowed from Chandra Lane Sirois who prepped at Briarcrest, after being kicked out of Evangelical Christian School, because of lack of ability to conform. True Story!!!
7.) I am madly in love with my Husband Steve and my two dogs Jefferson and Lilly!
Now for my 15 deserving bloggers!
1.) Kitchen Meets Girl My Friend and sounding board for all things food blog! Plus she has great recipes
2.) Chic Gorgeous The most beautiful blog I have ever seen and what lovely recipes!
3.) The Coach's Wifes Kitchen Fun Easy Wonderful Recipes!
4.) Fire Foodie Anyone who says they are a pyromaniac and can make such amzaing meals is A OK in my book!
5.) Mother Rimmy Great family friendly meals
6.) Kate From Scratch Great different ideas
7.) Wilde in the Kitchen a must stop in the world of food blogging!
8.) Pearl and Pine We all wish we had this woman's life!
9.) Cosmo Cookie No one and I mean No one can make a cuter cookie!
10.) That's So Michelle She loves Halloween as much as I do!
11.) The Bare Midriff So I can pretend I work out I track her 100 miles in 100 days!
12.) Fearless Homemaker She loves Martini's and food! Don't we all?!
13.) The Hairy Peach She is fun and has really nice recipes
14.) Amour Beurre Check out her site you will be glad you did!
15.) Savour the Senses She might be last on this list but she is most deffinately not least! This is a great blog!

You totally deserve the award! I love your facts. My husband and I like to play board games, but he always cheats at monopoly so I won't play him anymore. Now I'm off to check out some of these other blogs
Mother Rimmy | September 15, 2011 at 9:09 PM
I can't believe you've lived in 9 states - I've never gotten out of Bothell! I would find that very exciting, but I imagine it has its drawbacks too.
Anyway, I've really enjoyed visiting your blog, and thank you so much for thinking of passing your award along to me.
Have a terrific weekend!
