I was tagged by the lovely, Teeni at Vaguetarian Tea Room to do this meme. Seeing as I’m never one to pass up a meme I’m running with it. Plus, I have nothing…nada, nill, zilch to write about this week so, here we go…
The rules are simple – just complete each of the following snippets. I’m not tagging anyone so if you wish to play along please feel free to do so. I’m being nice, just like Teeni, and including the blank meme at the end of this post so you can easily copy and paste.
I am: sitting on my deck enjoying a latte (’cause I just purchased my very own espresso machine – ha!)
I think: waaaaay too much.
I know: how to knit and crochet. (stop it! don’t laugh)
I have: to clean my house but I don’t want to.
I wish: I could trust more and worry less.
I hate: that if you buy an older box of hair color (because a particular store doesn’t care to pull old products from it’s shelves) your hair will turn out black (black as midnight, black as pitch, blacker than the foulest witch) no matter what color is depicted on the package. **10 points to whoever guesses the movie quote!**
I miss: sharing my life with a significant other.
I fear: that the cancer will come back.
I hear: a fan, and a dog snoring.
I smell: rosemary/lavender lotion.
I crave: a vacation in some remote location and Joseph Schmidt truffles (in that particular order)
I search: using Google every day.
I wonder: what he’s doing tonight.
I regret: some things; not many, and am trying to get over them and eventually will.
I love: my family, my Dead Charming, my dogs.
I ache: all over since I just got finished sanding, priming and painting a garage.
I am not: going to make the same mistake twice or thrice, or however many times I’ve made it.
I believe: in love.
I dance: in my living room with my daughter whilst listening to Hannah Montana (shhhh! don’t tell anyone!)
I sing: as loud and obnoxiously as I can to embarrass my daughter.
I cry: at movies, at commercials (especially if it involves animals), when I’m upset, when I’m worried, when I’m mad…pretty much all the time.
I fight: the urge to eat the entire 1/2 gallon of ice cream.
I win: at thumb wrestling (’cause I’ve got big, powerful thumbs)
I lose: my patience far too often.
I never: paint my finger nails.
I always: paint my toe nails.
I confuse: my dogs names sometimes…Ridley does sound like Bailey, right?
I listen: but sometimes it goes in one ear and out the other.
I can usually be found: sitting on my deck with my laptop.
I am scared: that my love and I will never be able to be together.
I need: a massage, and a snuggle with my love.
I am happy about: being in love.
I imagine: living happily ever after.
I tag: no one…

It’s too bad that there is no Olympic event for thumb wrestling.
Whaaat? You mean there is no Olympic thumb wrestling event. Dammit. I’ve been practicing and was going to go to trials.
Oh, I am so jealous of your espresso machine – what brand did you get – is it easy to use? I was so hooked on those little espressos after my vacation in the Azores that I almost went and bought a machine. I may still but need to justify the cost somehow as TGH does not drink the stuff.
You knit and crochet? YAY! I mostly crochet – can knit but not great at it.
Did you have cancer, 2LD? I didn’t know. I’d like to know your story, if you are willing to share.
This is a great meme. And a great read. Thanks so much for participating! 🙂
Thanks for tagging me, Teeni! It was a fun meme.
I’ll fire off an email to you (if you don’t mind) with the details of the espresso machine and my stint with cancer. Don’t want to write a lengthy explanation here. 🙂
yep . . i gnaw on the finger nails, but always keep the toe nails loooking purty.
i pray that the cancer doesnt come back.
i crochet too . . so relaxing.
great list, 2LD . .
Hey Red,
Yep…gotta keep those toes purty.
Thanks…I’m hoping it doesn’t either.
I need to crochet & knit more…I tend to save it for the colder months when I can’t be outside.
Legend :p
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!!! You got it!
i like your answers. i think it’s cool that you knit and crochet. My mom used to crochet gorgeous blankets for people before arthritis. She made good money with them.
i wasn’t aware you kicked cancer’s ass. That is awesome!
