It's A Conspiracy!

Well, well, well.

Once upon a time (sound familiar?) there was a Catlady Larew who conspired with an idifficult blogger and they both bestowed upon the Queen of Quirky the Best Follower Award!

Now what really cracks me up is how we hear all the time about how bloggers hate memes for this reason or for that reason.

Blah, blah, BLOG!

I happen to like memes. I rarely follow the rules, but I enjoy doing them.

So despite being an ardent admirer and championess of memes, even I was SHOCKED at the rules of this meme.

You have to answer forty-two flippin' questions!

Whoa.

And actually I read at idifficult's blog that you're supposed to add a question? And he did just that! So that leaves me with forty-three flippin' questions to answer.

Yeesh.

Anyhoo, the award is purdy. Here it be.



And now?

I dig in!

1. What is your current obsession? Zombies, blogging, Diet Dr. Pepper, motorcycles, lemoncello cake, singing rock opera style in public and private, jalapenos, rubbing my eyebrow raw, and generally making a fool out of myself in public.

2. What are you wearing today? Black capri sweats, with a black knit top and a green shirt over the top. I love layering! And this is the only month of the year I can do it in hot and sunny Arizona!

3. What’s for dinner? I actually did cook dinner tonight. My husband's jaw hit the floor. He was like, "What no grilled cheese sandwiches? No quesadillas? No scrambled eggs? No Ramen?" Ahem. I made fried chicken and a green salad (to unclog the arteries from the fried chicken).

4. What’s the last thing you bought? A twelve-pack of Cherry Diet Dr. Pepper. Mmm.

5. What are you listening to right now? Toadies Possum Kingdom. I think there's some implied nasties in the lyrics. But I'm not sure, so I keep listening to it to... make sure... yeah... that's the ticket!

6. What do you think about the person who tagged you? Catlady is the Da Bomb Diggity! idifficult is a humorous enigma.

14. Give us 3 styling tips that work for you. Rub your eyebrow hair away instead of tweezing, stay away from black lipstick, and if you can't find your fake boob? A bunched up tank top does the trick!

B.S. No Blog Awards or Memes were harmed during the production of this post. My mind is a mess now from all this proactive thinking to answer all these questions, but that's normal. However, I confess that I prefer autopilot thinking.
