Enquiring Minds Want To Know

So I went and did up my weekly Book Bloggers post yesterday about an awesome site called A Moment With Mystee.  She was so moved that she sent a huge shout out and thank you on her Facebook status and then did something I really didn’t expect; she tagged me in a new meme.  I love meme’s.  A couple years ago I did them all the time, but I haven’t been in on one in a VERY long time.  So for me, this is way cool.

This meme comes via Dollycas’s Thoughts and is the 5th week of this being in motion.  However, this week was a little different as this was the first time she sent out tags.  It’s based on the idea that we bloggers spend all our time posting silly stuff, giveaways, reviews and a lot more; as well as reading the same type of things.  But, how much do we really know about each other???  So this little meme is a way for all of us to get to know each other a bit more.

So here goes:

List 4 things you carry in your handbag
Um, okay this might be tricky as I don’t normally carry a purse.  I have a huge wallet and if it doesn’t fit in there, I probably don’t need it.  But we’ll give this a shot.
1.) My Paypal debit card
2.) My flowery pen that I always carry with me but rarely use
3.) A gold coin that isn’t worth squat but was given to me by one of my customers as a good luck token.
4.) A picture of my son in his Navy uniform and my daughter in her choir uniform.

List 4 things on top of your desk
Yeah, this one will be much easier, except trying to narrow it down to only 4 things.
1.) A large, hand-painted ceramic jar full of dry-erase pens for my dry-erase calendar. (I write down everything)
2.) 2 bottles of water, a bottle of Peach/Mango Fuze, and an empty glass of mile
3.) My Kindle, my thesaurus, and 2 notebooks
4.) A mouse pad from Big Fish Games

List 4 of your favorite things in your bedroom
Haw, everything I love is in my bedroom
1.) My bed
2.) My Kindle
3.) My computer
4.) My TV

List 4 things you’ve always wanted to do but haven’t
Wow, this one’s a bit tougher
1.) I’ve always wanted to visit the British Isles.  Being part Scottish, part English, part Irish, and part German, it would be like going home.
2.) I’ve always wanted to meet Kiefer Sutherland face to face.
3.) I’ve always wanted to dig for clams.
4.) I’ve always wanted to see a real Broadway play.

List 4 things you really enjoy doing at the moment
Easy one
1.) Reading
2.) Playing with my quilts
3.) Writing
4.) Spending time with my daughter

List 4 songs you can’t get out of your head
Um, please forgive the following songs—I’ve been listening to them on my computer for the past few days
1.) My Ding-A-Ling  by Clarence Carter (long story)
2.) Spaceman by Harry Nilsson
3.) Suspicions by Eddie Rabbit
4.) Helen Wheels by Paul McCartney and Wings

List 4 things we don’t know about you
Well that’s easy because that could be just about everything.  LOL
1.) I’ve been writing short stories since the 4th grade
2.) I taught myself how to sew on an old 1970′s singer sewing machine I got at a yard sale
3.) My guardian angel drives a little white car (another long story)
4.) I’m not a biker babe, but I am a biker’s baby.

And now I must pass this meme on to 4 other bloggers so here we go with that:
1.) My sunny little friend Ruthi at A Bit O’ Sunshine.  She’s awesome
2.) One of my favorite sites- Boobies, Babies and a Blog
3.) The Diva site that is known as Closer To Lucy
4.) Colleen from Shibley Smiles

Have a great day, ya’ll.

Blogging For The Sake Of Blogging

Yep, that’s right kids. I’m simply writing this so as not to lose a day in my month-long pursuit of doing a post a day. I have seriously been sitting here trying to come up with something to write about for the past 4 hours. I’ve scrapped just about every idea I could come up with, and now it’s almost midnight and I still didn’t have anything posted. And I don’t want to cheat and either post only part of this and then do the rest, nor do I want to go into the back and change the time zone on the blog. Though nobody else would probably be the wiser, I’d know and that would be enough.

I hope to come in tomorrow and have something wonderful to talk about or at least a good giveaway going on. I’m sure there are a lot of them right now, but none of them I found today interested me. And if I can’t get interested in them, I can’t bring myself to blog about them. Although, that would be a good way to hone my writing skills. Who knows, I might do something with that idea. Hmmmm.

Ok, anyway. I’m signing off so I can get this posted and be done with it for the day. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll be a little more on the ball and have a head full of ideas to work with. Have a great Monday, one way or another.

I Did It

Holy Moley, I did it.  This is the last day of the month and I’ve managed to put up a post every day.  I can’t believe that I actually did it, but Whoo HOOO!!!!!  And yes, I kinda cheated on a few of those days by posting something that I’d written months and even years ago, but it kind of fit in with the whole “green” theme.  I was recycling old material and using some of my stranger works as filler to get me through the entire month.

And thank you Gina for all the comments.  They made it more fun for me to keep posting.  And reason to keep it going on again for next month.  I may not have gotten a lot of important stuff added, but I kept it up each day and that’s amazing for me.  And I can’t wait to see what next month’s NaBloPoMo theme will be.  Not that I’ll stick with that theme for the entire month, but it will be nice to have something to work from.

Plus I have to keep everyone up-to-date on the quilt.  I’ve almost gotten all of the last pieces cut out and am about ready to start on getting the last blocks sewn together.  Once it’s all in place, I’ll get the entire thing put together and post more pics.  And I also want to get started on those Christmas ornaments and see what else I can come up with.  It will be interesting.

So, thanks to anyone who stopped by on a regular basis this month.  It was a total blast, and I’m hoping to do it again starting tomorrow.  LOL.  We’ll see though.  I might use one of my other blogs instead, or I might try and keep more than one blog updated daily.  That would be something, that’s for sure.  LOL
