Saved by a meme
Posted on | November 15, 2007 | 9 Comments
I was tagged with a meme for 7 random things about me, and since it is Thursday night and I’m exhausted, but I’m stubbornly not quitting NaBloPoMo, a meme is all you get:
* I’m a stomach sleeper.
* I feel guilty because I have never put photo albums together for either my wedding, or Bean’s first year.
* I have a weird, bordering on frenzied, dislike for any lettuce or leafy green that becomes black and slimy.
* I contributed to NPR for the first time this year, and felt very pleased with myself.
* I get nosebleeds in the winter time.
* I’ve been in bars, but I’ve never sat at the counter and ordered a drink or carried on a debaucheries conversation with a hot bartender.
* In high school and college I was a swimmer. In the past year I’ve been in a pool exactly once. This depresses me.

1. My Nana told me that the small mole on my check was my “mark of beauty” and because of it she would always be able to find me.
2. My sister’s name was Melody and she literally wrote the melodies and I wrote the lyrics.
3. The sound of the ocean soothes my soul like nothing else on this planet.
4. I want to create scrapbooks for each of my three grown children so that when I’m gone they find something special I made for them to carry into the future…
5. I’d like an IPod for Christmas.
6. I need some time off because I’ve “dissolved” to the point of concern.
7. My dreams are changing and the transition feels awkward.

1. My hair wasn’t curly like this until after I moved to Sweden.
2. I’m addicted to emoticons, but only 3 of them:
3. Getting up in the morning is the last thing I want to do. Sleeeeeep!
4. It gives me a thrill to be the person people come to for help.
5. I can really, really REALLY do without girl drama in my life.
6. Not being able to have furry pets makes me so sad.
7. I always have a hard time thinking of the last random thing, but this time, I wrote it first!

I just wanted to comment on the swimming thing. I too was a competitive swimmer growing up and just got back into the pool to actually swim laps last summer. It took along time, oh about 10 years of me not wanting to swim, just floating around in pools. Don’t be depressed about it, if you get the urge to go for a swim just do it and see that you’ve still got it. (except i didn’t try butterfly- i don’t think i’ve still got that one!)

Yay for you for contributing to NPR! Way to go!

1. I like to look at scrapbooking books and magazines more than I like to actually scrapbook….no mess involved or kids getting into stuff
2. I have a love-hate relationship with my cell phone (sometimes it feels more like a leash)
3. I don’t like coffee but I drink hot chocolate with marshmallows about daily when temps dip below 50.
4. I am addicted to Law & Order and ER and love the familiarity of a long-running series.
5. I long for time away from my kids but I can’t handle to be away from them more than 24 hours and talk about them the whole time I’m gone.
6. There is a dirt road near my parents farm that I love to walk on whenever I can. It’s a place to contemplate, dream and relax like no other.
7. My husband and I sit at the bar at a Local Bar and Grill where we started going when we met 14 years ago and the same bartender works there and remembers our orders even when a year goes by between visits (his name is Dean).

NPR? That’s pretty cool. Thanks for doing the anonymous tag.

Hey, congrats on the NPR gig!
I’m an infrequent commenter and you don’t know me but I love your writing and here are 7 things about me (it only seems fair):
1. The ocean gives me strength and peace of mind.
2. I loved being a teacher but being an artist fills me up in a completely different and life-sustaining way.
3. My daughters are my greatest teachers. We homeschool but I find that I am more of a facilitator of learning than a teacher.
4. The upper part of my ears have kinks in them.
5. I have to create something. Every. single. day. Or anger becomes my most easily accessible emotion quite quickly.
6. Cooking for my family and friends makes me feel ridiculously content and centered.
7. I like to drink whiskey. Single malt. Islands, Highland and Islay whiskey. But only in the late fall and winter.
Cheers.

[...] thing from going back through my archives is seeing how memes used to fly around the blogsphere all the time. Now, not so much. I can’t put my finger on it, [...]
