Wow. I can't believe I got tag'd with a teacher meme. I am soooo not a teacher in how I immediately picture the word. I do NOT work well with large groups of children. Nor have I worked with children from difficult backgrounds. Yet Mrs. Who and Bou both have tag'd me with this meme.
I love working with my own kids and watching them learn and grow. Electronics, computers, magnets and more... In fact, one of my favorite was the volcanoes we made last summer.... with the flyby... (A great picture about learning in my eyes!)
Yet, this meme requires me to tag 5 more people. Thinking about who have been teachers to me in the blog-o-sphere, the first person that comes to mind is _Jon. Surprised? Shouldn't be if you were me. A couple of years ago, _Jon gave me a 'job' to do. I sucked at it. It was a programming job. I was tired, and would fall asleep with my laptop on my lap trying to do the work. I was getting an average of 3 hours a sleep at night, but I really wanted to do this. I desperately wanted to be able to use my brain again. And he never said an unkind word... trust me, I did MUCH better before children and what I sent him... sucked. But he encouraged me and taught me that I can think again, that I can try. He taught me that a kind word and encouragement can make a difference. That is a great teacher. Tag _Jon, you're it.
Now to come up with 4 more. I can easily come up with more, but I am going to try to give very specific things that I have been taught by the people I choose. Trust me it is hard to decide which ones... but I hope when I'm through you'll understand I couldn't include everyone.
Bou has already been tag'd and she is one of those that tag'd me... but she has been a great teacher in my life. She taught me about how to make a difference a positive difference in someone's life just by being there. When I was in pre-term labor with Tot, she would come by once or twice a week, take Tater for 45 minutes and let me have some very necessary and needed time to myself. She would also pick up around the house and clean up the dishes. Considering I was suppose to be on bed rest, it was amazing how exhausted I would be by the time she got there. Now that my children have reached the ages her kids were at the time, I have a deep respect for all that she did. She taught me that a simple act of kindness, of taking some of my time and giving it to someone else, can make a huge impact on that person's life in a positive way. Particularly since she got me started in blogging... Tag - sorta, since you already have it done.
Let's not forget Harvey. When I was a fledgling blogger, he took me under his wing and helped me out. He taught me what I needed to know about the 'unwritten' rules of blogging, he taught me how to gain readership (before becoming a part of mu.nu), how to be myself on my blog. He took the time to email me, and make me feel that I was doing ok. While he doesn't blog on his own 'home ground' as much any more, I am still tag'ing him.
The next one is an odd twist. It is someone who I found via another blogger... started reading her and was amazed at what she had to handle in her life. Her positive attitude most of the time. Then we talked via email because her son was diagnosed with asthma. She has taught me a great deal in remembering stuff my mom taught me, like how to be balanced and how to accept what is given to me. If you have not gone over to Cynthia at Walking On, you should. Cynthia, you need not do the meme, but I'm tagging you any ways.
There are a couple of blogs I read because they teach me about the world around me... my sister, Tink; physics geek; Ogre; and the one I'm going to add for my last tag... Decrepit Old Fool. Yep, I keep throwing out some crazy pitches. I may not necessarily agree with all of his opinions, but it is one of the reasons I read him. That and all the interesting stuff he puts out there. It requires me to keep thinking, keep learning. Isn't that what a teacher does? Keep you interested in learning? Tag, your it.
Enjoy and I hope everyone keeps on learning!
It was really hard not to pretend I was Tater and answer these... but here are my answers... for Lemon Stand and Tink
1. Who was your first prom date?
Danny
2. Who was your first roommate?
Nope, no roommate unless you count my first hubby.
3. Where did you go on your first ride on an airplane?
The one I remember was from Nebraska to Guam with stops in Seattle and Hawaii. (stole this from my sister, but I actually do remember this plane ride... we almost turned around and went back to Hawaii since the back doors didn't shut correctly).
UPDATE From my mom: We did turn around and go back .............Mom
4. When you snuck out of your house for the first time, who was it with?
Don't remember ever sneaking out of the house.
5. Whose wedding were you in the first time?
Tink's.
6. What was the first concert you ever went to?
Uhhh.... no clue
7. First tattoo or piercing?
Pierced ears.
Everyone has been tagged... phew....
Tag'd... I was tag'd!!! And it couldn't have been by a more schmooz-er-ific person... Pamibe. She saves any animal (what a softie), and keeps up with current affairs while making me laugh. And the best part??? She thought I was Schmoozable. GRIN
Hmmmm... self-absorbed, narcissistic, attention craving bloggers... hmmmm.... ok, how about the following:
AWTM? She has beautiful schmoochie children and wonderful experiences with them... wait that doesn't fit the bill for self-absorbed, narcissistic and attention craving...
Ohh... Boudicca! I just saw it on TV the other night... Seems that she should fit the bill... but then again, anyone that has children that purposely eat food to have stinky farts and finds it hilarious how it 'backfired'... can't be self-absorbed, narcissistic and attention craving... not with three boys.
Nope... let's try again... ahhh... Contagion! Darn... he is willing to make a fool of himself in front of the whole blog world... guess that means he is not very narcissistic... sigh.
How about Dazd? He's got commenters looking for weird science items. He has really interesting Caption Contests. Doesn't seem to be self-absorbed... geeze.
I give up. I enjoy schmoozing those that I read... but I give up after those 4. I just don't think I'm going to find any self-absorbed, narcissistic, attention craving bloggers in my blog roll. Just lots of good reading. Tag... your you're it.
Seems my 'adult' children are just full of surprises. Matthew has answered the meme as well! In fact, I loved this one:
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL?
Honey Nut Cheerios
In our house, those are known as Daddy Os. So much so, that I put that on the grocery list I give to my hubby. I love it when one of the kids see the commercial and say something about Daddy Os. Must be a male thing. GRIN
Go on over and take a peak. He put his in pages about himself, so no commenting available. But you can always send an email or comment on one of his other posts. Enjoy!
Some days even my 'adult' children surprise me. Sticks actually got the meme done in record time. Go take a peak and give her a hard time.

