Stephanie, aka bad mom, tagged me for the 7 random things meme. And I realized it’s about 100th post time for me! woo hoo! Consider this a little foretaste of the traditional 100 things list.
1. Eggplant makes me throw up. Do not try to sneak it into my food. ‘Nuff said.
2. Buy now, save later! I am becoming addicted to bargain shopping at CVS and at Meijer stores using The Grocery Game’s list. I’m not sure this is a good thing. But, yes, it is fun. If you’re interested, I can hook you up and you can take it for your own test drive. I am learning things…about bargain shopping, and about myself.
3. One of the things on my thankful list this year is Barney. Yes, I was one of those people who swore he would never be watched in my house. And, no, my kids are not particularly interested in him at this stage of the game. But I don’t think I would tell my kids ‘I love you’ nearly as much if it weren’t for Barney. Those words didn’t come easily in my family when I was growing up. But good ‘ole Barney said it enough for several lifetimes. It flows effortlessly from me now.
4. I love Hello Kitty. I’m not sure why. But apparently this unexplainable love was genetically transmitted to my daughter.
5. I don’t have cable. (Blogging is the new cable, isn’t it?)
6. In college, I won the Margaret Beatty Courtney poetry prize. This was my last major literary honor until my honorable mention in the Haiku Buckaroo contest.
7. Even though I am an introvert, after we moved to Illinois I went knocking on neighbors’ doors to find playmates for my extroverted child. I am not sorry.
I’m tagging Sincerely Anna, Knightly Chats, Jill @ The Diaper Diaries, David @ Conscious and Occasionally Organized Ramblings and Cindy @ Happy Chaps. If I haven’t tagged you, you’ve either already done it — or you don’t seem to be much of a meme-er. So if you’re reading, and you want to play, consider yourself tagged…and take pity on me and leave a comment! It’s my 100th post!
Thanks a lot. heehee ! I was sitting here wondering what I would post today!
Oh, I’m all over it. I was thinking about hopping on to the Grocery Game fun after the new year. I hate eggplant, too, and I understand the Hello Kitty thing, except my obsession is Suzy’s Zoo. Happy 100th post!!
:O Oh My! 100th post! Congratulations!
I shall try to remember that, about the eggplant. I like it in certain things, myself, but it makes my mouth itch.
AAH, that’s tag number 2 for this meme. That means I really must do it. Write me off line and let me know where you live if you will. THere are only Meijers in so many places.
Congrats on 100 posts. Now you know you must do the traditional 100 things about yourself post.
The Barney thing makes me cringe, but if it worked for you, God bless him
I will join you in the Hello Kitty love fest, though - and my daughter is all over it, too. Weird how that goes, huh?
Happy 100! (How do you keep track??)
blogging is the new cable? hahahah.. Good line.
and I’m a little leary of your blog after reading the Barney thing. Really, BARNEY? what?
Oh, great…now I’m going to lose my 11 readers over the Barney scandal! I’m just sayin’…the Lord is able to Romans 8:28 all things…even annoying purple dinosaurs. My daughter loved it with such an innocent devotion in those early days, it had to be done. Be open to the Spirit, people.
I need to try that Grocery game one of these days!

Thanks Elaine for tagging me and helping this newbie figure it all out. Ohhhh the great Barney debacle… that always gets a few riled up. For us personally, it’s Sesame Street or nuttin’ in this house. Good for you for knocking on doors to find a playmate. I kinda did that in a cyber way - love my mom’s board!
Love the Hello Kitty cake - adorable : ) and great list too! I’m not an eggplant fan either ; P
