100 Foods Meme
(photo found here) Thanksgiving is known, not only as a day to share our thanks, but also as a day to feast. In the spirit of feasting, I thought I would take on this meme that RelaxedDad tried (he did it in two parts). Some of the foods are clearly European, as I didn’t even know what the heck they were. Here are the rules: Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions. Bold all the items you’ve eaten. Cross out any items that you would never consider eating. Optional extra: Post a comment here at www.verygoodtaste.co.uk linking to your results. So now to the foodstuffs! 1.…

I’ve been tagged…twice
Ombudsben and Donna both tagged me for this most recent form of a fairly popular meme…7 random things about me. Maya would like that, as one of her favorite words is ‘random’. So, here goes. 1. Amuirin reminded me of this with her 7 random things meme. When I was a very young child, I cut off the tip of my finger.  My mom was cutting carrots for dinner, and had to go to the bathroom. She put the knife (she thought) out of my reach, and away she went. I somehow reached the knife, tried to cut the carrot, and sliced through my fingertip. OUCH! I screamed pretty loudly,…

Meme Monday
(image found here) OK, one way to get through NaBloPoMo is to do a few memes. My plan is a new meme every Monday. I saw one over at Jessica’s place, and I decided to divide it between two posts. So you’ll get half today, and half next Monday. 🙂 Ten Things I Wish I Could Say to Ten Different People Right Now 1. I miss you. I forgive you. 2. Good luck tomorrow. We’re all counting on you. 3. You kick ass. I want your dreams to come true. 4. You kick ass. I want your dreams to come true. (different person, I swear) 5. I’m thinking of you,…

Zombie Meme
I found this meme over at Butterfly Cauldron, and I couldn’t resist. Then again, I didn’t try. You are in a mall when zombies attack. You have: 1. One weapon 2. One song blasting on the speakers 3. One famous person to fight along side you 1. One weapon – I liked Zan’s clever solution, which was a wand that turns the zombies around and sends them to eat Republicans. Of course, some of my best friends are Republicans, and I don’t want to steal her answer when there are only three options, so I have to come up with something of my own. I dashed over here to see…

Saturday 9
I found this little meme over at A Gentleman’s Domain, and it looked so summery, I had to give it a try. He found it at One Gal’s Musings, and it was invented by Crazy Sam at Saturday 9.   1. What is your favorite summer drink? Lemonaid, I guess. I don’t drink it often, but I’m much more likely to want it in the summer than in the winter. 2. What is the best summer sport to play? Swimming. Probably the only summer sport I enjoy, because I don’t enjoy getting hot and sticky. 3. What’s the best summer sport to watch? Equestrian. So pretty. I’m hoping to catch some of the Equestrian…

Thursday 13
I saw this Thursday 13 last week at A Gentleman’s Domain, and he got it from his friend, Di. Looks like a cute TT, so I decided to give it a shot. Thirteen Firsts First Job – I’ve told you about my first real job, at Mr. Steak. But I had a couple of odd jobs before that. The first was probably when my friend Jennifer and I would go to Pizza Hut and offer to fold boxes for take out, and in exchange, we would get pizza and soda to take home for dinner. Awesome. Another barter type job I had was cleaning out the horse stalls at a…

Doublememe Palace*
Awhile ago, I signed up to be a ‘weekly geek‘, and take on the challenges put forth on Dewey’s blog. Alas, thus far I have sucked at it. I find that given a subject to write on, I kinda freeze and succumb to writer’s block, which is why I quit my brief stint at a mommy blog that I briefly contributed to quite awhile ago. Anyway, the prompt this week was pictures, and since it’s mostly book folks participating, it seemed like a good idea to post a picture of a book. However, I’ve already posted pictures of the books around here, twice actually. So I’ve been mulling it over.…

Monday Meme
I found this one via Crum’s blog…he comments over at Scribbit sometimes, and he often cracks me up, so I went and checked out his blog, and he came and checked out my blog, and there you go. The bloggy world. 🙂 He lives in Maine. I’ve never been to Maine, but I suspect they have blueberries as good as the ones in Fairbanks. Mmmm. Blueberries. OK, here’s the meme. The Meme 1. Last Movie you Saw in a Theater: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. It was fun. But I must admit that I’m REALLY looking forward to next weekend, which is when Sex and the…

Meme Monday – Movie Edition
I grabbed this one from A Gentleman’s Domain last week. It reminds me of a similar meme regarding books that I did awhile ago. The idea is to bold the movies I have seen. I’ll take it one better, and italicize the films I have not yet seen, but would like to. 1. The Godfather (1972) 2. The Shawshank Redemption (1994) 3. The Godfather: Part II (1974) 4. Buono, il brutto, il cattivo, Il (1966) (The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly) 5. Pulp Fiction (1994) 6. Schindler’s List (1993) 7. One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975) 8. Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back (1980) 9.…

I guess that’s about right…
Your Spelling is Good You got 8/10 correct.Your spelling is generally pretty decent. You are prone to a few mistakes, but the mistakes you make are pretty forgivable. How’s Your Spelling? I’m kind of hard on myself when it comes to spelling. I feel like I’m a crappy speller, but I suspect it’s because English is a strange language with its rules and exceptions. I often wish English were more phonetic. You Are a Good Friend Because You’re Loyal You stick with your friends no matter what, even if you feel like they’re doing the wrong thing. You believe in letting people figure out their own path in life. It’s…
