Memories Meme
(Yellow Dawn, by artist Ken Bushe. Find more of his work here.) I saw this short meme on Lotus Reads and Stealthybean recently, and thought it was a kinda nice one…list three memories from your early childhood. I don’t know about you, but I don’t remember a lot of my early childhood…images, glimpses of moments that were transitory and are now lost…but I’ll try for a few anyway, OK? Here goes. I remember waking early one morning, before anyone else, and looking out the windows, and the whole sky was yellow. The whole wall was windows, it seems to me, so the view was pretty spectacular. Most of my sky…

What a Shocker…
You Are Chardonnay Fresh, spirited, and classic – you have many facets to your personality. You can be sweet and light. Or deep and complex. You have a little bit of something to offer everyone… no wonder you’re so popular. Approachable and never smug, you are easy to get to know (and love!).Deep down you are: Dependable and modest Your partying style: Understated and polite Your company is enjoyed best with: Cold or wild meat What Kind of Wine Are You? I may (or may not) be driving on a fieldtrip today, as one of the people who signed up is ill. So no time to plan a long lovely…

J Needs…
Here’s a twist on a meme I saw on Scarlett’s page, and thought might be fun. Here’s what you do: 1. Go to Google.com 2. Type your name and the word ‘needs’ in quotes in the search engine and hit the button. Give us 13 that make sense, if you can. (Scarlett used 10, but I went for 13, so I could make it a ‘Thursday 13’. 😉 ) Let’s see what “J needs”… J Needs Your Help! (This is true…sometimes, I do need your help.) J needs to work on her parenting (Sadly, this is often true. Actually, I think all parents need to work on their parenting, though.…

Book Awards Reading Challenge
I discovered a new book reading challenge that I’m all over like a cheap suit…this one is called the Book Awards Reading Challenge. Coincidentally, Ted got me hooked last week on yet ANOTHER internet timesuck, which would be goodreads, where you can keep track of all of the books that you ever remember reading, look at what your friends are reading, compare your lists and ratings with them, and figure out what NEW books you might want to read. Fun, huh? Definately. (Mom, it looks like you can upload your spreadsheet maybe…if you want another time suck in your life. 😉 ) Back to the challenge…this challenge is to read…

Blog Game…
I popped on over to The Hidden Side of a Leaf yesterday morning, and found she has a new blogroll game you might want to try out. It’s to get us all reading outside of our usual group of blogs, and see if there’s something new out there you’d be interested in. I know, many of us only have room for so many blogs on our blogroll (assuming we read them all, like I do, almost every day), but once in awhile it’s fun to check out something different. If you’re interested, here are her rules: a. pick someone from one of my 3 blogrolls. (J’s note…not MY blogroll, hers!)…

Winning an Argument Meme
The astute and hilarious Ploop has come up with a group meme, in which we discuss our methods of winning arguments, and link to his post. If you haven’t been to Ploop’s blog, Plooptionary, let me tell you that Ploop is able to explain concepts both trivial and complex through the use of charts and graphs, and has made me want to embrace the art of the Venn diagram. He tagged me to play, and I will happily dive in. First off, I must confess that when it comes to political arguments, I don’t often win. If you’re louder or meaner than me, or if you start quoting obscure factoids…

What a Weekend!
Our weekend started on Friday, when we went into San Francisco to attend an Ivy League mixer at a club bordering North Beach. We found pretty good parking on a quiet street just three blocks away, and we set off looking for a place to have dinner. There was a fancy looking restaurant right on our street, Myth, and since I was hungry enough that the golden arches were starting to look pretty good, and Ted says no WAY he’s driving into San Francisco and eating THAT crap, we decided to see if we could get a table. Well, all of their tables were booked, but they had room at…

Because it’s Friday, and I got nuthin…
It’s Friday…I cut my hair kinda short, today is “spring pictures” at school, Sunday we’re painting our house, Emma Bovary is, sadly, dead, and I missed three days of work this week due to Jury Duty (guilty as charged, your honor), so not much time to type type anything for you. So you get one of these, as your reward for stopping by. Happy Friday! You Are a Hot Fudge Sundae Classic, simple, and divine. Why mess with perfection? What Kind of Sundae Are You?

Birthday Meme
I thought of saving this until my birthday, but with all of the spring cleaning and a third day of jury duty upon me (Py has Jury duty today too! What are the chances?) and work craziness around here, it’s the perfect time to pull a few memes out and use them, right? So here we go. 1. Go to Wikipedia and type in your birth date only -without the year. December 31st 2. List 3 events that occurred that day: 1879 – Thomas Edison demonstrates incandescent lighting to the public for the first time. 1946 – President Harry Truman officially proclaims the end of hostilities in World War II.…

Sexy is…
You Are Independent Sexy You drive men crazy with your “playing hard to get act” Except, it’s really not an act at all. You’re a strong, sexy woman with her own life and interests. And that makes men even more interested in you! What Kind of Sexy Girl Are You? I saw this over at Confessions of a Sophisticated Writer…she’s bad girl sexy, which sounds all cool and stuff, but I guess Independent Sexy isn’t so bad, either. Independent Sexy reminds me of back when I was in the 5th grade, and we had some pretty white trashy neighbors, and the husband thought I was cool because I didn’t take…
