Sick thank you’s and links of the week

First I’d like to thank everyone who voted for Lost In Cheeseland for the Love This Site! Awards. Truth be told, I only found out about it a day before the deadline, so 11 votes in one day isn’t too shabby! I’ll try again next time around. Second, thank you to my new francophile blogger friend Andi over at Misadventures with Andiwho link to my last post on the growing gurth of the French and is currently running amazing giveaways. I better win the Julie & Julia dvd! I didn’t get a chance to see the movie when it came out!

I’ve been sick with a pretty wicked cold all week and it hasn’t shown signs of clearing up which means my brain is a hazy jungle of “sniff sniff ahhhhh” and “arghhhh”, not really conducive to getting inspired and/or writing anything even mildly insightful. Instead, I leave you with some of my favorite links of the week! If you’re on the East coast, US enjoy the snowy, slushy weather! If you’re in Paris, stay warm and dry inside! Happy Sunday….

Le Parisien, better to read one than meet one! (Hilarious ads!)
