THE MAGIC 8
We’ve been tagged by the lovely and talented Angell from Angell’z Secretz to give eight pieces of trivia about myself.
First, The Rules:
We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.
- Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
- People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
- At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
- Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.
- We lie in bed on Sunday mornings watching SportsCenter, Outside The Lines & The Sports Reporters.
- We wake at 7:05 AM every morning. At one point recently we had our own private wake-up service. It was wonderful.
- There is a TV on always..even when music is playing (yes, we mute the TV sound).
- Can not help but tear up if Extreme Home Makeover is on. Just gets to me every time. (Go on giggle...we will wait....done? OK, let's move on...)
- We have not been in a movie theater in over 5 years. Sad, we know.
- We have never read Moby Dick. Sad, we know.
- We hate those Geico "Caveman commercials" and now they are even making a comedy series about them!
- There is someone who makes me smile.
At this point (8:11 PM) lifelogger.com (Where we store our music)
is down for maintenance. Maybe no music....
10:50...lifelogger.com back in business and so are we...

OK first order of business - that's a boatload of credits on I Can Stand A Little Rain! Yeesh!
The cavemen are getting a tv show? I would have thought the gecko would get one first. Hmmm.
Three memes is a bit much. I got hit with two and that was almost more than I could handle.
Well, I hope there's more than one person that makes you smile. Everyone should have at least one, though - glad you have yours...
Nice to see you - love the photo cutting and pasting from a couple of days ago.
Hope the gig was good - and I'll come back soon - much catching up to do!
Y'know, I could have really done without that picture of Gino Vannelli. Cheers!!
TRAVIS: Yes, a ton of musicians on that album....I could have spread them out over a couple of days, but since it was the weekend....
SONGBIRD: ty
TOPCHAMP: Welcome back...
MATT-MAN: That was for the women not you silly.
Oh Vinny....i've got 'em too! Count 'em...FIVE! yup 5 memes for me to do. But they are kinda fun so I don't mind being tagged and if I don't do them right...oh well-just try and take my blog away!
What are hukapoo shirts, Vinny?
LMOO the scarves! Woo!!
Your OWN private wake up service that was wonderful? And why did my thoughts go to the gutter?
Oh...and thanks for some JC this Monday morn.
JULIE; FIVE??? WOAH....
Huckapoo were 70's cool shirts made of nylon...one little spark and they would melt to your skin I think! Go see THESE
The scarves...hehehe
Yes, and no nothing in the gutter, just a warm wonderful voice calling to talk each morning as I woke....sigh
Thanks Julie, I had no idea what huckapoo shorts were either. Hey, Tupac is the man, or was at least pretty talented, so maybe you get some of your creative from sharing a birthday.
I too do the OTL and Sport Reporters hour if I am awake. if not Tivo gets it.
Tearing up at Extreme Makeover... you big ole softie you!
Huckapoo shirts.. ugh! Even the name makes you think of a gastrointestinal ailment.
Um... "voting" eh?
Great job, I may have learned some things...
SMOOCH
SPARKY: Shorts? No shirts...lol...Unfortunately, I am normally awake now when they come on....
ANNDI: as big a softie as you are dear...
Yes, the shirts could certainly cause that- LOL
yes, they voted....
TY...glad even someone who knows me so well could learn something...
SMOOCH
three memes? oh noooo. sometimes i ignore them, i will admit!
and bond honey? there was no cake, no chocolate, and no cruise ships in here today. think you can do something tomorrow?
smiles, bee
I love it when you talk to yourself. It cracks me up.
I am with you on Extreme Makeover. I get all weepey too. Thanks for playing the MeMe game =)
Silk scarves? Kinky! I just use plain old handcuffs myself, but I am an old fashion girl ;)
Eww thanks for the link on the shirts...now I need to puke in a reminiscent fashion! They were so nasty but everyone had them! I even had a couple!
You've put me in the meme mood. I'm going to steal one of these from you, steal the one Bud did today and find another. (maybe I'll steal another one from you.)
At least I told you before I committed this cyber-crime......
ooooh.... I actually like geting tagged for memes so I'll get right on it :-)
wait... I already did that one... I'm a dumbass... ha ha ha!
BEE: Don't you see the cake over there? --->
MAGS: I am cracked up which is why i talk to myself...i just decided to let you listen in occasionally
STARRLIGHT: Happy..i got them both in for you dear...Ah but the silk scarves can be used for so many different things....
JULIE: LOL you asked dear
MIMI: Oh Queen..anything that pleases you pleases your humble servant....
I love silk scarves! They just feel so nice on the skin...um, what did I come in here to say? Oh wait, now I remember! Thanks for linking to the puppy, and, yes, you have to lose your sanity to hang with me! Fortunately, Bond, you talk to yourself so I think that qualifies! :P
3 MEMEs? You did 3 MEMEs in one post?
Oh holy... you are so brave, my friend!
I´m sure you are exhausted right now
"...all y'all can tag all ya want." sounds a bit like "Bite me!" *LOL*
However, you did a great job - and I will ignore the tag me somewheres. I´ve done the Birthday MEME (3events, 2births, 1 death), the Magic 8 twice (I guess, in addition some Random 7, plus some blah-blah 5s, etc) - but the 5 slot thingy? Not yet. Sssshhhhh... please don´t tell!
Sending in some Espresso / Sambuca and Popcorn, lots of love, off to
"Walk This Way" =)
MERI: Qualifies? Oh yeah well... ummmm yeah, I guess it does....
SANNI: Well, I did have the weekend but don't tell anyone else...hehe umm it wasn't meant as "bite me" promise....
I will not tell a soul and yummy on the gifts... wooooooooooo
schoolgirl sweetie with a classy kinda sassy
little skirt's climbin' way up the knee
there was three young ladies in the school gym locker
when I noticed they was lookin' at me =]
108: Ummm LOL ok, well then young lady DO IT AGAIN! hehehehe
LOVE Joe Cocker!! Not a caveman fan...
Speedos? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH
sorry. had to.
Extreme Home Makeover? I bawl like a baby. Seriously, I get that.
