Another easy post for me, courtesy of Wyatt.

Here are the rules if you decide to play along:

1) Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog.
2) Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3) Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
4) Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

Okay! Here you go- the boozehound edition of this seven facts meme:

1. I’m a lightweight. No, I don’t just mean that I weigh 115 pounds (hey, that’s downright chubby compared to my pre-Army, two-kids-ago weight). What I mean is, I just can’t drink much anymore. I am drunk right now. Seriously. It’s 11 pm and I have had 3 beers and half a Bloody Mary- and I am toast.

2. I’ve never been so drunk that I puked. That won’t be changing tonight.

3. I wasn’t a lightweight before I joined the Army either. I once had eleven malt beverages at the bar while out with my good buddy L. She’s about six feet tall and curvy, so she kept getting free ones from a bouncer who had a bit of a crush on her- and she just handed ‘em over to me. I didn’t puke, pass out, or even get a hangover.

4. I have never “blacked” out (as in just keel over) but I have been so drunk that I fell asleep despite intense persuasion to the contrary. But so did he, so oh well. And I do mean my lovely lovely lazybones, of course.

5. My worst hangovers have been from drinking Bloody Marys. Including one memorable time when I had to deal with my snarky grandmother the following morning. She’s a chore for the sober, believe me.

6. I have to pee. Now.

7. I am sure I will feel rather silly for posting this tomorrow.

As for tagging, I am too drunk to remember seven names. So tag yourself if you want to.

XOXOX,
S.

No, not more pictures of me without makeup- I got tagged with this meme by Wyatt, who has a green tea mug. *snicker*

For this one you must:
Post an image of your favorite drinking vessel.
Tag some other saps to do the same.

I love this mug because I got it at the first Starbucks I saw after leaving Iraq- which was in Kuwait. I took it as a sure sign that I was on my way back to my favorite lifestyle of all- being an overcaffeinated consumer. Also because Starbucks discontinued their “City Mugs” shortly thereafter. Lazybones used this mug the other day and nearly got beaten up for it. It’s one of those irreplaceable things that he has a tendency to break (like he did to one of the tumblers from our first MP Ball).

This is really my mom’s mug. She bought it while visiting me in Tennessee, while I was preggers with Ringo. She would often encourage the little beast to “kick mommy” and took great amusement from my lamenting that the child would surely be a football-headed homicidal maniac. I was horrified when she got the mug. So she left it there for me when she went home, and now it’s my favorite!

As for the tagging, I got nothin’.

Wyatt did a meme and didn’t tag anyone. That means it’s up for grabs, and I am all about recycling and borrowing blog posts lately. This one’s the six-word memoir; we’ll see how many dirty words I can squeeze in (ha ha). I have no illustration for this one, but any of you who have seen the photo of me covered in mud can just imagine that, or use the photo below as a guide.

It’s all about freedom and love.

So, you wanna play?
1. Write your own six word memoir.
2. Post it on your blog and include a visual illustration if you want.
3. Link to the person that tagged you in your post and to the original post if possible so we can track it as it travels across the blogosphere.
4. Tag at least five more blogs with links.
5. Leave a comment on the tagged blogs with an invitation to play.

Of course, as my completion of this meme was the direct result of a violation of these rules, I am going to continue the proud tradition and not tag anybody specific either. Just nab it if you want.

Four jobs I have had in my life:

Four friends I think will respond:

Ah, well, this is a borrowed meme, so anyone who wants it is welcome to it!!! Besides, do I even have four friends?

Four things I am looking forward to in the coming year:

Having my oldest come stay with us for the summer (or longer!)
Possibly visiting the U.K.
