Randi tagged me with this meme. I have been memed out for awhile, but with NaBloPoMo I am thankful for the chance to use a meme for a post.
8 things I’m passionate about:
- God
- My family. Obviously.
- Photography. No Kidding.
- Writing. Which you are reading. Right now.
- Diet Coke. But you knew that.
- Playing with pretty paper.
- My friends. They rock. Seriously.
- Friday night nachos. Every. Friday.
Anyone want to come next week?
8 things I want to do before I die:

- Go to Hawaii
- Go to Europe
- Go to Australia and New Zealand
- Go back to Mexico
- Go to Holland
- Get paid to write (besides accounting exams)
- Make enough money to travel all of those above places. Maybe thanks to the paid writing job? A girl can dream.
8 things I say often:
- Shut up
- Never mind
- STOP YELLING!!!
- Sorry

8 things I’ve learned this past year:
- I am perfectly happy to never be pregnant again.
- Almost-five-year-olds are wittier than I thought they would be.
- Three-year-olds can be pretty sneaky.
- One-year-olds look funny when they throw tantrums, complete with flailing limbs.
- I do not have patience. I asked for some and BOY DOES GOD HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOUR.
- I am a more creative person than I thought I was.
- Folding laundry is a complete waste of time.
- If you do not clean your bathroom every week, nobody dies.
8 books I’ve read recently:
Oh, dear. Unless you count five years ago (before Graham was born) as “recent”, then I could not complete this.
How about eight new blogs that I have found (or they found me) recently? There are more, but I’m limited to eight.
- Kristin (She’s not new to me, but she just returned to writing. She is amazing.)
- Bethany Actually (Just. Super.)
- Heather at Nabbalicious (Another amazing Heather. Also a great photographer. Also a Canon owner.)
- Casey at Moosh In Indy (Hilarious. Also? She plans to be part of Camp Canon soon.)
- Kelly at Not In A Day (“Pee your pants” funny. Amazing Photographer. In the Canon camp.)
- Jennie at She Likes Purple (So funny. So sweet. And did I mention funny? Also a photo aficionado. With great shoes.)
- Loralee (Smart. Funny. Also addicted to Diet Coke.)
- Kerianne (She just seems neat.)
Phew! All that linking made me tired. I need a DC.
I am not going to tag anyone, because I do not know who likes these things. Go forth and post the meme if you so wish.
People never seem to know how to respond to these things in the comments, so how about this?
Tell me something random about yourself, or tell me of a site that you think I should know about.
Or both.
Happy Saturday!
Hey, thanks! You’re pretty super yourself.
Something random about myself is that I was a Resident Assistant in college.

I totally love that you posted some new blogs here. I’m actually attempting to pow-wow with Casey (Moosh in Indy) while she’s in Utah. I totally hope it works.

I have to say, Jennifer Knapp’s music can bring me to tears faster than anyone else’s. “Thieves and Martyrs” is played in my car, every now and again, and the tears always pour. My best friend Natalie said to me once, “I don’t like listening to Jennifer Knapp in your car because no one’s allowed to talk.”
Thanks for the shout out. Right back at ya.
[Reply]
Ohh, those nachos look delicious.
[Reply]
I am TOTALLY coming over for nachos – they look fantastic!
I think I’m going to do this meme for my blog today. I’m doing NaBloPoMo as well, so this will be excellent writing material today.
As for something random about me? I’m going to a birthday party tonight that has an 80′s theme. Should be fun! I don’t have anything to wear, but I’ll be making a trip to Value Village this afternoon. Hopefully there will be something wickedly awesome there.
[Reply]
Those nachos look sooooooo gooooooooooood!!
[Reply]
really fun post! and those nachos look super super yummy…love that you don’t skimp on the toppings…
[Reply]
Something random? Similar to your nachos on Fridays, we do popcorn on Saturdays. And I love it.
[Reply]
something random about me… I can lick my own elbow, both of them actually, just not at the same time.
[Reply]
Those nachos look so YUMMY – why or why are you so far away? *sigh*
Random fact about me – I used to have season tickets for our AHL hockey team before I met my husband.
[Reply]
Yum!!! It’s always so interesting to learn random facts about people…One about me…I LOVE Little House on the Prairie!!!
[Reply]
You should SO go to Holland. It’s wonderful. I’m also COMPLETELY happy to never be pregnant again!
Have you seen Evan Almighty? Weird movie, but it has some sweet theology in it that your patience comment made me think of. “If you ask for patience, is God going to give you patience, or is he going to give you opportunities to be patient?” HOW TRUE IS THAT???
[Reply]
You’re such a sweetheart.
Random: I count the number of letters in words mentally as I say and think them. I’ve been doing this for longer than I remember.
I think you read all the same blogs as me, so no recommendations but let me think on it.
[Reply]
Great random things! Okay, random about me … I’ve done this random facts thing before so I have to think up something new. Um … I really dislike wearing socks. There ya go!
And you should totally come to New Zealand! I’d be a great hostess!
[Reply]
I want nachos now and it’s 8:20am.
Don’t talk to me about being pg. I am in the midst of it all and it’s only going to get bigger. Oh dear.
[Reply]
