Enough About You, Let's Talk About Meme

Well, I've taken a few days off and now I must forget about all the fun of presents and eating like a freaking pig enjoying time with family and get back to the demanding job of blogging. My new blogger friend, Jim, aka Busy Dad, has tagged me (hooray! I'm IT!) He tagged me for my first Meme to share 7 random facts about myself. I love that I know what Meme means now. Anyhow, I'm a teensy-weensy bit worried that I've run out of interesting/lame/curious/weird facts about myself, since I just did my 100-list a few DAYS ago, and I'm all listed-out. In fact, I can't come up with a SINGLE THING about me - it's been stressing me out and making me sweat at night, but, since I dig Jim's blog and think he's ultra cool for being such an awesome dad, I'll have to oblige by taking my best shot at it. I've also decided to add a few things about me that you can find on You Tube (because I love it and find myself there a la-hot)... here goes with the official instructions...

1. I secretly want to be a famous singer and also, at the same time, want even more to be on Saturday Night Live - even once. I like to think my singing voice is reminiscent of Wynona Judd, Nora Jones, Vanessa Carlton and Indigo Girls (no, I'm not gay, but I pretend to be one when I'm singing their awesomeness.) Perhaps a little something like this.

2. I'm uber-competitive - like on our CA vacation this summer, I was playing a friendly little game of Scrabble with my mom (the self-proclaimed best Scrabble player ever), and she was sucking my wind and complaining about the "damn letters she was getting stuck with", and whining about her horrible luck, blah blah blah. I finally said "stop being the victim here and just admit you suck." Ya, she almost drop-kicked me and headed back home on foot. (Don't even think about it, man. I'll add an "S" to make your word plural and use all 7 of my letters to triple-word-score you, baby.)

3. Let's see... my 2nd most embarrassing moment (ugh I can't believe I'm saying this, but I seriously can't even speak my most embarrassing moment out loud, so there's NO way I'm posting it on the internet for the lurkers in countries I can't even pronounce) - the only thing I'll say is it has to do with being 9 months pregnant and getting a bikini wax. Anyhow, to my 2nd-most embarrassing moment... in 5th grade - I had a crush on M.M., who I was sitting next to and I was just doing homework or something - looking down, minding my own beeswax and trying to send invisible love signals to Mr. M, when along comes Gina, aka Miss Perfectly Popular, who came behind me (she & I were friends, mind you) and she gave my sides a little squeeze and walked away, floating me a wink. Now she thought this was a cute way to express her friendship, however, when this happened, it became my almost-most-embarrassing-moment-ever, because - as I jumped up from the scare, being the ticklish thing I am, I ...tooted. In front of M.M. and I'm pretty sure there's NO way he or anyone else around me didn't notice. Wow I really can't believe I'm telling this, but people - I was in 5th GRADE! OK? Look - other FAMOUS people do it.. I've never done it since, so let's forget I ever mentioned it and move on...

4. I've been on a TV show before - called "Cookin' With Rita" - she was the first Oprah about 25 years ago, and I got to sit in the audience and watch her interview someone on how to make 'delicious homemade icecream' (they really used mashed potatoes so it wouldn't melt under the hot camera lights.) There you go - my 15 minutes of fame.

5. I used to be a server in the Eagles Bar & Grille in Telluride, CO, after college and I served Keith Karodine (Kung Fu)& Daryl Hannah (who doesn't know her??) some pancakes.

6. I still have literal nightmares about that job - we used to get so slammed for the apres-ski hour and all these uppety people would come in demanding their Hot Totties and Spinach Dip and such, and I forgot this one table's stupid rolls - like 14 times. They understandably got all upset and the manager gave them their meal free. Oh well. I can't tell you how many times I've dreamt about that... if only I remembered the rolls...

7. My 100-list is probably much more interesting, so just go look at that so I can get this thing done and go to bed.

***

I am tagging a few fellow bloggers I'd like to hear more about (no I'm not tagging 7 either, because Jim didn't, I won't either - I'm either a rebel or a follower) ...

1. My blogging-wonder-twin: OHMommy because even though you've done your 100-list already too, you said you could go on and on, so here you go girl.
2. My first blogging friend Angie who taught me the value of doing nothing and liking it.
3. My newest blogging friend Irene because she wraps pretty presents and takes pretty pictures.
4. To Tootsie Farklepants because 'with a name like that, it's got to be good.'
5. To Mountain Momma, because you sound so interesting!
