It’s Thanksgiving… are you sitting in front of the computer with your pants unbuttoned, trying not to fall asleep from Food Coma or are you still dreaming of Gorging To Come? I hope your guts are/will be overflowing with turkey and gravy and such. If you’re gassy, open a window, I don’t want you stinking the place up.
That’s my job.
To say I was tagged for the “7 Random Things About You” Meme would be an understatement. It would, in fact, be like saying that Britney Spears is just a lil’ bit skanky.
(When I wrote that, I thought, “She’s a lil’ bit Skank-try, she’s a lil’ bit Rock ‘n Whore.” I amuse myself greatly.)
I was lovingly tagged by:

1. My hands and fingers peel when the seasons change. I am not making this up. I have NO IDEA WHY. But it always happens. Maybe there’s snake somewhere in my lineage.
2. I have an inverted uterus. It’s all flipped the wrong way inside me. Kinky!
3. English was not solely my first language. I spoke both Swiss-German and English when I began talking. A first sentence was, “Muetti hat ein kopf!” Translation? “Mommy has a head!” Newsflash: I’ve always been a moron.
4. I used to be a hopeless drunk. I gave up drinking for good in February 2007.
5. I have actually become so enraged that I punched myself in the head to avoid hitting anyone else. I’m a genius like that.
6. I believe in God, and I don’t think He minds the fact that I don’t pretend to be perfect.
7. I have a disgusting mole on my lower back that grows hair. It might even have a leg by now. I am going to have it removed and get a tatoo of a lotus flower, once I’ve had all my babies. Problem is, I don’t know how many babies I want anymore!
I was also tagged for a “5 Things” meme by Kelly @ Kellyology, so I’ll just tack those on here.
8. I’ve been missing my husband A LOT this month. He’s been gone “making the donuts” more than usual.
9. My home has been INSANELY dirty and disorganized lately. It’s seriously been worse than it has ever been, and this entire past week it has literally been making me feel sick. I can’t seem to find the energy to get it in gear and clean the mother up.
The thing that’s growing out of the pile of junk in my bedroom keeps making sexual innuendos at me, too, and I just don’t feel safe sleeping in there unless John’s home.
10. My face is quite asymmetrical. See?
11. I have seen a golf cart fly over a hill and down into a pond in the middle of the night. I have had to jump out of it before it completed the journey. I have rolled down the hill, watching the cart fly to its final destination. I have looked at the faces of the others, and laughed so hard I thought I would die. I have been ashamed and yet proud of this story.
12. My real first name is Lotus. It’s a flower. My real middle name is Siva. It’s a Hindu God. My real maiden name is Wuensch. It means “wish.” I am a candidate for “Most Freaking Hippy Name In The Universe.”
And to make this qualify for Thursday Thirteen! (I am so delighfully cunning!):
13. If you would love to read even more useless trivia relating to me, I actually did a Meme very similar to this one back on September 14. It was my very first “tag” event, actually. It’s a “10 Things” Meme, and it’s HERE.
And I’m going to risk pissing off the internet gods of the blogging world by *gasp* NOT TAGGING ANYONE (consider this your Thanksgiving present, likely suspects).
Besides, I have no idea if there is even anyone left who hasn’t done this one. This meme has run rampant through the blogging world during NowBlowSomeGoats kind of like stupidity and apathy does in the general population on any given day. What?
Happy Thanksgiving, my friends. Peace Out.
Wanna see more Thursday Thirteen?

#12: I’d totally vote for you!
Thanks for the great list, it was so much fun to read
Btw, it was nice to meet you, and I’m sorry that you instantly dropped dead after not tagging anyone.
Happy T-Day, greets Julia

Funny Meme Lotus.
Happy Thanksgiving Lotus!

