Mememememeeee
I’m really not as excited as that title sounds. In actuality, I’ve had a killer headache for the past several hours and normally I would save this for tomorrow but I’ve been planning on participating in Soccer Mom In Denial’s Music Monday for over a week now and I’m reserving Monday for the song I have been holding in my head.
While perusing the latest post at A2eatwrite I noticed I had been tagged for this meme:
1). Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages)
2). Open the book to page 123
3). Find the fifth sentence
4). Post the next three sentences
5). Tag five people
Alrighty, let’s see, I’m currently reading The Circus in Winter by Cathy Day and it happens to be sitting right here by my left hand…
“When they were babies, she’d slept in the nursery so that every few hours she could make sure they were still breathing. Wayne indulged her at first, but then insisted she stop. ‘You’ll make them nervous with your worry.’”
Okay and now to tag five more people, but the thing is, I tend to roam in a few blog circles that end up connecting to each other, so everyone will end up getting tagged with this meme a bunch of times. Therefore I’m tagging my readers without blogs (you can leave the meme in the comments section if you decide to take me up on this):
Mom
Dad (Enigma)
Judie
Fizz
Crooktooth (who does have a blog but never posts anymore…post something!)
And also I’d like to direct your eyes down my troublesome (but temporarily tweaked) sidebar to the sparklies section. Cablegirl at 42 gave me this award.
Now I’m supposed to pass it along to 10 other excellent bloggers so here goes (then I’m off to take an Aleve, honest):
Avery, Holly, Dapoppins, Novembrance, Thalia’s Child, Lotus, Dan, Deb, Missboroughs, and Cablegirl this excellent is for you!

Eventually the pain in his forehead substatially subsided. He went to his fishing gear in the garage. From his angler’s kit, he retrieved needle-nosed pliers with a wire-cutting edge. (I like the next 3 sentences!—-In the house again, after locking the back door,he went to the bathroom, where he examined his face in the mirror. The mask of blood had dried. He looked like an aboriginal resident of Hell.) –Velocity by Dean Koontz.
And the point of this meme is??????
your mom cracks me up.
anyway, COOL! THANKS SO MUCH! you rock!
i was going to do the meme in your comment, too, even though you only tagged non-bloggers, just for the heck of it. but belle’s given me her copy of pride and prejudice. i looked at one sentence on 123, whoa doggy. i’ll be here typing all night. looooooong sentences.
Congrats on your excellence award! And darn it we double tagged a couple of folks in passing it on, lol. Thanks for playing the meme and happy Sunday!
Mom-memes don’t usually have a point, they fill the gaping maw of empty space in the text editor of bloggers who haven’t got anything more worthwhile to post.
Holly-Thank you for sparing me the pain of having to reread ANY part of Pride and Prejudice. I’m a much greater fan of Crime and Punishment, y’know, whips and chains and all that stuff. And NICE one-upmanship! I’d do the same but I’d be afraid of burning my bits.
Jen-Thanks for the tag, it’s been a while since I had a meme to do and glad you enjoyed your Sunday as well.
I missed this one the first time around. Since you made my name all europian-ified. But now, I see it. Excellent.
Thank you. I hope that your new home is feeling more like home lately.
Admittedly, I haven’t read this book, (or any book all the way through in the last 4 years? and children’s books don’t count) but it IS the closest book handy: “Fingersmith” bye Sarah Waters.
“I thought of what I would do, if a man like Gentleman liked me. I thought perhaps I ought to take her aside and tell her, as one girl to another. Then I thought she might think me rude. –Which is pretty rum, in light of what happened later.”
Okay okay.. that is 4 sentences.. but I couldn’t leave off that last one, since it finished up that “paragraph” hahah
