Posts Tagged ‘meme’

This morning I decided to peruse all of my feeds from everyone!  That has had me busy all day.  For dozens of reasons.  Oh to veg and blog.

First blog I came to ~ 2 Witches Blog ~ Mama Kelly did a “Blogging My Blessings” post.  It was wonderful and I was so glad that was the first one I clicked on.

Second blog I went to ~ Adventures of Loving Annie ~ Annie had been tagged to do a Gratitude Meme!  So I got to read what she was greatful for!

Oh what a day!  Grateful gratitudes galore!

So, I’m taking Annie up on her Meme “Gratitude Meme” and putting my little bit of love here.

I’m grateful for the breath I take.  Each day I get to be alive I’m grateful for the chance to be here on this earth having this physical existence and simply *being*.

I’m grateful for the spirits I share this life with.  My family, my friends, my bloggy friends, my clients, my dog, my neighbors and those that don’t like me.  Each person (or puppy) is here because we are sharing a learning experience.  Hey, even those that don’t like me much.  Ofcourse, there simply can’t be that many!

I’m grateful for my knowledge.  I have my own company, I can read, I can write, I can type and I can kinda maneuver around the internet!  LOL

I’m grateful for the cooling breezes I feel at night when the day has been so hot.

I’m grateful for the darkness.  Because with out the black in the night sky you simply wouldn’t be able to see the stars.

Love and Light dear friends.  Thank you for sharing my blog experience too!

Mon

While visiting MY friend Titania (her post started the same way… hee hee), I saw her recent post on a Meme that she found from my other friend Captain Picard. I wanted to give it a shot myself.

According to Titania: “The deal is that you have type in your first name at Google followed by the word needs”.

So here we are, I typed in “Zyriana Needs” and I got:

“Monitor Domain: Set Free Alerts on zyriana.com …. She needs it.”

“I didn’t want, or need a man” (ROFL!! that was from my site too!)

Other than that, the name Zyriana didn’t have any needs!

So, let’s go fer my real name “Monica”:

“monica needs forgiving”  (Oh no!)

“Monica needs to die her hair a darker shade and I am tired of seeing her in all of that turquoise jewelry”  (LOL!!)

“Monica needs to get a Job” (doh!)

“Monica needs another dress washed!” (er, um)

Okay, well… there are my needs for the day.  I can’t stop giggling at the fact that I need to die my hair a darker shade and stop wearing all of that turqoise jewlrey.  Sheesh.  And looks like it’s time for laundry and a new job!  Not to mention being forgiven!

I was very glad none of the Lewinsky stuff showed up on the first page. 

Thanks Titania and Jean Luc!  That was a fun one!

Well hello there.  Holiday time, end of year, work, kids, families, gatherings, shopping, carpet cleaning (oy!) – it’s all happening around my home at this time.  I’m out there reading other’s blogs for inspiration ~ oh, and fun Meme’s!  Just ’cause I totally enjoy reading others’ stuff!

So – dearest Titania at Finding Life’s Enchantments has a Holiday Meme she put out there for folks to do if they would like.  I would like.    Mainly ’cause waiting on the carpet cleaning to be done is gonna take awhile and then I have to finish a project to send to my client tonight.  SO – here’s a meme for you from me with love.

Holiday Meme

 

1.  Wrapping Paper or Gift Bags?

Gift Wrap

Ruh Roh, here it goes – for Christmas it’s definately pretty wrapping paper, bows, little name doohikies.  I have a wrapping paper issue.  Ask my hubby.  We have TONS of rolls and well, I used to work for a Hallmark store and I was the one that always gift wrapped and so……. I’m kinda  perfectionist at wrapping.  Did I say I was good at it?!  Nope…. which means it takes me forever!  hee hee

Birthdays is a bag – cute ones, pretty ones… whatever.

 

 

 

2.  Real or Fake Tree?

Oh that would be fake.  Daniel likes the real ones but when we put up the one I have he liked it.  Phew. 

