Come And Light My Fire….
…. by giving me your burning questions.
I’ve been tagged so many times with memes lately, I can hardly recall what I’ve been tagged for anymore.
In case you’ve missed any of my meme fulfillments, please feel free to catch up here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and…. here.
May I please have a meme crown now?
As much as I would like to believe that any of you will actually click on those links (that I just spent the past 15 minutes linking), I know you won’t. SO, I’m swiping an idea from CajunVegan, BurghBaby, and DaddyDan. A little Q & A to hopefully clear the air.
So… ASK ME! Leave a question in the comments, and I’ll do my best to answer them. Try to keep ‘em nice and clean, and I’ll do my best not to be mean and dirty when I reply (unless you want me to). I’ll post replies in a separate post. This will give me some sanity during the stress of moving, signing our mortgage, and the next 30 years of Cup O’Noodle dinners.
In the meantime, please give a round of applause for Andie Summerkiss, PAJohnson, SweetiePie, and Kelly. They all tagged me many weeks ago, and I was never able to get to their meme’s in time. I know. I suck. Feel free to leave me an inappropriate question in the comments in if you like (just them, k?).
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have more meme business to take care of.
4 Random Facts
Tagged by: Marla
1) I hate underwire bras. Pre-baby they didn’t bother me. Now I’ve removed them from all of my bras.
2) I’m not a huge book reader. I’ll pick up a book every now and then, but I was never one of those kids with a book in bed reading by moonlight or flashlight. 
3) I love Chuck-E-Cheese pizza (don’t judge me). I’m almost certain the one near our house laces their pies with crack.
4) I’m a night owl. Always have been. I’m usually up until 1-2am writing these boring posts, click “Publish” and fall asleep around 3am watching VH-1 Celebrity Rehab, Rock of Love2, or Scott Baio is 36 and Pregnant, when I should be reading a stinkin’ book!
Page 123 Meme
Tagged by: Pat
Instructions:
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.
All of our books (that are over 123 pages) are packed. But my husband has 1 remaining book on the night table. Did I mention I’m not a huge reader? Hubby is, and this. is. a. snoozer.
Page 123 just happens to be the first page of Chapter 6….of 25!
Fifth sentence + the next 3 sentences:
“Nor did I know that I would, in the years following the Eastern bloc’s collapse, become witness to a very rare event: the emergence of competitive market economies from the ashes of centrally planned ones. In the process, the demise of the central planning exposed the almost unimaginable extent of the rot that had accumulated over decades. But the biggest surprise that awaited me was an extraordinary tutorial on the roots of market capitalism.”
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz……
*shakes head*
Sorry. Are you still with me?
Okay, fire away your questions!
Haha! I have no burning question for you, for now, and that’s because I just woke up, and I can hardly see my keyboard.. but, raincheck?

I share your abhorrence -is that too strong a word to use here? – to underwires. I rarely use one. Except when I needed to put on a strapless.
As with the question, there’s none at the moment. But I’ll sure shoot some if there is -maybe via email. if you don’t mind.

I remember reading in one of your other many meme’s that you were once a model. I have three related questions:
1. What type of modeling did you do?
2. Where would we have seen you?
3. Are you going to share any of your old modeling pictures?

KEEP ‘EM COMING!
February 12th, 2008 at 12:55 pm
I am frequently up until 1:00 or later, and I read in bed which keeps me awake even longer. The only problem with this is the 3-yr-old who comes down before 7:00 and wakes me up. “Gramma, Gramma” The reasons vary from day to day. Today it was to borrow some milk. One day he woke me up to ask why it was dark in here. Oh, the joys of being a gramma.
I love your memes. I totally think you deserve the crown. I dub you “Queen of Memes.” (I’m old. That gives me the power to make you queen if I want to.) =) Would that I had the requisite skill. I would make you a beautiful Crown to proudly display in your sidebar with all the other bling.
Question: Please describe your new home: how many bedrooms? open floor plan? big kitchen? what you like best? least? how’s the yard?

I recently started reading your blog (and it’s so fun to read), so I’m not sure if you’ve actually discussed about this before – how did you come up with your site name? I think it’s very creative, so I’m curious. I couldn’t ask you anything appropriate since those questions are reserved…LOL.

You’ll be happy to hear that I have NOT tagged you with the 123 meme!
I humbly bow to you, your Majesty…

Oh, the everlasting love/hate thing I’ve got with underwires would fill books. Boring ones, but tomes nonetheless. And someday someone would pick one up and turn to page 123 and put others to sleep.
Questions:
What’s your dream vacation?
Any other little ones on the horizon?

Hmmm, can’t think of a question off the top of my head. If I do, I’ll come back. I am also a night owl. It’s been 1 1/2 years since I worked the night shift (6p-2a) and I still can’t get to bed at a decent hour! Not a good thing now that I work mornings. :-/ Maybe I’ll do the Page 123 meme… it just may get me reading that book I’ve had on the desk since November.

Personally I love underwires but that’s just me.
The 123-page meme is also not for me, as the closest book to me right now is my Latin text. Page 123 is on the perfect passive of verbs. Yay. And my question for you is… if one word could describe your past year, what would your word be? This idea is from Elizabeth Gilbert’s book!

There is no way I’m clicking on each and every one of those heres. Sorry, chicky, no way! You can join my revolution and swear off memes, if you want. Oh yes, I’m 90% sure I’m going to stop doing them. Right after I finish the four or five I was already tagged for, that is.
What to ask, what to ask. Oh, I think I’ll give you my usual question: Who would you rather do the horizontal tango with:
Brad Pitt or George Clooney?
Bill Clinton or Rudy Guliani?
Zac Efron or Daniel Radcliffe?
Britney Spears or Christina Aguilera?
Kermit the Frog or Animal?

You are too much! As long as you went to the trouble to provide links to the original 13 memes (THIRTEEN MEMES! You ARE a glutton for punishment, aren’t you?), you might have told us what they were instead of using the word “here” repetitively …(can you hear me snickering yet?) Actually, I’ve made a note to myself that when I’m bored (and/or uninspired) I can return to this post for ideas. It’s such a resource! I am (as always) impressed with what you manage to accomplish here while you’re packing and caring for a toddler. As far as questions, my mind is a blank. I’m about to watch the Westminster Dog Show with Molly. Seriously she loves to watch TV … especially when animals are on the screed. I’ve got pictures to prove it.
Hugs and blessings,

I think the biggest coincidence is that we both picked up books that are not generally considered entertainment. I have a good escape fiction on my bed, but the rules did say the nearest book. It was a toss-up between the one I picked and the Bible. They were laying side-by-side.
