Two Memes for the Price of One

Within the last week, I've had one person tag me with a meme, and one send me an email that I'm turning into a meme.

First, bless her heart Val tagged me for a meme. Never one to intentionally disappoint a friend of course I'll go along here.

Here are the rules:
1) Link to the person who tagged you.
2) Post the rules.
3) Share six non-important things / habits / quirks about yourself.
4) Tag at least three people.
5) Be sure the people you tagged KNOW you tagged them by commenting what you did.

I've done somewhat similar memes before so I will probably repeat myself at least on a couple of items because I'm too damned lazy to go back through my archives and check.


Six non-important things/habits/quirks about me:

(1) When I sleep by myself, which is pretty much all the time these days, I sleep in the center of the bed surrounded by four pillows and hugging another pillow. I have a real hard time sleeping if I don't have something or someone to hug.

(2) I adore crunchy granola bars but hate chewy granola bars. I particularly like using crunchy granola bars to dip in cherry yogurt. That plus a banana is my favorite breakfast.

(3) I hate wearing shoes and go barefoot as frequently as possible, including when I'm sitting at my desk at work.

(4) I am an NPR junkie, particularly on the weekends, listening to Car Talk, Wait Wait Don't Tell Me, This American Life, and a Prairie Home Companion. During the week, I like to listen to All Things Considered and whatever random thing happens to be on when I'm in the car.

(5) I once drove an RV several miles down the interstate before remembering the jar of sun tea sitting on the roof. I pulled over, climbed up the ladder on the back of the RV and retrieved the jar which had miraculously stayed in place.

(6) When I eat M&M's I eat one color at a time in a specific order: brown, red, yellow, green, and then orange and blue alternating one orange then one blue until they're gone.

Tagging nobody, but if anybody wants to take up the gauntlet let me know in the comments so I can come check out your answers.

Here's the second one that I got in an email from Karin of Karin's Korner.

Kinda anal on the orange-and-blue, arntcha? But hey, I suppose I should be honored that you save the green ones for next-to-last. . .

Trueself said...

Des - Ah well the green definitely came out on top of the orange and blue last night, and yes I was there to watch it right down to the final buzzer. Sigh. . .

Desmond Jones said...

Well, we haven't won at the Flying Saucer since '02. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while. . .

And I didn't see a whole lot of blue amongst the orange last night; do they save that 'Orange-out' thing just for us?

And yes, I'm jealous. . . ;)

Trueself said...

Des - It's all orange all the time at the "House of Paign." Did you see me in my orange sweater way up in the nosebleed section?

No need to be jealous. I may have been there, but your boys did win after all, even if it was a win helped along by some dubious calls by the refs. ;-)
