  • The Unspectacular Meme

    Helen, of Windows Toward the World, tagged me with this unspectacular meme and I figure what better way to greet the week’s end than by telling you six unspectacular things about myself.

    I sometimes have trouble with memes because I’m not very imaginative, but this is sure enough an easy task.

    1. I was born on a Thursday, which, I suppose, gives me far to go. Does that mean I will go far? Might be time to get started.
    2. I work in a basement office and some days I don’t see daylight from morning to night.
    3. I am slightly claustrophobic and try to avoid crowded elevators and buses.
    4. A palm-reader (non-professional) once told me that I would only ever have one pregnancy. That turned out to be true, but I have two children. Moral: never make assumptions.
    5. I like to read detective fiction.
    6. I talk babytalk to my cats but I never did talk baby talk to my babies.

    Meme terms & conditions

    1. link the person who tagged you
    2. mention the rules on your blog
    3. list 6 unspectacular things about you
    4. tag 6 other bloggers by linking them

    Tagging is always difficult for me because I don’t want to ask somebody to play who doesn’t want to, so if you don’t want to, just tell me to go away, okay?

    I tag:

    Jessie of 58 Inches
    Tommy of The Falcon’s Gyre
    Terry of I See Invisible People
    Rebecca of Pocahontas County Fare
    Dave of Via Negativa
    Rabbitswift of Just One Life

One Response to “The Unspectacular Meme”

  1. Hi Sherry, Thanks for playing along. I’m not a big meme person either. I think, this, too, shall pass.