Though I didn't see any Shrek movies listed. I would have sworn those would be among his favorites. Looked like Monty Python is in that group. I'll have to look harder at some of the others.

My hubby got me sidetracked on someone named Frank Welker. Holy Smokes!!! That man has done so much and I didn't even know who he was until now. Go click on the link above and see if you recognize any of the movies or tv shows he has been involved with.
Thanks to Tink and Bou, I have to come up with 10 of my favorite movies. The worse part? I stink at remembering Movie names. I'll probably have to ask hubby what the name of the movies I like by giving him the plot. It will be entertaining to see who gets any of them right.
Wow. I was surprised at some of the Plot keywords. I think I will have some very interesting hits this week. And very disappointed they didn't have plot keywords for "VeggieTales, Lord of the Beans". Nope, it's not listed below... sigh...

Looks like just about everyone has been tagged. The only person I can be pretty sure hasn't been tagged ... and I'm going to tag him... is Ogre. **snicker** He has been doing meme's just about weekly, so NO Complaining and Whining that you don't do memes. GRIN. If there is anyone else out there that hasn't been tag'd, please do so and just let me know. That way I can link to you when you are done.
Deck the blogs with boughs of memes
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
'Tis why Bou is such a bully
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

With so many memes in this blog-o-sphere... I couldn't resist this one that I found over at MaryBeth's.... There is something about someone begging in the name of science or math that I can't resist...
I could've completed this little experiment without revealing its existence. Since I lack foresight, I'm stuck announcing my intentions and begging participation. Here's what I need you to do:1. Write a post linking to this one in which you explain the experiment. (All blogs count, be they TypePad, Blogger, MySpace, Facebook, &c.)
2. Ask your readers to do the same. Beg them. Relate sob stories about poor graduate students in desperate circumstances. Imply I'm one of them. (Do whatever you have to. If that fails, try whatever it takes.)
3. Ping Technorati.
Oh yaa... here's my PING Acephalous.
Go ahead... make a post and help spread this through the blog-o-sphere... I'll be interested to see the results.
Now that I have ensconced myself into Mom's blog... I will answer the meme that Aunt Tink sent over... 7 songs...
Here are the 'guidelines' that I saw: "List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they’re not any good, but they must be songs you’re really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your blog along with your seven songs."
1. Old McDonald
2. Twinkle twinkle little star
3. Baby Einstein Beethoven (the whole tape)
4. Trot Ol' Joe
5. Little Einstein Theme Song
6. Happy Birthday
7. The A says 'Ahhh', alphabet song from 'The Word Factory'
And if you have any other songs that might make my mom cringe, just let me know. I'm a quick learner.
Oh... if anyone else wants to give this meme a try, just let me know in the comments.
My blogmother tag'd me with a meme. I was tempted to have Tater or Tot do this meme but didn't have enough time... you are stuck learning about me.
1) A book that changed my life:
There are books that have changed my life but I can't remember their names... ohh... I do remember the name of one... the Bible.
2) A book I've read more than once:
Any Agatha Christie, Isaac Asimov, or Rex Stout (Nero Wolfe series)
3) A book I'd take to a desert island:
If it was just for a vacation, then any good fiction book. If I was stuck there for a while, a book on how to survive on a desert island.
4) A book that made me laugh:
101 Elephant Jokes
5) A book that made me cry:
Hmmm. Not any that I can remember. I have cried reading a book, but it is usually because it reminds me of something else and I quit reading it for a while. Once I get over the memory, I can read the book and not cry.
6) A book I wish had been written:
How to Survive with 2 Boys born 15 months Apart and only 3 hours a sleep a night.
7) A book that should never have been written:
There are some children's books I would rather not have been written after the 100th time I read them out loud... but one book? Naahh.
8) A book I'm currently reading:
Out of the Shadows by Kay Hooper
9) A book I'm planning to read:
Another Kay Hooper book
10) Five people I'll send these questions on to: Sticks (because she is out of town), Ogre (just because), Oddybobo (just so she'll post something...), Donna (because I have never given her a meme) and Rave (because she did a meme).
Found this first at Jennifer's... then saw that Jenny played along... I decided to give it a shot. If you wish to find out more about what I picked... click on the word Wikipedia in the first rule.

