A few notes:
- BlogHop ’08 continues through the weekend and you can link posts & continue visiting party-goers into next week.
- A $10 Burger King gift card will be awarded to one of the commenters to this post (drawing on Monday).
- Check out Kelby’s party–she’s giving away some fabulous prizes!
I cannot think of anything cooler than having a few dozen bloggers over to my home for a comfy meet and greet, complete with yummy eats & drinks as you arrive, and surcies as you say good-bye. Thank you for making time for our little bloggity soirée, especially when I have Martha Stewart rolling in her premature grave from such short notice (gasp!) compounded by me asking you to "bring" something (a party post–oh the horrors!).
She’ll have to get over it if she ever finds out.
Since I s u g g e s t e d you might wanna keep your posts short and sweet to allow more time for visiting, I’ll do the same. But, before I hop off to read your party posts, enjoy some treats–most of this spread was made from recipes from Snackalicious, a Super Bowl recipe extravaganza back in January. The one recipe
I’ve gotta share is for Bacon Tomato Cups–though they’re a bit labor intensive on the front end, they’re more than worth the effort (click the name link for photos and step-by-step preparation).
The quickest way for you to get to know me is to read my sidebar’s "100 Things". Obviously it doesn’t paint a complete picture, but it’ll help you determine whether or not you want to subscribe to PENSIEVE or add it to your reader 😉 (and, you KNOW I hope you do! 🙂 ).
That’s all I’ve got for now…I’ve GOT to finish this post and get ready for our chat. Please read this post for instructions on how to join us–it really is EASY. THANKS TO THOSE OF Y’ALL WHO WERE ABLE TO MAKE IT! I’ll be revising this post in the morning with links to some other chats and parties, so be sure to check back in!
And last, I’ve gotta share the love: A HUMONGOUS SHOUT OUT to Karen, Simply…A Musing Blog and Simply Amusing Designs for her help with the stinkin’ adorable BlogHop badge and for hosting our chat at Behind the Blog! Thanks, too, for those of you who helped get the word out on such short notice (let me know if I missed your announce post in this listing, and I’ll add it as soon as possible): Fried Okra, Bunny Trails, Musings of a Housewife, World’s Greatest Mommy, 123Pizza’s Weblog, Kirtsy, and my co-lovah of fried chicken, BooMama. Y’all have my heart (not San Francisco!!)!
Link away, girlieQs! Mix, mingle and HOP TIL YOU DROP!!
I’m ready to party and I hope the dressed the blog correctly! Cheers and thanks for hosting the party Robin!
Holy cow, I don’t think I’ve ever been first for anything. I linked directly to my post, that’s what we’re supposed to do, right? Anyway, can’t wait to see more!
Ahhh… this is going to be fun. Thanks for putting this together, Robin. 🙂
YUMMY FOOD!!! I made some Spinach Artichoke Dip that you have GOT to write down, make, and try!
Glad you brought the goodies, Robin. I’ve provided the LIVE entertainment! Enjoy!! 😀
Thanks for hosting – this is fun! So much better than laying in bed watching TV.
This was great fun! Thanks Robin…I’d do the chat but I’m too exhausted to make my brain figure out the whole “signing up/signing in” thing…so I think I’ll just do some blog hopping before I fall asleep. 😉
Yippeee! I have a giveaway w00t! http://www.threeseven.ca/2008/07/their-party-vs-our-party-bloghop-08.html Come on over!
As always I’m late to the party. I missed the announcement because I didn’t even have time to look at blogs much today.
Then I spent all my time after Princess went to bed trying to create a new blog header. My eyeball are about to fall out of my head so I’m off to bed.
Have fun without me!
Robin, you sounded exactly like I thought you would. I love a southern accent! Great job creating a buzz.
Yes! I loved the accents too. Thanks again for a fun time. 🙂
That was so much fun! Thank you!
Thanks for letting me crash your party. It gave me something to live for this weekend.
🙂
Man! I always miss the cool parties!!! 🙁
Maybe next year! I really wish I could have heard you on the radio!! 🙂
This has been so fun! My hubby is working really late tonight, so it was the perfert thing to keep me entertained on a lonely Friday evening. 🙂 Thanks, Robin!
I’m showing up fashionably late 🙂 I hate I missed the chat, but I know Robin kept it entertaining 😀 Now to BlogHop!
How totally fun. I’ll do it later tonight. I have to kick myself off the computer to get some things done right now but I will be back!
You do put on a good party.
Totally great party, Robin! I just visited about 40 people’s “homes” and I’m exhausted! Thanks for the great idea.
Oh, I just can’t get off this computer. I had to join the party! Too much fun. Here’s to ya!
I just saw this last night — I didn’t think anyone would mind if the party extended through Saturday. 🙂 Thanks for hosting!