Hi c,
I used to make crocheted & knitted blankets/scarfs for everyone. I think I’ve run out of people to give them to! When my daughter was a baby I loved to make her cutesy little hand-made sweaters. Now she’s too picky and won’t wear what I make.
Yes…so far I’ve kicked it’s ass. Thanks!
I’m thinking happy thoughts. Care to join me? 😉
Yes, Mr. P., yes I do care to join you. Thanks!
I love Peter’s comment. He always leaves the best comments.
I crochet and knit too but I haven’t done it in a few years. I really hope you and your love will be together. I used to dance with my daughter but it was to “New Kids On The Block”.
The quote is from “Legend”, one of my daughter’s favorites that we probably watched 100 times. She and I both love those Fantasy type movies and Sci Fi movies.
Hi Joan,
Yes, Mr. P.’s comments are always the bomb.
I do love to crochet and knit and I should do it more often…just seems that I tend to put it all away in the summer.
Hahahha…New Kids on the Block! That’s great!
You got it! It was Legend. I loooove that movie, too. I do believe I have watched it a gazillion times.
I love watching dogs sleep and snore. especially when they dream and bark. Makes you wonder what they are dreaming about?
Yes. Mine always do this running in their sleep sorta thing – their legs flail and twitch. I always assume they’re chasing squirrels in their dreams.
Pretty hard to get movie trivia past me…especially when Tim Curry’s “Darkness” is such a memorable character, although he is totally unrecognizable in the role….
Ah yes, that’s right…movie trivia buff. Tim Curry is most excellent in that role.
Oh, 2LD, Joseph Schmidt truffles ! They’re the best, aren’t they? OMG!! I *twinkle* thinking about them!! 😉
You must be exhausted after all that painting! How did the garage turn out?
Heck you deserve to eat the whole half gallon of ice cream. girl! Go for it!!! I just thought about my favorite ice cream ( Ben & Jerry’s Coffee Heath Bar Crunch) with Joseph Schmidt truffles on top!!! AAAAAAGGHHH!!! I NEED THAT!
Hey Trisha!
Yes, JS truffles are ooooo so yummy! I used to get them at Parkleigh in Rachacha every other weekend. I miss them so.
The garage is finished. Yay! And I’m all rested now…thanks for asking.
I’ve never tried the Coffee Heath Bar Crunch. Holy hell, it sounds scrumpdillyishious. Now I’ll have to be on the lookout for it!
Oh hunny I pray that the cancer dont come back either! thats no fun…….and its tough to deal with.
I am still not doing all that well 😦 Its been a real hard 6 months for me and i am at a high risk to have it come back and they say with the kind of cancer i have its harder the second time you go through it! Oh how I wish I could talk to someone that has been through it before alright i am done venting here LOl!
Thanks, Kaylee. It isn’t any fun and I’m determined to stave it off!
I wish you were feeling better. I know it’s been a long, hard road for you but you have such amazing strength and a great outlook. I know you will be fine! Maybe you could find a support group on the Internet…there has to be some type of group out there in your age bracket that have had the same experience.
Hello there sweetness. Wow, this meme renders alot of emotional information.. but just in little snippets which leaves us chomping at the bit…
I enjoyed reading your answers. I think it’s funny you call your dogs the wrong name “…Ridley does sound like Bailey, right?” ABSOLUTELY!
I call my kids and husband by the wrong name daily, it’s so frustrating!
I pray you will never had to go up against that bitch cancer either; yeah, just let her try to come back, I’ll kick her into another year! She wouldn’t dare! *I get pissy at cancer*
I’m glad you are in love and I hope there is a way for the two of you to be together.
This post made me fuzzy!
Hi JQ,
Gosh, I didn’t realize I was offering up so much emotional info…sorry, didn’t mean to tease you!
I guess it wouldn’t be so bad if I mixed the dogs names up by calling Gus Ridley’s name and vice versa…but nooo…I have to call Ridley by my deceased female dog’s name -Bailey.
