I never win anything. And yet, thanks to a new friend-through-blogging, I feel as though I have. I will spare you all the ramblings of an impromptu acceptance speech, but now, as per the bloggy award rules:
*Thank the blogger who has awarded me and link back to them
*Share seven things about myself
*Pass the award along to 15 other newly discovered blogs
A BIG thank-you to the lovely Ms. Clay at http://12hourstobedtime.blogspot.com/
So seven things about me- it may be hard to do this without repeating things I have already posted. Hmmm.
1. I am Canadian. I have lived in the U.S. for 15 years, but I am still Canadian.
2. I have had 5 babies, at home, all with the same midwife. I consider these to be some of the greatest blessings of my life.
3. I lived in Belgium for a summer when I was 19. I spoke fluent French, ate the best bread, cheese, and chocolate of my life, and had a wild terrifying ride in the back of a police car when I took a day-trip to Paris. I did nothing wrong, but was guilty of being a cute 19 year old that these two policiers just had to help. I think one of their phone numbers is still floating around in a photo album somewhere...
4. I was a full-time actor up until I had kids, and at some point hope to get back at it.
5. I am a nearly 16-year vegetarian. During this time I have experimented with veganism, and raw foodism, but I'll always be a veggie-head.
6. I had never driven a stick shift or pumped my own gas by the time I got married. Both things changed fast.
7. I was a Highland dancer for a few years growing up. I was quite good, won several medals, but sprain-prone ankles finally did me in.
Here's my list of 15 blogs to whom I will pass this award. They are not all brand new, but they're some of what I regularly read:

I could add more, but some folks have private blogs, and I must spend time on other things today. Everybody should have a blog. And write on it often. Hint, hint.

Dude. I didn't make the list.
(I'm private and you haven't seen me for like five years - what did I expect? Hehe. But some of your favorites are my favorites too!)
No harm done.
You're private. That's the ONLY reason why you're not there. I read whenever you post. :)
Oooh I'm on your list! I'm honoured! I've never won anything either (although I enter the lottery every week, just in case my luck changes!) Thanks for reading my blog. I'm just having a read through yours too :)
