Meme for Lazy Me




Winner of the Rose Show.



I’m brainless these last few weeks.  Rather than worry about my daughter passing math, I did this meme I got from l’empress.

A house without stairs, daughter passing math, and continuing gratitude.

Not one minute.
3.   What do you do on your spare time on the weekends?
Spend it with G if he’s home.  Simple answer.

My sobriety.  Without it nothing else in my life would be there.  No G, no sanity, no home.  Nada.
5.   Would you rather be rich or healthy?
Healthy.  I remember wishing I had more money, any money, for many years.
6.   If you could go back in time, would you and why?
No, Going back makes for stick in the mud folks.

NCIS.  I am so upset about the ending to this year’s last episode.  Did they just kill off Ducky?  Who else in the cast died?  Grrrrrr.  And NCIS LA, almost just as bad with Calan heading to  jail and Hetty retiring.  Grrrrrr….  I like Antiques Roadshow too.

Not one I can answer.

  1. Interesting meme. I was thinking about how I might answer some of those questions.
    At least I know who "Hello Kitty" is. I'm with you on holidays, boycotting Walmart's, but I drink home made espresso.

    By the way, I have been meaning to say I love your header with the orange roses. Dianne

  3. Gorgeous rose and I enjoyed reading your meme answers. I have always liked the name Millicent and I'd sure love to see Bob Seger too.

    This one made me laugh, though.
    12.Three things you need in your life are: Bathroom, computer, G, meetings, books, and in any order.

    I'm hoping your daughter's math skills are better than yours. ;)

  4. That was fun to read. And another perfect rose to begin my cloudy day. So many similar fancies we have and I like my hot dogs like yours--lots of chopped onions on mine please--but I do like homemade meals but like you about baking, I prefer mine cooked by (almost) anyone but me! (Crossing my finger for Lessa's math scores.)

  5. This meme was too long...but I love that you are/were vague in Spanish. I am vague in English and I am sure you have noticed after reading my blog for so many months! I did like learning much of this stuff about you.
