Because all the old ones are gone
I don’t think there are any memes left on this site. Back in November-ish, (if you haven’t noticed), I removed everything. It was a personal decision – one that I only slightly regret – but all of my memes are gone, too. So, like, I’m sure you know nothing about me, right?
Annnywayyyyy, when Kerri over at Six Until Me posted this one, I decided I’d grab it.
Because stealing memes is one of the things I do.
40 Things

No. Blech. Gorgonzola, yes. Bleu? Uh-uh. - Have you ever smoked?

A glue gun? Yes. Although I’m scared of it so I rarely use it. - Favorite type of food?

Guitar blues. Think Eric Clapton. Chris Duarte. Mick Taylor. Muddy Waters. I’m also a HUGE Liz Phair fan. Go figure. - What do you think of hot dogs?
As long as they have mustard and relish (hold the ketchup and other Chicago-style crap), then I think they’re the perfect accompaniment to a summer baseball game. - Favorite Christmas movie?
A Christmas Carol. This one. No other will do. - What do you prefer to drink in the morning?

World Peace – I read that so like Sandra Bullock in Miss Congeniality *snort*
Mrs. Oh´s last blog ..A week and a half to 10 days…
Our basement is where non-functioning computers go to die. Sort of an IT elephant graveyard!
Fannie´s last blog ..Dauntless
I LOVE this meme. Weird questions–but they really cut to the heart of the matter, don’t they.
World peace, of course.
green girl in Wisconsin´s last blog ..grand gestures
OMG I actually hadn’t noticed the old stuff was gone. What rock have I been under? LOL blame it on Google Reader.
Twisting Ivy´s last blog ..THAT Mom
You’ll drive even less in a few weeks!
Too bad because the Avenger is a really sexy vehicle.
Violet´s last blog ..Stuff
Oh, I really like this meme. I may steal it.
Shelly´s last blog ..
OMG, I forgot the other part of my comment! How in the world can you prefer that version of A Christmas Carol to the George C. Scott version?! (He shared my birthday, FYI.)
Shelly´s last blog ..
You are a diverse and fascinating woman. Now, let me go get my college psychology notebook and figure out what Freud would say about you…

OK, got it! Turns out I need just a TAD more info:
Which shoulder would you wear your parrot on?
And do you take sweetener in your coffee?
I will have a full assessment ready soon! Be afraid. BE VERY AFRAID!
Krissa´s last blog ..Bowels aren’t the only things moving around here.
Let me make sure I have this right: You chose whiter teeth over your hair?
But gorgonzola IS blue cheese!
magpie´s last blog ..Eleven Into Fifty Minus Two Equals NINE
I’m stealing this
No, not really. 
And I totally ‘get’ choosing something else over hair… if my hair grew back I would constantly be worrying about it falling out again. Constantly. Every moment of every day.

I love that I can come here and get the laugh that I need to!!! Loved your ADD – DAD comment!
