down with black friday; let's meme a while
CamiKaos and JCK have given me the pass today. (I am out of NaBloPoMo steam...) Prepare to be meme-ified...
First the rules:
*Link to the person(s) who tagged you and post the rules on your blog...
*Share 7 random/weird things about yourself...
*Tag 7 people at the end of your post and include links to their sites...
*Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog...
Easy peasy; let's go.
1. I didn't learn to cook until I had Alexis at 27, and even then, it was questionable. (This used to freak my Grandma out; how could I keep a man without culinary skills?) Now I love to pour over cookbooks, try new things.
2. I still use the microwave from time to time, take shortcuts. I love the way macaroni noodles form in the bowl, standing up in a circle. (I'm keeping with the weird.)
3. One of my friends from Borders gave me an Olivia the Piglet window cling decal 5 years ago; it has been in my rear window ever since. Olivia always makes me smile.
4. I was a Sandy Mt. Festival princess, representing my age group on a court comprised of 5 generations, in 1989. If you ever make it to the festival in Sandy, Oregon - look my picture up. I'm the one with the permed long hair and light bluecurtain dress. I know you will be tempted to mock me now. Please do it behind my back.
5. I still haven't read Harry.
6. I think listening to David Sedaris on CD cures many ills.
7. The only purchase I am considering on this black Friday: a Brian Setzer Christmas album. I can't decide if I want Boogie Woogie Christmas or Dig That Crazy Christmas.
Yay. I did it. Now it's your turn: if you are feeling meme-y, let me know and play along. I'll give you linky-love. (Did I just say linky-love? I need to step away from the computer...)

Love the new look around here (not sure how new it is, really, since I've been reading through Bloglines) :)
There is nothing weird about David Sedaris, Brian Setzer Christmas, or Olivia (or maybe I'm that weird, too) but not reading Harry?? Blasphemy.
:)
And the parrot story makes me cry every time. Every time.
Its just not Christmas for my hubby & me until we listen to "The Santaland Diaries" together...*sigh*
;)
Sandy Mt. Festival princess, eh?? Sounds like the permed hair is worth a look-up.
From another permed girl of the 80's.
