Nettie tagged me for this MeMe (which I think is very cool actually...one more step in my plan...
"What are we going to do tonight Brain?"
"Same thing we do every night...
TRY TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!"
"They're Pinky, they're Pinky and the Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain...")
OK sorry about that...slight diversion from the point... yes, um the Me Me...
What do you like most about where you live?
You know that quote by Helen Keller? The one that says "Life is either a daring adventure or nothing?" Well, that one is a huge part of my life...I love taking on experiences and opportunities. About a year ago, we plucked up our not so little family from our home in Washington State and plunked ourself down in Pennsylvania. Somethings are similar, but a lot is different. And while we miss our home in Washington very much, we are having a ball exploring the wonderful things here. This weekend we were in Hershey, PA...such fun!
Is there anything strange about where you live?
"Roads seem to be laid out by evil 5 year olds drawing on maps with crayons. There is no other explanation for traffic "circles" and "jug handles"." OK this was written by Nettie, but I second her. This weekend on said trip to Hershey, Tom commented that we did so well, we didn't get lost at all. And I had to mention we don't normally get lost...its just that Pittsburgh has destroyed our confidence in that secure feeling we like to call "sense of direction"...it doesn't seem to matter here. What I hate hate hate the mostest is these stupid stupid 4 street intersections that look like some sort of supernova...and then your directions say "turn left." Oh great that would be Left a, b, or c???
What's one of your all time favorite music albums, and why? 
Wow that's hard. Ughhhhh...this tends to change according to my moods. I guess right now I'll choose this one...Listen
Candy Coated Waterdrops by Plumb. Because I love the song "God Shaped Hole"
I could also add The Gorillaz (1st album), New Red Hot Chili Peppers double album (both awesome!), U2 Joshua Tree, U2 How to dismantle an Atomic Bomb, U2 Boy, The Cure Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me (Perfect Girl -- dang! Love that song!!!)
Did you have a passion for something as a kid that you still have now? (If not - what is one of your passions now?)
I still love books...of which I credit my Mom and my sister (she liked to read, so I had to like to read, because I didn't have anyone to play with while she was reading...). I also still love sports although I don't play as much as I used to (read: ever), but I love to watch.
I also like art, although I have swapped watercolors and pastels for photography and scrapbooking. I still write poetry occasionally.
What do you like most about having a blog?
I love the chance to tell my stupid stories, the things not really worth sending an email about and yet while I know they are stupid, I still want it told... Plus I am not only giving friends and family a way to keep up with us, I'm meeting new people too. How cool is that? Also I keep a hard copy so it serves as a journal too.
Who to tag??? I'll try my sister Handiemom, and my sister-in-law RaNell again (that worked out well last time didn't it RaNell? And maybe it will get HM to post again too...)
Can I tag more than two? How about Millie, Dawnyel and NCS???
Hmmm...Now I've got to think of some answers to those same questions! :) I LOVE that you quoted "Pinky and the Brain!" My family is absolute Animainiac Maniacs! Now I'm going to wander my house giggling to myself over Pinky quotes..."Uh, I think so, Brain, but where are we going to find rope at this hour?"

Oh boy... me? I'm so excited! Thank you! :)

It should be all about you.
We like the same music! Love The Cure (all of their albums), RHCP, U2, Gorillaz & Plumb ('God shaped hole' is an awesome song). How cool are we huh? HUH?
Love the Pinky & The brain quote, aaah, good times.
You tagged me? YAY! I must be very special or something.

Is Handiemom coming back? What is it that she's not telling?
Bet you told too much already, right? am I right?
Posted by: No Cool Story | September 18, 2006 at 12:17 AM
Dawnyel, lol! P: Gee, Brain, what are you doing over there?
B: Pondering your afterlife, Pinky.
TMM, try not to let it go to your head, ;)
NCS: We are very cool. And you are very special. As for Handiemom, lets just say its been a "fruitful summer" in Apple Valley...next February's harvest should be awesome!

Yay! You played! We still haven't done Hershey yet. It's definitely on our must do list, though.
Posted by: Nettie | September 18, 2006 at 09:26 AM
Well, HELLO, Stephanie! We've been busy over there, have we? :) Yay!
My meme will be up sometime this week.
"Try not to let it go to your head..." lol what a brat you are.