Trouble with the fake ones ~ no real tree smell.  SO I get out the candles that smell like tree. 

Hee hee.

The pic is of our tree last year.

3.  When do you put up the tree?

Oh, that’s easy…. when I feel like it.  I’m not scheduled.  This year ’cause of "Flood ‘O Ford Family" it’s not up yet ’cause we have carpet to take care of.    It will be up as we are having Xmas here at our house.

4.  When do you take the tree down?

Hmmm….. usually whatever weekend after Xmas.  UNLESS I’m not in the mood. 

5.  Do you like EggNog?

I’m so with Titania on this one…… BLECH!  As my kids say "It makes me hurl!"  Hee hee.

Urp

 

 

 

 

 

6.  Favorite Gift you Received as a Child

Dollhouse!  Oh it was really really neat!  But my brother broke it I think.  ::sigh:: kid brothers… LOL

7.  Do you have a Nativity Scene?

Nada

8.  Hardest Person to Buy For?
Radio Controlled

That would be my husband who sees something he wants and buys it right then and there.  This year his Xmas gift is already purchased and in his hands ’cause I had him pick it out.  LOL

It’s a radio controlled airplane (goes 80 mph!) and a flight simulator software so he can practice and crash without killing the plane!  He’s still on the simulator mode right now. 

9.  Easiest person to buy for?

Oh that’s easy!  Me!  Oh, other than me?  Well, that would be my kids.  Only tough part is the $$$ to do all that shopping.

10.  Worst Xmas gift you have ever received?

There isn’t one.  I would like to add, that shopping and spending alot of money isn’t really what the holiday is for.  I wish I could get that across to people.  I’m good with handmade, or just something easy and simple.  Ya know?

11. Favorite Christmas Movie?

A Christmas Carol (1938).  Hands down.  There is a second favorite I must say though, closely tied with the first… that would be Scrooged!

13.  When do you start shopping for Christmas?

Oh I do that all year really.  When I find somethat that sticks out and screams someone’s name I grab it!  For those that I made something for this year, I have been working on it for months.  When I have time. 

14.  Have you ever recycled a Christmas present?

Oh nooooooo!  I can’t.  It’s not in my power Cap’n!

15.  Favorite thing to eat at Christmas?

Hmmmmm…..  I don’t know really.  When I have Christmas at my house I’m too nervous to eat.  Has to be the Sweet Potatoes covered in marshmellas.  hee hee

16.  Clear Lights or Colored on Tree?

Um, fake tree comes with white lights.  So, white!  I miss the multicolored ones though…

17.  Favorite Christmas Song?

Silent Night?

18.  Travel at Christmas or stay home?

Hoooooooooome, hoooooooooome on the raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaange.

19.  Can you nam

e all of Santa’s Reindeer?

LOL!  Now I can ’cause Titania wrote it out!  Thanks T!

20.  Angel on the tree top or star?

Neither….. I haven’t settled on a topper.  Last year I refused to put a top on.  LOL  This year, I want something made of glass.  Not a star or an angel.  My mom had this really neat glass thingymabob on top of hers before us kids broke it.  DOH!

21.  Open the gifts Xmas eve or Xmas Morning?

Both.  Multiple family get togethers.  But for the kids, theirs aren’t to be opened until Xmas morn OH and me and D do ours Xmas morn too.

Imagine my surprise Xmas morn 2005 when my honey gave me a small box while on his knee and proposed to me.  WOW!  Christmas mornings are good!

22.  Most annoying thing about this time of year?

The presssure!  Honestly, I’ve been saying we need to ditch Christmas and do an in between 12/25 and 1/1 get together.  I’m just losing the feel of Christmas ’cause of what’s expected.  I don’t like my family travelling on Xmas day to get to us, it makes me so nervous with everyone out there screaming out their cars windows…

I don’t know, have some folks just lost that lovin’ feeling? 