I’m glad I’m in love too….just wish I could be with him. 😦
Awww…I’m glad it made you fuzzy…just like your video made me all fuzzy! I’m still waiting for you to read me that bedtime story, missy!!! heehee
Hi 2,
What the heck, I’ll play.
I am: me.
I think: far too much for my own good.
I know: far too much for my own good, and enough to scare the crap out of Homeland Security if they found out.
I have: a lottery ticket.
I wish: said lottery ticket is going to be the only winner.
I hate: stupidity. Oh, and miscalculating how much I’m going to smoke and drink, so I don’t purchase enough supplies and have to make an extra trip to town. Of course, that, I suppose could fall under my previous listing, although I don’t want to admit it.
I miss: my Mother.
I fear: fear.
I hear: everything. Really, my hearing is much more keen than my other senses.
I smell: pretty rank. I’ve been working outside off and on today and haven’t taken time off to shower yet. Fortunately, I’m alone with the dogs for now, and they don’t seem to mind.
I crave: constantly.
I search: here and there and everywhere. I’m not sure for what, but I’m pretty sure I’ll know it when I stumble across it.
I wonder: why, after exposure to radiation, several serious electric shocks, serious chemical burns, and bites from various insects, I have yet to develop a super power?
I regret: almost everything, yet, in another way, almost nothing, so let’s leave it at not having any noticeable musical ability.
I love: deeply.
I ache: mostly in my back.
I am not: yes I am!
I believe: not without evidence.
I dance: very badly.
I sing: only in private.
I cry: when necessary.
I fight when necessary.
I win: when necessary.
I lose: when necessary.
I never: well, yes, I probably did.
I always: try to be unpredictable.
I confuse: most everyone.
I listen: well.
I can usually be found: only if you’re a really good hunter.
I am scared: mostly of myself.
I need: another drink.
I am happy about: getting another drink.
I imagine: things you probably would be better off not knowing about.
I tag: Sorry, after that unfortunate, and fatal, tag incident back in grade school, I avoid the game.
My but that was refreshing! Thanks!
the Grit
Hey Grit,
Thanks for playing!
Yeah, I wondering why you haven’t developed a super power. And by the way…you stink! Go take a shower. Heh.
[…] One step up from a comment Posted by Dead Charming under Uncategorized My love over at 2LazyDogs posted a meme that was so full of things that I wanted to reply to, I gave up trying to write a […]
I spent about two hours trying to come up with an appropriate reply, but ultimately I gave up and just answered the same meme.
Let me just say that I love you, and I’m afraid of losing you to time/circumstances/fate…
You are far and away the best thing to have come into my life in a long LONG time.
I love you.
You know that all of your replies are appropriate…but I do appreciate you taking the time to answer the entire meme. It made me cry, as most things you write do these days. This is such an emotionally charged time for both of us and it is sometimes hard to see past all of the hurdles we’re up against. Please know that I love you and am so very glad that you are in my life. You are, by far, the best thing that has come into my life – ever.
I love you.
I love that you tag no one.
Lord knows you have friends.
Interesting;
Cancer?
I pray for you every day. Truth.
Dancing with your daughter?
Good God, it doesn’t get any better than that.
Do more of it. I wish mine were around more these days.
I loved this meme, I probably won’t do it but I loved it.
Thanks for sharing it.
Be safe, be well
~m
Thank you, thank you, and thank you, m.
Wait do you still have the cancer? And thats a good idea!
Hey Kaylee,
No, been cancer free for the last 4 years. The type I had has a very high recurrence rate within 5 yrs. So, once I make it to the five year mark the chances that it will come back will diminish.

Dude, peep this, I totally just stumbled across Dead Charming through Veggie Macabre by complete coincidence. I am SO! RIDICULOUSLY! HAPPY for you guys, cause love is awesome and the internet is a fab way to go about it 😉
Yeah-ya. He’s ridiculously charming, is he not? I’m just hoping we can be as sinfully cute as you and Josh are together. But dammit, it’s getting harder and harder not being able to see him in person. How do you do it? Must chat with you and take some notes.
