Meme-ity Meme Meme Meme
I was recently tagged for this “Crazy Eights” Meme by:
Looks like the Fates really wanna know mah Eights, ya’ll! Woot!
8 things I’m passionate about:
1. My Son
I think it’s a good rule that anything that comes out of your hoohoodilly, and can actually breathe, should be an object of your passion.
2. My Husband
Gotta keep those footrubs comin, man.
3. Photography
The power to freeze a moment in time delights the control freak in me, I think.
4. This wonderful Bloggity World, and currently NaBloSomeHos!
I think this has become very evident, but I’m enjoying this carnival ride, yo.
5. Laughing. A lot. All the time.
AT EVERYTHING.
6. FOOD.
I have officially nicknamed myself “The Goat.” Or unofficially. Depends on how much credence you give me.
7. Sleeping
That thing I used to do, back in the day. Word.
8. CHEESE.
Yes, I know that it seems this was covered in #6, but Cheese is so fabulous, it gets a place of its own to sit and preen. Love the Cheese.
8 things I want to do before I die:
1. Have More Babies
I don’t know how many, yet. But for some reason, I think that my life isn’t filled with enough dookiestink already, and I’m yearning for more.
2. Own a piece of land in the country, build a house on it.
This way, I can isolate myself from people who annoy the bejeebus outta me.
3. Write and publish a Real, Big Girl Book
This intimidates me. That is why I must conquer it.
4. Grow my armpit hair so long I can braid it.
What? Don’t lie. You know you want to do it, too.
5. Somehow teach my children to intuitively favor love, humanity, compassion, honesty, and tolerance.
6. Visit the Motherland.
This means I want to be in Germany, shoving copious amounts of bratwurst in my facehole.
7. See all my children grow up and have children of their own.
So I can point and laugh at their misery.
8. Taste every kind of cheese ever made.
Twice.
8 things I say often:
1. I love you. (my favorite thing to be inspired to say. I am lucky, in that it happens a lot)
2. I miss you. (say that way too often)
3. You ate it! (burp game, anyone?)
4. Shut up! (sarcastically, of course)
5. @%!^#*&@#! (bad habit. rubbing off on my kid)
6. Nooo-noooo, Braden…. (deterring)
7. Very Good! (rewarding!)
8. HARDER. (while having my feet rubbed, you sicko.)
8 Books I’ve read recently (or am still reading):
1. What to Expect The First Year – Murkoff, Eisenberg, & Hathaway (over & over)
2. Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You Hear? – Eric Carle (also over & over)
3. The Talisman – Stephen King (started over)
4. Everything’s Eventual – Stephen King (again)
5. Peekaboo Zoo – Lamaze (over & over & over & over….)
6. Ethan Frome – Edith Wharton (currently)
7. The Girlfriend’s Guide to Toddlers – Vicki Iovine (dabbling. I’m not liking it as much as the pregnancy edition)
8. Unbearable Lightness of Being – Milan Kundera (this book breaks my heart, you must read it)
Have Crime & Punishment (Dostoevsky) in my sweaty, little hand, for next “new” book, and am about to re-read Aunt Erma’s Cope Book (Erma Bombeck). Oh, Erma, how I love thee.
8 Songs I Could Listen to Over and Over (And do!)
1. All of Me – Billie Holiday
(Frankly, anything by her. She is a QUEEN.)
2. Here Comes the Sun – The Beatles
(Again, there are so many Beatles songs that utterly delight me.)
3. Blind Man – Aerosmith
4. Comfortably Numb – Pink Floyd
5. Honey Bee – Tom Petty
6. Aeroplane – RHCP
7. Dream a Little Dream of Me – Mamma Cass Elliot
8. Tuesday Morning – Michelle Branch
I have to say that a) I like most of the other work of these artists, and b) Choosing only 8 songs sucks BLOATED DONKEY SAC. *ahem*
Pardon me. I’m working on my ‘bloggin tourette’s.’
8 Things that Attract Me to My Best Friends:
1. The size and shape of the buttocks.
This is vital. I will not disclose the specific requirements.
2. Sense of humor.
Like, you wouldn’t have guessed that, would you?
3. Ability to LISTEN.
Because I will talk non-stop. So, really, it’s a must. I WILL quiz you.
4. The desire to babysit my child while I take a nap.
This will shoot you RIGHT to BFF status.
5. Down to Earth.
I am SO not into the highstrung.
6. You will hug me if I need it.
I am needy. Love me.
7. BE REAL.
I have NO desire to maintain a friendship with the person you want me to THINK you are.
8. Capability to let ME be real.
I want you to like ME, not who you wish I was. Word.
