You Should Do This

Ooooooh. Aaaaah.
I say every. single. one. of the things in the “things I say often” category. And the last four made me crack up.
Also? Cracker Barrel? Oh, yum. Love their hashbrown casserole. And their BLT salad. And the little game they have at the table.
You are the coolest Meme responder ever! The YouTube links? Totally fabulous. Especially Mr.Big - sometimes I really miss hair bands. You rock and rule and whatever other verbs the kids are using.
I’m still giggling at the things you learned last year.
The Times Square thing is overrated.
Also… wait… MAKING Buckeyes? Not EATING them? Oh, those are the best things ever!
Ahhh, Mr. Big. That’s one of those gems you kind of forget about for a while and then stumble upon it later (possibly mentioned in a superb blog post) and it’s like a treasure… like finding the $20 you left in your winter coat from last year.
Sooooo true about the bigger house. When you have small children - -you’re better of inan apartment.
I’m completely with you on “#1″ that you learned last year… I mean #2.
I LOVE that Mr. Big song too and can even sing all the words. I think I will do that right now.
[…] Veronica, one of my newest blogging pals, has tagged me for a meme. The Crazy 8 Meme! Yeah, yeah, yeah. I did it before. But this time, I’m doing it with a twist! It’s the The Crazy 8 Meme - High School Version. Specifically, my senior year of high school. […]
[…] Who to tag? Patios, Zena, BusyMom (now you’re not the worst) Jenny, Painted Maypole, Slouching Mom and my fun single girl-friend Garnet have already been tagged. Leslie did the 8 meme, which I am staying far away from. So, who can I tag? For sure, Amy, Janey, Louann and Mountain Mama. Bookmark to: Hide Sites […]
