Unconscious Mutterings

This is my second week playing along with this meme. For those of you that may not have seen it last week it's called Unconscious Mutterings. It's all about free association.

Here is what this one is all about:"...Each week I'll post ten words to which you can respond to with the first thing that comes to mind. Rules are, there are no rules." There are no right or wrong answers. Don't limit yourself to one word responses; just say everything that pops into your head."So...let's get on with it.

I say ... and you think ...

Taxman : Money
Material : Fabric
Format : Computers
File cabinet : Paperwork
Ignore : Shut out
Super! : Great!
Fireproof : Safety
Blockbuster : Movie
Snooper : Sneak
Good will : Christmas

So...what do you say? Want to play along? Just click on the link above.

Manic Monday

I've seen quite a few people join in on this "meme" so I thought I would give it a whirl.

When and with whom was your first kiss?
If I remember correctly it was at a church camp with a boy (sorry no names) from my church. It was so different then what I thought it would be.

Do you believe that everything happens for a reason?
Yes, I do believe everything happens for a reason. These are the reasons that we need to learn by.

What would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
Well done my good and faithful servant.

I've Been Tagged....again.

Stacey over at Jamee Forever has tagged me with 2 meme's. THANKS STACEY! LOVE YA! MEAN IT! :) So here it goes...

Meme #1

Here are the rules...

1) Pick up the nearest book of at least 123 pages.
2) Open the book to page 123.
3) Find the 5th sentence.
4) Post the next 3 sentences.

5) Tag 5 people.

The book nearest me that went above 123 pages was the book Eldest by Christopher Paolini. I recently checked it out from the library but I haven't started it as of yet.

"At the gate to each tier, a guard waved them through without comment. They soon left the buildings and found themselves crossing the barren fields at Tarnag's base. Beyond those, they reached the stone quay that edged the still, gray water."

Whew...at least that didn't give anything away for me. I was afraid it would.

Now for......Meme # 2

The Rules:
1) Link whom you tagged and list these rules on you blog.
2) Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3) Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving a comment on their blog.Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

1. I am 4' 11" tall but I can sit taller than my sister that is taller than me. Her legs are longer and my torso is longer. Go figure.

2. I love to do anything crafty. As if you didn't already know that. Doing things with my hands and creating is what I love to do and there is still much more out there that I still want to learn how to do.

3. I was born on my grandfather's birthday and my niece was born on my birthday the year that he passed away. So I have yet to go without sharing my birthday with a family member.

4. I come from a very close-knit family. In fact I consider myself very blessed in the fact that my parents are still together.

5. I have lived in 17 different places. Now some of these are repeat cities just different locations within those cities. So...moving is almost second nature to me but I still consider it a pain in the you know what to do.

6. My sons feet are almost as big as mine and he just turned 8! YIKES!

7. I really don't like to do the laundry as it seem to never end. Every time I think I am finally ahead it peeks its head around the corner from its hiding place and says "Boo".

Now who do I tag??? Let's see I pick:

(these tags are for both Meme's)

1. My good friend over at The Soul of Things
2. & 3. These two are sister-in-laws that also blog. Chicken Without a Head and Camera Obscura.
4. Kelly over at Kelly's Blog. Good friend and fellow cross stitcher.
5. Trish over at CrAzY Working Mom. Love her blog and have been reading it for quite some time now.
6. Cheryl over at Lady Watkins. She's been a good blogging friend that I found through one of the swaps that I participated in.
7. Petula over at It's a Woman's World! I've been reading her blog for a little while now and enjoy going over there every day.

Tagged...Again

Well I was tagged again. This time by Ida at Knit-A-While . This tag is for 7 things about me but I thought I would just redirect you to the post that I did a few days ago. The 8 Things Meme.

I am however going to tag the same people, since they haven't participated yet, and add a couple more. Now I'm not tagging 8 people like it stated but I am at least going to highly encourage the others to participate. If I didn't tag you please don't feel left out...just go ahead and do it!

Here they are:
1. MO Treatman Family
2. Tales of Grace
3. Mind Your P's and Q's
4. The Tygress Den

8 Things

8 Things Meme

I've been tagged! Camera Obscura tagged me with this Meme last Thursday and I am finally getting around to participating in it.

Here are the rules:

-Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.

-People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
-At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
-Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

So here it goes:

1. I am 4' 11" tall but I can sit taller than my sister that is taller than me. Her legs are longer and my torso is longer. Go figure.


2. I love to do anything crafty. As if you didn't already know that. Doing things with my hands and creating is what I love to do and there is still much more out there that I still want to learn how to do.

3. I was born on my grandfather's birthday and my niece was born on my birthday the year that he passed away.

4. I come from a very close-knit family. In fact I consider myself very blessed in the fact that my parents are still together.

5. I have lived in 17 different places. Now some of these are repeat cities just different locations within those cities. So...moving is almost second nature to me but I still consider it a pain in the you know what to do.

6. My sons feet are almost as big as mine and he just turned 7! YIKES!

7. I really don't like to do the laundry as it seem to never end. Every time I think I am finally ahead it peeks its head around the corner from its hiding place and says "Boo".

8. I hate spiders. Love what they do outside but still can't stand them.

Now who to tag....I probably don't have 8 people to tag so if you would like to participate then go right ahead. Here is who I am encouraging to participate:

1. Tales of Grace

2. MO Treatman Family

3. Mind Your P's and Q's
