As promised, today is meme day. I was tagged by Mommy Off the Record last week, and now I’m finally going to make good on it.
So, without further ado, take a peek a little further into my soul:
I AM: a woman, a daughter, a wife, a mother, and a blogger. And I have a t-shirt so no one will forget it.
I WANT: Aaron to get this job he interviewed for.
I WISH: I could stay home more with Cordelia
I HATE: George W. Bush and all his cronies. Oh, and people who think mommy bloggers are a waste of bandwidth.
I MISS: all my friends back in Oxford, OH. We never get to see them enough.
I FEAR: crazy people who are willing to kill others over a belief in something that cannot be proven one way or another.
I HEAR: that Farrah hairdos are making a comeback, and I don’t like it one bit.
I WONDER: if having curves will ever come back into style?
I REGRET: not taking more classes on writing when I was in college.
I AM NOT: a 40-something overweight single man pretending to be a mommy blogger to prey on young moms. I swear.
I DANCE: rarely now, but I used to do Irish dancing.
I SING: along with musicals all the time in the car.
I CRY: at those “Having a baby changes everything” commercials.
I AM NOT ALWAYS: as interactive with my daughter as I should be. I confess to letting her watch TV so I can get things done.
I MAKE WITH MY HANDS: nothing food related, that’s for sure. I’m a lousy cook.
I WRITE: better than many, based on the message boards I’ve read on the internet, but not as well as many of my peers.
I CONFUSE: Aaron with my ability to change my mind in an instant.
I NEED: more sleep. (Doesn’t every mom answer this question with “more sleep”?)
I SHOULD: hurry to finish this list and get back to work.
I START: (or rather, We Start) trying for our second child later this summer, I hope.
I FINISH: each post wondering if anyone will read it. (Low self-esteem, you say? Why, yes!)
And now I must tag others, as these little games go. So, if you’re reading this post and thought, “Hey, that was kinda fun!” then you’re tagged!
Oh, and for those who want to see my happy dance: I’d like to say I dance like this, or maybe like this (I LOVE this video), but sadly it’s more like this in reality.
That was so cool! I love learning these little facts about all the moms I feel like I’ve made friends with through blogs! I just may do this for my next post!
I love that. I consider myself tagged, just because I want to do this. Very cool. Thanks for the idea.
I fear the same thing you do.
Farrah hairdos are coming back? The next thing you know, gaucho pants will be back in style…oh, wait, they are!
Oh, and that was some scary man dancing going on.
BTW, you wonder if people will read your posts? You are a wonderful writer…therefore, I’ll keep coming back! 🙂
That is a GREAT list 🙂
Rest assured I read it and laughed my ass off at those videos. You rock!
From a former Ohio lifer currently transplanted in Michigan.
I have a Farrah hair do but that is not my intent. I’m just too lazy to style it and it goes every which way. Cause I CERTAINLY don’t have her body like her 70’s poster!
This post came just in time … I was out of ideas~! 🙂
I’m sending Aaron good job vibes … oooommmmmmmmmmmm
Also, hope Cordy is better. We had that same thing (plus barfing) twice in two weeks this winter. It is truly terrible.
Can you tell I’m catching up on comments???
Good luck with the baby making. We seem to be naturals if you need any advice!
JOB vibes have been sent.
Mmm, I love me a meme.
I LOVE the J&J baby changes everything commercials. When I was pregnant with Tater, they had first come out, and I cried every.single.time. My favorites are the bath in the sink and the hats with the mommy.
We’re thinking of starting for our second baby this year too (probably fall)…it’s scary and exciting all at once!
Great list!
Scary that Farrah is making a come back. Yikes.
Those videos were hysterical.
It is fun to learn more about my bloggy friends this way 🙂
I AM NOT: a 40-something overweight single man pretending to be a mommy blogger to prey on young moms. I swear.
This cracks me up. I’ve actually felt the need to clarify that myself a few times…lol
I love reading your blog everyday and this list is just another reason for me to come back. =)
I also consider myself tagged, this looks like a lot of fun!
Yay on TTC!!! I love to live vicariously through other pregnant woman!

You are an AWESOME writer. You have such a clear, honest, friendly voice. Which is why you do have devoted readers, who read you all the time, even when they are EXHAUSTED (ahem.)
‘Twas your writing won me over, lady. (And your obviously warm and generous spirit, which precludes any possibility of dirty old man masquerade, cause that jive can’t be faked. And that adorable child. And the cats.) And now, too? Your dancing.
I too am such a dancer.
Those darn commercials get me every time!
I love your memes because I always learn so many interesting things about you. Like the fact that you are not a middle aged man. I never doubted you for a second.
Good luck again to Aaron on his possible job and to you both on that baby making thing. *wink*
Chaiyya! Chayyia!
I now have a favorite video/song to go with “Once More’s” “Holy Moly Song.” Thanks!
(I wish I understood some Urdu, but whatever. It has a good beat and you can dance to it!)
Also, I think that there will be a lot of “trying” for #2s this summer, as we will be trying as well. Good Luck!
I enjoyed reading your list! You can check mine out on my blog, I did it a few days ago. I actually have a diffeerent meme on mine today.