Most everyone I know has been tagged... if you haven't... tag yourself and give it a shot.
I must learn not to open my email. Gee Thanks Lee Ann (notice the sarcasm). It just brings me more work. I thought this meme would be easy until I started on it. Definitely more work. I am suppose to "Name the top 5 movies that you love that say "Christmas" to you."
Since I want to get this done... I'm naming the top 3.
1. The Bishop's Wife. The old classic.
2. How The Grinch Stole Christmas. Again, the old classic.
3. White Christmas always come to my mind.
There are others I have watched, but these say 'Christmas' to me. Guess I'll skip the other 2, since my brain has shut down. Next you are suppose to tag 5 people. Well... I only did 3 movies, so I'm only tagging 3 people:
1. AWTM
2. Richmond
3. Oddybobo
Just because.
Tagged. I can't believe I got tagged. Geeze, like I am strange in any way, shape, or form. Being smart enough NOT to ask my friends or family about this, I will list some habits I have. You can decide if they are strange or not.
1. I like to clean the kitchen BEFORE I cook. Clean it while I cook and clean up as soon as possible after I cook.
2. I love apple slices with either salt or peanut butter on them.
3. If I make cinnamon toast and it looks like there is not enough cinnamon sugar on it after I take it out... I add more.
4. I like my hot tea without sugar and my cold tea with sugar.
5. I prefer my water at room temperature and with NO ice (in fact most drinks I prefer no ice).
This is done because I needed to get it out ASAP before another person tagged me!!! It's bad enough to be tagged by two mathematical people like Bou and MathCog... I don't know if I could handle one more mathematician!
I'm worried. I tag'd people with a meme and they responded!!!
Boudicca's POST reminds us that a spouse may control the alarm clock.
Jenny's POST also has good cheer of "I'll be free for three and a half hours. FREE."
And Ogre just proves with THIS POST you need to be very simple and give very good directions to a programmer. Glad I didn't succeed. This is hilarious.
Because Oddybobo doesn't believe I have enough to do and she LOVES my initials, I got meme'd. Luckily, this is short and easy.
1. Do you use an alarm clock to wake up in the morning?
The kind that you plug into the wall? Nope, I have a 2 year old and a 3 year old that are always up by 6am. Who needs a stink'n alarm clock.
2. What time do you set it for?
When I do have to set it, it is usually for 1am or 2am. Got to get up and give those monsters medicine in the middle of the night occassionally.
3. Do you hit the snooze button? If so how many times?
I have tried reaching for my children, but they stay just out of arms reach. So I don't get to hit anything to help me snooze a little longer.
4. Have you ever abused an alarm clock?
Only on accident. The plug in kind. I tripped over the cord and the clock went flying into the wall. No more clock.
5. It’s time to spread some “It’s Blogcess” linky love.
Rules of the game, so I have been told:
First: (This has been redone for Ogre's sake). Copy and paste questions #1 thru #4 to a post on your site. Answer the questions to the best of your ability. Then copy #5 and include the link.(Make sure to link to: “It’s Blogcess”, which is the link in #5. Because it’s always polite to link to the one who started the linky love.)
Second: Link to my site (because it’s polite to link to the site that tagged you).
Third: Go and tag up to five other blogs, or more if ya like.
Fourth: Email the owner of, or post on the blogs that you have tagged, to inform them that you’ve tagged them.
Blast you Oddybobo... you got 2 of the ones I wanted to Meme. So here are a couple of others just to annoy them (and if you have already been tagged, tough it... add me to the link list and tell me I'm wonderful).
Consider yourself tagged:
"Five Things Society at Large enjoys, but that I, for the most part just don't get" from Lee-Ann. I was going to cheat and just link to 5 that had really cool answers, but I can't find them!!! I guess I have taken so long in answering this, most everyone else has theirs archived off. Sigh. I have tried to find 5 that weren’t already out there.
Here I go:
1. Paying for packing boxes. We must enjoy it as a society since everyone and their brother sells them. But it drives me crazy when you see them torn up and thrown away by stores. Then again, I need boxes for packing right now. ;-)
2. Pets roaming free in the neighborhood. Of course society in large thinks animals should be free to roam around, I see it every day. Cats, dogs, even guinea pigs on occasion. I don't. Fence in your yard, get a leash. I don't want your dog pee'ing on my kids’ toys, nor your cat prints on my car. I keep my animals either fenced in or on leash. Please do the same. Mind you, I’m the person who will take any animal given to me and lavish it with as much love as my own children. Our adopted dog has had TWO leg surgeries. I have been given horses, birds, and more. But they are domesticated animals, treat them as such.
3. Stupid laws. Enough said.
4. Looking into the lives of celebrities. I just don't get it. I don't care what they do off the screen. Don't tell me, don't publish it, don't care.
5. Basketball. WHAT? Really, I watch hockey (or use to), football, baseball, soccer, volleyball and a bunch of other sports. I just don’t get basketball. I just don’t get it.
Wasn't planning to pass this on, but Sally volunteered! It's all yours Sally.
