Thank you Erin for tagging me for this meme. I thought it was going to be a nice easy way to fill in a post for the day. I was WRONG! It's hard to think of 8 things for each category! But it's fun and I enjoy reading other people's responses, so all is not lost. LOL.
8 Things I Am Passionate About
- God (see my other blog.)
- My husband (nearly 12 years and the passion is still growing!)
- My children (*most* of the time lol)

- Music (it has the ability to move in a way nothing else seems to)
- Reading (especially when I *should* be doing housework)
- My Garden (when it's alive)
- Food (and yes, chocolate IS one of the 5 major FOOD groups)
8 Things I Want to Do Before I Die
- Get old!
- Spend time with my grandchildren (assuming I have some)

8 Things I Say Often

Well, I'd best be away to give these people the good news, or maybe they'll just read it here???? Nah, better go tell them. Wouldn't want them to think I was rude or something (or that I assume they read my blog lolol). Hopefully I've chosen people who haven't already had a go. If you're not on the list and you'd like to have a go.....TAG....you're it. ;-)

Of course I totally read your blog!
And thank you for tomorrow's post topic! :)
I'll do it tomorrow or Thursday. Thanks for the meme!
Kate
oh noooo...my brain is hurting already!!!! I'm on the case! lolx
p.s. I had a guy in year 9 stalk me at the bus stop with his tape player so he could loudly play "in too deep" by Genesis when I hopped off. Oh the pain!
wow, what great lists!!
thanks for the MeMe ~ this'll be fun to do :) though I'm not sure about the 8 songs....
Liked the 'yes' and 'no' sayings!!
How's the novel? Are you soldiering on, or are you joining Scott and I in abject surrender?? Your comment made me laugh A LOT!!!
Just read your Strawberries comment over at the Tin house and left an answer there instead of coming over here with it......heh-heh.
River - thank you. Saw that comment. :-)
Frogdancer - ask me again on November 30th whether I'm soldiering on with my novel or not. LOL. Yes, don't aske me why when you 2 were the ones who convinced me to give it a go!!! LOL. Actually at 25,000 words I was in a panic but I've just passed 30,000 and I'm starting to enjoy it again. You two should keep writing though - doesn't matter how long it takes really. Nano is just a good way to get started (or back into it as the case may be).
Ali - skip that bit if you want. No one will know. LOL.
Lisa - that sounds scary. This guy would have been in trouble if he stalked me at the bus stop. His mum was the lollipop lady at the crossing right next near the bus stop. LOL.
Kate - have fun. Looking forward to reading your answers. :-)
Cellobella - thank you. :-) Look forward to seeing what you have to say.
L, meme is done and dusted! I found it really hard to think about all these things. Just goes to show how much the brain can slow down when you spend half your day yelling out "get down off the coffee table", and "turn the television off", and of course the classic, "you don't have to eat it but there's nothing more until breakfast"....that's why I love reading blogs and commenting on them - makes me feel like a real grown up with important things to say (unlike right now when I'm just rambling...) lol x