8 People I Think Should Do Crazy Eights:
1. Sarah, imaginary binky
6. Beck, Frog & Toad Are Still Friends
7. Fussypants, Fabulous Mommy Fussypants’ Guide to Life
8. Kara, You Can’t Reason With Crazy
And even if you’re not tagged, I’d like you to tell me the #1 thing you can be heard saying most often, in the comments section. I’m curious.
And now you know everything you ever needed to know about me in Eights. You may die in Peace.





Stephen
Cool blog, I might have a crack at this.
Seeing as Food and Chesse was on your list, have you ever tried Bacon with Chesse? Trust me it’s a lot better than it sounds.
Geggie
You crack me up.
“Hi B.” That’s short for Princess Buttercup the cat. I work from home and she’s meows everytime you say it. She’s my assistant.
Stephen
The one thing a say the most at the moment is “If you want to talk about it give me a call” I have a few friends that are down at the moment.
Average Jane
Lately, I’ve found myself sarcastically saying “That was a bold choice,” fairly often.
Ann
I have caught myself saying, “Please don’t make me repeat myself!” over and over
Bren
You had me “hoohoodilly!” Thanks for the laughs.
I answered this in my meme but one thing I find myself saying over and over again is “Legos do not belong in the toilet.” For some reason, my son thinks they look nice floating in the bowl.
Amy
This was really really great. Hoohoodilly — hee hee. What you want to teach your children – amen to that!! And the friend list. Love the friend list!!
Crime and Punishment is my favorite book. It is amazing.
janet
“bite me.”
i’m not proud of it, but i find that IS the phrase that falls out of my sweet lips more often than not.
i’d like to say it was “i love you” … but it’s not
Bill
I suppose since you tagged me to do this I’ll have to do it. Those are the rules right?
I was looking for a subject for today’s post so at least now I have an idea. Write and publish a real book….this will most certainly be on my list. I’ve already got braidable armpit hair. I know …that’s hot.
Kimberly
I swear if I had a nickel for everytime I said “time to get dressed/put your shoes on” I’d be a wealthy woman.
shauna
Lately I’ve been saying, “can you think of a nicer way to ask for that?” more than I care to admit.
Cheese.
*sigh*
How I love cheese.
sleeping mommy
“dude”
It’s so flexible. you can say it in just about any situation to just about anyone given the right inflection.
Secret Agent Mama
“Did you brush your teeth?”
Toni
“I hate living here” has been my mantra as of late; I’m not proud of it, nor do I really feel that way but it has been a rough several weeks.
nylonthread
Unfortunately, I think I’ve been saying, “DO NOT drink the bathwater!!” more than anything else lately.
Trenches of Mommyhood
“Just a minute.”
I say this frequently in the Trenches, as all 3 boyz are demanding my attention. Constantly. At once.
angieharrison110103@hotmail.com
“OH SNAP or SHOOT” I say it all the time. It just comes out like I have no control over it.
Melissa
the thing i say the most?
“PLEASE use your inside voice.”
Robin
“Whatever”
Hydes Like Us
Listen- the truth is I usually just “skim” right on over the the Meme posts–(I know, I know. It’s not pretty but it’s true). But I read yours. I don’t know where I’m going with this- I guess I’m flirting? Whatever.
Hmmm…I say “really?” a lot. Like “really? Really? Is this where we are?”
-HH
Suzanne
Yay, I wasn’t tagged. Nanny nanny boo boo! (can you tell I have kids running around this house)
What do I say the most?
Awesome
Would you please?
I Love You
Does that make you feel better?
Does that get you what you want?
What happens when you react like that?
NO
I am not asking you, I am telling you!
Who is in charge here?
The life with Asperger’s syndrome inspired most of them. I feel like I missed my calling as a lawyer, because I could do a mean cross examine, dude!
Anglophile Football Fanatic
LOVE you! I seriously dig cheese, too. And, the armpit hair. Be still my heart. Another shave binger?? AHHH> I’m so proud of your for even attempting Crime & Punishment. It’s so daunting for me! Butt shape is such an important quality. Mine is an 44 double E.
Marlee
#1 thing I am heard saying the most often?
“If you do that ONE MORE TIME you are going to be ON YOUR BED!!!”
Boring, I know, but it’s the sad state of my life right at the moment…(sigh)…
imaginary sarah
Ding dang, woman. Alright. I’ll do your meme-ries. But only if you show me your mammaries.
You must really like big butts, since I have enough junk in the trunk to have five yard sales.
Kellan
Fun! I liked a lot of your answers. I can be heard saying, “Welcome to my world,” a lot. See ya.
Christine (Sippy Cups and Blackberries)
Oh no, I tagged you too – but a different one
I love your blog!
Karleigh
Hmm, every type of cheese twice? Well, you may have to try Casu Marzu just once. Yeah, that’s the kind that riddled with maggots and is illegal in the only place where people want to eat it.
