Do the Do-Re Meme

I found this “Do-re-meme” at Clio Bluestocking Tales who found it at New Kid on the Hallway:

1. My uncle played ball for the Texas Rangers many moons ago.

2. Never in my life have I been so happy as when my babies were born.

6. Once I met Pierre Elliot Trudeau.

7. There’s this boy I know who says he flies on a magic carpet.

9. By noon, I am sometimes up and about.

10. Last night I didn’t get any sleep at all.

40. And by the way, you’re all invited to do this and link here.  That means you Julie.

If you don’t have a blog, do this in the comments section please – I’d like to get to know you.  And if I already know you, I’m still interested in your answers.  This means you Rick.

  1. HA! HA! HA! HA! That took me by surprise. How did you know I was here? Well…Duh…I’m always here, so I guess that would make sense. Okay, I’ll do it!

    You have some great answers. Standing on the edge of the Scarborough bluffs sounds wild, especially for a little girl. And I LOVE telling people you and your friend were Desdemona and Ophelia. I think I’ll steal that one…hee hee.

  2. My mother still tells the story of watching me hang over the bluffs. She sneaked up behind me, grabbed me from the edge and chased me up the road home, spanking my butt every time she got near me. Couldn’t stop me though. I have a hankering for “the edges of things”.

    Can’t wait to see yours. Love getting to know you.

  3. I can just picture that. It must have terrified your mom. I know what you mean about edges. My whole life seems to be on the edge. Ha!

    I love getting to know you, too. I’ll be offline for a few days as of tomorrow to work on a project, but I’ll be back to read, read, read your site! Just wanted to say “see you in a few.” Take care.
