Memes by the bundle….
I’m crazy behind on some tags and considering my brain is mush from having had the flu bug this past week, I figure this is a perfect opportunity to tackle some tags all in one post!
Both Janeen and Thea tagged me for the “My Favorite Restaurant” Meme. Okay unfortunately this one I have to jam out on. Due to my son’s extensive food allergies we rarely eat out. In fact, I live in a really small town with barely a restaurant selection to choose from and certainly not any type of chain restaurant. However there is a McDonalds in the next town and we do go there fairly often. This is the only place my son can eat out. He can have both the fries (yeah for dedicated fryers!) and the beef patties (no bun!). As much as I’m sick of eating there, I am forever grateful to McDonalds for allowing my son the opportunity to feel like a “regular” kid and as well for making travelling a little bit easier for us. Ordering in is by far the easiest choice for us so occassionally we’ll order pizza or chinese food.
Left Coast Mama tagged me for the “Seven Things I Love About Me” Meme. This one is pretty tough but I’ll give it a go.
- I love my blue eyes (and the fact that all my kids have my eyes as well, sorry dear)
- I love the way I belt out songs to the Lord at church despite the fact that I can’t sing!
- I love that I lead a simple life.
- I love that I’m organized and have found a way to share that passion with others.
- I love that I’m never late for anything, although sometimes I try to be late just to rebel and I’m still always the first one there…it’s a curse!
- I love that I’m a freak and everyone knows it…totally takes the pressure off from having to try and, you know, act my age!
- I love how excited I get when I find me a good bargain (another bookcase at a garage sale yesterday for $2.00!)
It’s not often I think about the things I like about myself and I’m betting that is the same for most women. What a great exercise and probably something we should do more often. For that reason I’m tagging eight people on this one….Christine, Tegdirb92, Lucy, Debi, Kim, Jenn, Char, Susanne.
Finally, forever ago Marcia tagged me to show my daily planner. Problem is I don’t use a daily “take along” planner anymore now that I’m not working. In order to keep things as simple as possible for my hubbie and kids we only use one central calendar located in the kitchen. I never book things when I’m not at home.

Whew! All those and I still have the feeling that I may have forgotten a tag. If that’s the case, let me know. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Oh no…I do hope that flu bug has made a hasty retreat and you’re feeling better now!
Those were some fun memes. I really loved the 7 things you love about yourself one (until I saw you tagged me…lol). Your answers were so great! And I agree with you…I think it is something we should all do now and then.
great post.
i need to organize my life one day 🙂
Sorry to hear about the flu! Hope you’re feeling better.
Great job on the 7 things. I am glad that you got a chance to do something for yourself. I think some time for self reflection on our good qualities is something we definitely need to do more often.
The flu is never an easy thing to have. I hope you and your family are completely recovered.
What a great meme to be tagged for, we all need to show more love for ourselves 🙂 !! I will get it up in a few days and I will let you know! Thanks for that tag!
Rest up!
Thanks for the tag 🙂 It was really tough, but I did it!! Thanks 🙂
Have a great week.

Hi Laura
Thanks for showing your planner. I really love your BIG, easy-to-read calendar. Nice and simple!
Also loved your 7 things! This is an exercise that women definitely don’t do enough – when I do discover yourself coaching, one of the first things I ask is to tell me 10 things you love about yourself and do you know how long it takes them to come up with 10??? Just from the booking process (emails back and forth and payments) I can already add a couple so I often have to prompt and really facilitate!
Anyway, enough babbling on – this just touched a hot spot.
Thanks for the tag – I will try to get it done this week.
OOOHHH, this will be a tough one. I’m not one to toot my own horn. It’d be so much easier to list things I DON’T like about me. I’ll give it a go, though.
I love all your answers by the way. Wish I could just sorta “steal” them. :vD