23.  What I love most about Christmas?

The memories we have, we make and will have with our family.

For the tagging – definately Julie and my Daughter – Jessica.  If there is anyone else that would like to play this one, please let me know ’cause like Titania I’m curious as all getout!

Happy Holidays – no matter which you celebrate!  Peace and Love to all of you!

Monica

Hi there!  I took a “tag” of sorts from Titania over at Finding Life’s Enchantments 38 Things About Me.  I’ve never been tagged for a meme and thought it would be interesting.  Well, interesting to do… not necessarily to read.  LOL  Hope you get some info…

1. Name one person who made you laugh last night?
My husband and kids when we were talking about my eyes burning… not sure why that was funny, but they sure made me giggle.

2. What were you doing at 0800?
Today at 0800 I was sitting in the waiting room while my son was in at the doctors.  I was reading something about gangs and violence in the US in one of the magizines they throw on a table there.  There are over 700,000 members of gangs in the US.  I had no idea…

3. What were you doing 30 minutes ago?
Cancelling our arrangements to stay somewhere else other than our poor house.  We were told to vacate ’cause of the water damage and the machinery (er, sounds like an airplane is in our house getting ready to take off… “what? I can’t hear you!”).  However, the kids had mini panic attacks at the thought of staying nights in a local motel and having to leave our dog here by his little lonesome!  So here we stay… “what?  did you say something?  I can’t hear you!”

4. What happened to you in 2006?
I got married to Daniel whom I’ve known for about 17 years.  We’ve dated, er… or seen eachother on and off for um… (counting on fingers) well, since 11/2004 I suppose.  Married 5/2006.  I had been with him on dates and such when me and my ex broke up in 2002 and 2003 and prior to that… but when I was with my boyfriend we didn’t see eachother ofcourse… I’m very committed in my relationships.

5. What was the last thing you said out loud?
“Sammy honey, you okay?”  My black lab is trying to find somehwere the house to lay down that won’t blow his fur off.  (huge fans and dehumidifiers)

6. How many beverages did you have today?
Two – water and my latte… OH I need to make some coffee!

7. What colour is your hairbrush?
Which one?  Let’s see… black handle and bristles with copper kinda to assist in drying, pink with white bristles, larger ones, smaller ones… all pink/blue/black, round ones flat ones

8. What was the last thing you paid for?
Mortgage!  Whooooooooo Hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

9. Where were you last night?
Driving around with my kids and hubby trying to find somewhere to sleep.  We came back home…   No vacancies out here?  That’s nearly impossible we are in farmer’s country!

10. What colour is your front door?
RED!  Oh I’ve always wanted a red door.

11. Where do you keep your change?

12. What’s the weather like today?
Absolutely beautiful, clear skies and 70s

Being an ex Baskin Robbins employee (yes, teen years!) I have to say I loooooooove Peanut Butter and Chocolate and that’s tied with Chocolate Fudge

14. What excites you?
Nature.  Seriously… trees, moss, dirt, sky, clouds, rain… you name it.  And… my hubby

15. Do you want to cut your hair?
Nope, nada… no way.  I cut mine short a while back.  My daughter was very clear in saying “but momma, you never like it short”.  I didn’t listen and cut it.  Thankfully, it’s growing… ::sigh:: the things we do.

16. Are you over the age of 25?
Oh yes… you betcha.  40 in February.  Whooot!

Um, heck ya!    With long periods of silence as well just to throw folks off… “oh she’s sure quite… wait, maybe not…”

Not sure what that means… overly cautious, outwardly cookoo?  I think you mean the TV show.  I don’t watch TV.

20. Do you make up your own words?
snookiepup snickerlicious

21. Are you a jealous person?
I see the word “jealous” as meaning that you want something someone else has.  With that definition… nope.

Trouble is… the person probably doesn’t know how rude or mean she is.  I’d rather not say… but she is quite hurtful.   I just send love and light and get over it.
