7 Facts

Filled Under: Meme

Now that I’m finally feeling better I thought it was time to do the meme Lisa tagged me for quite a few days ago. I’m sure some of these will be repeats of things I’ve already told you all before because honestly I don’t know how many times I can come up with 7 new facts about myself!

Here are the rules:

1. List these rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.

7 Facts About Me

  1. I hate audio books. I can spend months waiting for the library to get a copy of a book I really want to read because I don’t want to check out the audio book version. When I try to listen to one my mind wanders. I think it’s because if I read the book, I read it a lot faster than they do on the audio book, and that drives me crazy.
  2. I hate cleaning. I’m not a neat freak by any means. I like for everything to be organized and clean, but I’m not spending hours scrubbing every last inch of my house. If my house is clean you know my toys are broken or I’m pissed off. I tend to “super clean” when I’m pissed.
  3. As much as I really want kids, I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m happy not being a mom right now. There’s so much more I want to accomplish before I have kids running around.
  4. I love scary movies, but I’m too much of a wimp to watch them alone. Hubby hates them, so most of the time I don’t get around to watching the ones I do want to see.
  5. I have this fear of finding bugs in my food. When we go to a restaurant if I order anything like rice or something I know can be stored for awhile I’ll pick through my plate to make sure I don’t spot any bugs. It’s a weird habit.
  6. I hate shopping for clothes online. I hate going to the store, too, but if I can’t try it on I’m afraid to buy it. I’m afraid it won’t fit because everyone labels clothes so differently. I can be a M in one shirt and an XXL in another just because of my boobs and the cut.

I’m supposed to tag 7 people, but I really don’t feel like doing that right now. Instead I’m going to ask anyone who wants to steal this meme and let me know if you do! I’d love to read your answers!

Things You Might Not Know

I just got tagged by Joana and Kat for a meme, so it’s time I get on with it before I forget!

Here’s how you play: Once you’ve been tagged you have to write a blog with 10 weird, random facts, habits, or goals about yourself– at the end choose 5 people to be tagged. Don’t forget to leave them a comment saying (You’re It!) and to go read your blog. You cannot tag the person that tagged you.

Hmmm, so 10 things huh? Oh boy…what have I not already told you?

1. I loved growing up on a farm, and secretly I was really sad when my Grandpa decided to sell all his cows. I actually enjoyed looking out my kitchen window to see them out there every morning.

2. I don’t collect anime like Joana does, but I have a secret collection of cds. No, I won’t tell you who the band is because you’d definitely laugh!

3. For once in my life I have some really close female friends. I just don’t get along very well with other girls, so I don’t keep the female friends around for long.

4. I can’t stand the fact that all my guy friends seem to think I should have droves of single female friends around to hook them up with.

5. I’m seriously not happy with the fact that I think Kat sent her bitchy snowbirds up here! They’re pouring in like crazy right now driving 10mph everywhere they go.

6. I drink at least 2 gallons of tea a day. I can’t stand to not have a drink with me at all times.

7. I wish I could go somewhere and have a full makeover…hair, clothes, makeup, everything. I think it would really help me feel a lot better about myself.

8. Sometimes I still wish I were single, but I look at my husband and remember how much I would have missed without him.

9. I get this gut feeling when I meet people, and I can tell you in about 30 seconds if I think you’re shifty or not. I refuse to waste my time with fake or shady people.

10. I really don’t know who to tag this time.

Ok so who do I tag? Well I pick Lisa, Anna, Sam, Kim, and Shirley.  Now you girls know you don’t have to do this, but if you do I’d appreciate a comment back here so we can all see your answers!

A Book Meme

Filled Under: Meme

My wonderful friend Anna just tagged me for a meme. This one is definitely different because it’s a book meme, and it’s not asking you a bunch of questions. It actually requires you to do something!

The Rules:
1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people.

Here we go….

The Book- Seven Up by Janet Evanovich

Page 123 Fifth Sentence-His hair was cut very short.

Next Three Sentences- I was used to seeing him in SWAT dress with long hair, and I hadn’t immediately recognized him. I guess that was the point. “Are you in disguise?” I asked.

5 people to be tagged:
1. Lisa
2. Breezie
3. Samantha This one’s right up your alley Sam!
4. Shirley
5. Lisa #2

so, what are you guys reading?

Rule #1: Copy all the links below and replace a single link under the appropriate letter of the alphabet.

Also, don’t forget to credit the tagger, or where you got the list from, at the end of the list with a full URL of the post so that a pingback gets generated.
