3 posts tagged “meme”

I am stoked.  We are getting a surge in our monsoon here in the desert SW which means a higher chance of thunderstorms - ie: lightning.  Great photo ops.  I guess you have to live here to understand just how exciting it is when we finally do get to the time of the year when we might actually get some rain...sigh. I really do live a pretty uncomplicated life as evidenced by my excitment over the possibility of  a little rain lol.

Anyway....

A fellow blogger and really cool person posted a meme of her own.  I loved it and thought I would take it forward here at vox and see if anyone else is up to this challenge and in effect break my self-imposed exile from blogging -at least for this one post.

So here’s the meme: if money weren’t the issue (or tangible benefits of any kind really), what would your dream job be? Where? Why?

Mine is travel photographer/writer. Where would be all over the world.  The why is because it combines the two things I love more then most other things - photography and travel.  2nd to that I would own an animal sanctuary/refuge.  Sort of like a no-kill shelter, but on a grander scale taking in larger animals as well.  This would involve a large area of land as well as monetary resources to support it....but hey the meme says money is not an issue...sooooooo.

Would love to hear others dreams...so please feel free to either post here in comments or blog about it yourself on your blog...if you do that let me know so I can go check it out.

Over at Annies house of painful thoughts (my little nickname for her blog as evertime I read it, my head starts to ache with the thoughts she inspires - not neccessarily a bad thing, its just that in my life (mainly revolving around teenagers and the care, feeding and teaching of them) were it not for my husband, Annie and a few others bogs, my brain would get no exercise.  Think of a sedate person laying around their house for the last couple of years and then all of a sudden goes out and runs a 10k marathon.  Said person would be pretty sore right?  Ok thats my brain on "Annie".  Though with constant reading my brain doesn't hurt so much any more.

Anyway she has proposed a Meme so I am going to play. Its called "gimme five"

This Meme involves a list of 5 random words and you must give an answer to these words.  You can say just about anything ( I like the reference that Annie used - think Inkblot) You can use words, pictures, songs, links anything you want and if you play, link back here. You can also make up a list of 5 words as well if you like.

1. Evening wear

Ok so this is the stuff you wear UNDER evening wear.  But you get where my head is at most times lol

2.Blue Food

This is more a reason why I DON"T eat blue food

3.Science Fiction....(lets play jeopordy here) What is....thinking my teenager will keep her room clean?

4.Sponges

Sponges Bobs Squares Pants.

5.Plastics
lol I have a couple of pictures for this that have already been shown on this blog but here we are again:

and
Anyone can play if they so desire...just let me know if you do so I can head over and read your blog....

I think that I am one of those people who, without turmoil in her life, cannot seem to put anything down on paper...errr computer screen.

The latest turmoil (marital strife) is easing and as the saying goes "this too shall pass" I suppose it was inevitable that my husband and I would eventually have our first full-on, gutting fight.  And so we did and things are easing.  I am able to exhale and hope that it won't happen again for a long time.  I really do not like fighting with this man.  Other husbands/boyfriends/SO's I really couldnt say that about.  Sometimes, bad girl that I am, I would intentionally seek out a fight with one of them so as to shake things up a bit.  And come on, really, the making up can be so good.  With Mike, the making up part occurs very regularly without need of inciting the passion with an argument...the passion seems to be there no matter.

So I am going to cheat once again, and this time I am going to do something called a "meme" usually with a meme, you are "tagged" by the blogger who last does the meme.  I have not been tagged by anyone - i guess no one wants to know that much about me lol (memes are usually, from what I can tell, random questions that you answer that gives insight into who you are) and how can I blame you all.  Anyway, I am going to tag myself with what appears to be the latest meme making the rounds since no one else will.  If you have no desire to learn mindless information about me, avert your eyes now.

Things I would do if I were a billionaire
My husband asked me this question last night in the middle of Survivor...but he phrased it more like "what would you do right now if you suddenly had a billion dollars?"  I told him I would finish watching Survivor, he got the hint and didn't say another word the rest of the hour.

5 bad habits I have:

Ok I think this is the point at which I am suppose to tag 5 people to answer the same questions