BTW, I thought of you when I found the following page:
http://www.cracked.com/article_14979_6-most-terrifying-foods-in-world.html
Phrase I say most?
“Your mom.”
But I’m pretty sure you knew that, well, at least your mom did.
Veronica
Cheese, oh the glorious cheesyness. Yummmm
OK you tagged me. Again. I shall get on it quicksmart.
Looky at all your comments you have turned into a comment queen! Lucky you
Oh and babysitting Braden? Gladly, but I don’t think he’d fit safely in a box for you to post him here. And the buttocks?? What happens if I don’t have a bum? I want my bum back *sniff*
Jenny
Most oft repeated phrase: 50 million.
Whenever there is excess of anything, there are 50 million.
As in: today there were 50 million cars on I-40 and Ian spilled 50 million goldfish crackers on the floor. I have 50 million loads of laundry to do and I owe like 50 million dollars on my credit card.
Amy the Mom
Mmmmm….cheese!
The phrase I use say the most often…this is so stupid, I can’t believe I say it…but “What’s up dawg?” I say it to my kids, my husband, and my coworkers.
Awesome blog! Glad you found me!
dawn
I’m highstrung. Sigh
Oh, The Joys
Doh!
(BTW – the nablomeho widget is massively slowing down how fast your site loads.)
red pen mama
I read this post, and didn’t know what to leave in comments.
And then I listened to myself today.
In first place is: “Listen to me.” Repeated about five times each time it’s said. Because it is said to my 3 year old who has the attention span of all 3 year olds. Maybe hers is a little shorter; her dad is slightly ADHD.
Second place is: “Yeah, I have one of those.” Said about having a person in my life just like a person in another person’s life; usually not a compliment.

I most frequently say one word…”dere,” and I actually pronounce it that way…must be some latent German coming out in me. I say it when I’m placing a snack/glass of Koolaid/plate of food in front of my son’s face. I say it when I’ve dug Legos out from between the couch cushions AGAIN. I say it when I’ve helped him turn his inside-out shirt around the right way. So dere.
PoppieGirl
“Cool” or “Sweet” are my most spoken things.
I love the “5. Down to Earth.
I am SO not into the highstrung.”
That is SO me. I have a couple coworkers like this (highstrung) who don’t do coffee…thank goodness.
Caryn
That’s a lot of 8s! Looks like I have a lot of great blog to catch up on.
Qtpies7
“I’m so blogging that!”
My friends would all agree I say that a lot. Maybe even as much as I tell the kids to shut up and let me blog in peace.
Magpie
“I am full of good ideas” alternates with “I am very good at what I do” – both said with tongue firmly ensconced in cheek.
Beth K. Vogt
#1 thing I say the most:
What did you say? I couldn’t hear you.
Seriously, I have a hearing loss. And if people talk to me while they are turned away from me, I can’t hear them. My family does that a lot. Go figure.
I like the 8 things idea. May have to steal it and send it around my friends.
bubandpie
Oh my goodness.
I had no idea how often I uttered that phrase until my children started saying it all. the. time.
An Ordinary Mom
A good, hearty, daily laugh keeps me happy … that and chocolate
!!
Lisa Milton
Whenever I call someone, I always say, rapidspeedcrazyfast, “What are you doing?” My hubs loves to make fun of it because I sound like I’m interrogating folks. I don’t know why I say it.
I liked Iovine’s guide to ‘Getting your Groove’ back best – probably because I was sleep deprived. But I remember laughing aloud, like I do when I catch up on blogs now.
Avery Gray
My #1 thing I find myself saying an awful lot these days (for no reason):
Know what’s not funny? Syphilis.
It’s a thing.
Mmmm… Cheese…
Grandy
Great Meme!!
Regrettably, the phrase I say the most would be “Did you brush your teeth?” to my 11 year old son.
Secret Agent Mama
Can we be “In Real Life” friends?!?!
Cheese, arm pit hair, the music, using the words “facehole” and “dookiestink”…all of it!! I think I found my blog crush.
Now I must stalk you. It’s only appropriate that you do the same.
Sarah
That’s funny right there…and I don’t care who ye r! (From Mater in Cars~)
That is great! I am glad my friend shooed me over here! Thanks for making us all laugh!
Gina
“Jesus Christ” but not in a loving, prayerful way.
Sol
‘hoohoodilly’….Gah, that makes me giggle every time hear it in my head (which = every 5 seconds because it’s now on a continuous loop) LOVE it.
The Hotfessional
Shit.
All.The.Time.
the fruitfemme
One thing I’m saying lately is “Have you seen that blog post?!”
the Girls' Moma
“Obey or disobey?”
To the two Princesses.
I say this all. day. long.
Noahs Mom
