My friend PG over at Annoyingly Boring (great title, eh?) tagged me with this meme, as a way of encouraging me to give these things another try (thanks, Pat!). PG’s a funny guy who makes entertaining videos about his continuing weight loss program. He’s doing a great job! Anyway, the meme is cleverly called, “1, 2, 3, 4, 5 … Meme Time” and it’s a kind of pyramid meme where you provide responses that increase at a rate of one per answer (yeah, I’ve been helping my kids with their math homework). You’ll see what I mean as you read it.

Name one thing you do everyday:

  1. Okay, well, I can’t resist going with PG’s answer here. I eat everyday (and drink water).

Name two things you wish you could learn:

skiing
  1. To ski really, really well.
  2. To play golf really, really well.

Name 3 things that remind you of your childhood:

  1. Board games
  2. Books
  3. Hot chocolate
hot cocoa

Name 4 things you love to eat but rarely do:

  1. Mashed potatoes
  2. Gelato
Vivoli - Il Gelati - A Life Worth Eating
Moonstruck Chocolate Truffle

4. Nothing else (unless I could include something like dinner at Taillevent in Paris or utterly amazing food on the coast in California or fresh, organic food in the Northeast. Ooooh yeah…)

    Name 5 things/people that make you feel good:

    1. My husband
    2. My kids
    3. Beautiful, bright sunny days
    Sunny Beach

    4. Podcasting

    5. Writing/reading a really good post or a really good book

    Now, here’s where I’m supposed to tag someone, but I’m doing it a little differently this time. If you’d like to join in and do this meme, please do so! If not, no problem.

    But, how ’bout going to visit PG’s blog (or just leave a comment).

      1. PG

        Thanks for humoring me! I think you did a smashing job. And thanks for the kind words.

        [Hey, thanks, PG!

      2. I’m not a fan of memes myself, but have done a few in the past. I never do the tagging thing though.

      4. Great meme. I usually hesitate to tag as well; but I find people usually play if they need it for crazy blogging like Blog 365 – I know they came in handy for NaBloPoMo!

        Bloghoppin’ Hi!

      5. Wait – Someone actually got mad that you tagged them? I don’t get it. Getting tagged gives you link love and recognition. If you don’t want to do it, then just don’t do it. Simple as that. But mad?? Some people need to follow my lead and drink more whiskey. It mellows you out.

      6. I’ve never been tagged and I’ve only done one meme but you’ve inspired me with this little exercise…
        .. need some fuel to light the fire under me this a.m. I’m groggy and bloghopping – My first time here- really nice site!
        Cheers,

        Lizziee

      7. Thanks for passing the meme torch. I took it and posted it on my blog today, and four of my community members posted their own responses.

        BTW, I love the beach picture.