Sorry I’m late! I oversept. Thanks for the yummies! Off to hop!
overslept! Yeah, I’m queen of typos!
I would love to join you all. (I’m with you in spirit.) I’m stuck at a hotel this week and I’m using the free internet at the hotel across the street…the connection is a little sketchy at times. Can’t wait to be home by my own computer next week.
Loved reading your list of 100! Thanks for throwing the party.
Thanks for the fun party. Now we’re all having a Blog Party!
Fun, fun! I hope I’m not too late!
Oh, I forgot to ask this earlier . . . what the heck are surcies??? Is that a Southern thing?
YEAH! I still get to party here at home. Thanks for inviting all of us to this slamming party. I’m giving away some Starbucks and Chocolate over at my place so make sure to add it to your blog hop!
Just found your party through a Twitter friend! Might have to get a post up and join myself!
I’ve got to write a post! Count me in for the gift card – it takes a lot of food to feed this bunch! 🙂
Party on Girl!! What a totally neat idea!! Look how many people linked up!! Are you psyched my blogging buddy?!! Okay, I didn’t do as cool a job as the rest of the participants ONLY because I don’t know how to, BUT, I tried and I just wanted to join the Blog Hop. So, I’m off to look at everybody else’s. This should be fun. Thanks for doing this. You’re SO CREATIVE, you stinker!!
Thanks for hosting this Robin! It’s been fun and I’ve met a lot of new bloggers. Just when I think my reader is full, I find another great one!
I can’t stand being late to a party. However, I had an impromptu slumber party and I had to find a babysitter and then I didn’t have anything to wear. Well, you know the drill. Thanks for setting this up, I was feeling desperately pathetic reading all about Heather and Maggie having a great time in San Fran with champagne and what not. next year – there is always next year.
Hey there! What a happenin’ part-ay y’all got goin’ on here!
Check me out! I’ve got a giveaway even and a recipe for the best chocolate cake EVAH!
I can’t view the third column of links (just the numbers… because they cut off?)!!! Ahhh!
I wish I really COULD be at your house this weekend. Especially since you just slipped that cake in your oven.
Thank you so much for hosting this! It is such a blast to find all these blogs I never knew about. It is wonderful!
Thanks for a great giveaway too!
I found your party on http://tuttlefamilyadventures.blogspot.com/
Life is like a box of chocolates! What a fun idea.
Girl, count me in for the Burger King GC! The kids will appreciate it. I have literally hopped til I’m ready to drop! I’ve been to a lot of blogs playing along tonight and I’m done for. I had fun. You had such a neat idea. You’re such a blog queen. I would say I wish I were, but with all of the work and dedication I see it takes, I don’t think I want that. I’ll just enjoy you guys’. See ya.
I’m late to the party so I hope you don’t mind me hopping in. 🙂
I know, better late then never, but I was out playing at the mall to try to keep my mind off not being at BlogHer 😉 Off to check out my fellow BlogHer non-attendees!
I’m late to the party, but I think that this is an absolutely great idea! I’ve been in the market for some new blogs to read, and so I’m looking forward to spending some time surfing through them all.
Hope this is a better late than never party. 🙂 Thanks for hosting!
** HEY GUYS! **
THIS IS A NEVER-ENDING PARTY :)! Please feel free to write and link a post as you’re able…and be sure to visit as many of the party-goers as you’re able, k?
If you’re like me, the weekend isn’t the greatest time for blog hopping because of time with the family; if you link, I’ll visit you as soon as I can.
THANKS, Y’ALL. Have I mentioned how GRATEFUL I am for your kind R.S.V.P.s? No? What’s wrong with me? THANK YOU!!!
🙂
I’m quite the newbie in the blogosphere. But, you can head on over and have some yummy chips and salsa, a staple of life here in California!
Man, not only did I miss BlogHer, but I almost missed out on all of BlogHop’08. I shall blame it on my out-laws . . . why not they won’t catch me here 😉 Once I finish some laundry, feed the kids, and do the bath thing I hope to catch up on more. Thanks so much for doing this.
I just have to say how good those tomato bacon cups look! What a great idea.
Hi Great blog! I will try to join in later today. Include me in for that drawing on the gift cert. With three littles and a husband BK would come in handy LOL

what a neat blog! sounds like fun!
So FUN and FABULOUS that you threw a party. But so sad that we had to miss out. 🙁
Glad you got to spread the word on our site though. Being out of town and all, I had no idea about it.
Looks like a great time was had by all. 🙂 I sure did miss meeting you though in San Francisco. Hopefully we will meet very soon….
Poodle skirts were knee-length circle skirts worn over a crinoline. They were made from felt and usually had an appliqué collared animal; often a poodle on the front, with the collar winding to the waistline. White and pink were the most common colors for a poodle skirt.