Based on some of what you shared, I must ask if you have ever read anything by Anne Lamott? Trust me…if you haven’t, do. I would suggest Traveling Mercies or Operating Instructions as great starts.
She is a recovering alcoholic and drug user. She is a born again Christian…but the most irreverent born again Christian you’ll ever meet. She’ll make you laugh out loud. She too would share the golf cart story proudly!
i am the diva
i don’t know why, but i love reading other people’s random lists.
also, i think Lotus Siva is a beautiful name.
happy Thursday Thirteen, and if you’re American (i’m not) happy Thanksgiving.
my TT is here.
SJ
What a great list! It’s great to learn new things about people!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

Dear Flower Goddess Wish,
You are interesting!
Happy thanksgiving
Secret Agent Mama
Is it redundant of me to say I want to be your best friend, I want to sit and talk with you, I want to hug you, I want to make you some food to eat, I want to… Meh, I’m stalking you again! Be’fraid!a
dawn
ha ha. Mine goes up tomorrow and I tagged you for it too. I’d go change it – but hello – LAZY!!
(And trying to write the GD 50000 words for that other Nano.)
TX Poppet
Your given name is beautiful. I think I’d like your parents. Wishing you and yours a peaceful, joyful Thanksgiving.
mountainmama
Oh, she of the name that reads like love poetry, and the asymmetrical face (God, you’re brave – I wouldn’t slap my face in that close-up on here…people might see the cracks!) – you’ve done it again, Lotus, not sure whether to laugh or cry…so I’ll laugh along with you. Great list!
Veronica
Happy Thankgiving! I almost wish we celebrated it, must be a good excuse to gorge on yummy food. Xmas cant come fast enough.
Meh@ the messy house. As I type this, Nat is is the process of cleaning the house. YAY for spouses.
Chantelle
Pretty darn funny all of it.
I was almost named Sunshine Love, which would have made me a fellow contender. Although Lotus is far more original.
Linda R. Moore
Fun. My hands dry out with the season changes, too. It’s just a change in the humidity…
I did four TTs this week, so that I could avoid cooking dinner as long as possible. (Well, I wrote three, edited one.)

My house is in shambles too. I know it won’t clean itself, but I figure I’ll muster the energy to clean it at some point in life.
Leslie
Lotus, you’re hilarious!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Goats- Hilarious!
Can. Not. Stop. Laughing!
The innuendos from the laundry pile….genius.
A “certain” blogger needs to watch her back! ~wink, wink, nudge, nudge!~
Karen MEG
Great post… you’re a pro now, weaving in and out of the themes that way.
I’m desperate for posting material… may have to blow some goats to have something to write about. Eight more days and counting…
Suzanne
Thank you! I loved the mental pictures you painted.
Just think, only eight more posts to come up with. Woohoo.
Asymmetry is cute.
Tipped uterus-been there, done that.
Your name is beautiful. I’ve heard some really out there names-yours flows much better than many others.
A Jill of All Trades
I have a mole on my arm that has grown hair and a 3rd arm that has punched me in the face for not having it removed already. I just keep pulling the hair out of it.
KIDZMAMA
Great post. I read your blog almost everyday and enjoy your humor and pics.
That tattoo idea is brilliant!
Happy Late Thanksgiving.
MomOnTheGo
This was a fun and upbeat list to read. Thanks for sharing.
Sadie
Thank goodness you didn’t tag! I haven’t done this one *lol* I’ve done the ’8 things’ meme…but noa on the 7 *snicker*
But I LOVE reading others random lists. You learn the most interesting things that way!! Hooray for random!!!
Nicholas
That’s a very enjoyable, and revealing, list. Thank you!
tiff
Oh so funny.
my first bloggy fix of the day, nay, week and it was a good choice, I must say!
damozel
That was a REALLY funny list. But isn’t EVERYONE’s face asymmetrical? I admit that mine is more so than most (and MUCH more so than yours). I always think I look a bit like a Picasso.
I second Di’s suggestion re: Anne Lamott. She rocks. I love Plan B and Traveling Mercies. She’d love your list too.
E Flo
Yay!
You are awesome.
Happy Thanksgiving!
ann michele

BipolarLawyerCook
OMG, #1 and #2, me too! So bizarre.
Karleigh
You forgot to mention that mole in your armpit that always seems to attract my attention when you raise your arm.

You are the best, lady. I love each and every one of your freakish parts.
