Christmas Meme

OK, so Thanksgiving's over - it's officially Christmas season. It's also the last day of NaBloPoMo (YAY I made it!) so what better way to end it than with a Christmas Meme? I found this one at Michael Mahler's Ditherings while Blog-hopping.

You know the drill - if you want to answer the meme let me know in my Comments.

What Makes You Smile?

Me...and my meme...strolling down the avenue...

Yes, I found another meme! This one is from Dixie's blog, here is how she explained it:

Some of my favorite things. Things I think about when I need a smile.

I'm listing 10, you can list as many as you like. If you want to share your list, let me know in my Comments section.

• Ladybugs
• Rainbows
• Full Moon
• Beny More songs
• Dragonflies (they remind me of fairies)
• Corndogs
• The Miami International Book Fair
• Cuban Coffee
• Little Kids Being Cute
• New Book Smell

Smile...:)

Yes, another Meme - 7 Random Things

I got this from Robin. I think I've posted a similar meme before, bit since it's random stuff, it's unlikely the same seven random things will come up again.

Official Rules:
Link to your tagger and list the rules
List 7 random facts about yourself
Tag 7 people
If you’re tagged, play along and pass it on!

My Rule:
I'm not tagging anyone, if you want to use this on your Blog, let me know in my Comments.

1. I need to get my bangs cut - I look like the Shaggy Dog (that was a movie right?)
2. I'm at *my* personal happiest place on earth - the Miami International Book Fair today! I'll post about today (Saturday) on Sunday and about tomorrow (Sunday) on Monday. Well, at least that's the plan.
3. I'm not going to continue watching "Dancing With the Stars" for the rest of the season - it's boring this year.
4. I'm fascinated by the whole Obama picking his Cabinet thing
5. I'm having a bad week of sugar readings...
6. I am way too amused by the "throwing under the bus" of Sarah Palin by the whining loser McCain campaign people. It's wrong, I know, I'm a bad person.
7. I like Rachel Maddow way more than I like Keith Olbermann.

OK, your turn.

Where Do You Want To Live Meme

Yep - another meme already! Don't judge me people! I got this one from Dixie.

Here are the instructions, copied from Dixie who copied them from another Blog...

"McCain has 8 homes in the U.S I thought it was 13 but whatevs. You have to pick eight places you would like to live. List them. You don’t have to list your reasons, but if you do at least for a few of them, it would be more fun. And remember that the only rule is: the homes must be within the borders of the United States of America or else, within the borders of the country you live in, so as to utterly emulate the McCains."

I'll add the usual, let me know in my Comments if you're participating...

This is really hard, because even though there are plenty of places I'd like to visit, there aren't that many places where I'd like to live.

1. Miami - because regardless of all the negative press, it's my hometown and I love it. I love the craziness, the food, the music. Seriously, there's never a dull moment here. Easy drive to Key West and the Everglades.
2. New York City - because it's New York City! Museums, restaurants, theater, universities, ballet, the New York Times, the New York Public Library, Little Italy, The Village...
3. San Francisco - I think it's the most romantic city in the US. Absolutely beautiful architecture and views, great restaurants, great public transportation, driving distance to wine country.
4. Philadelphia - My in-laws are there and they're great, it's a great city with lots to do, Philly Cheese Steaks, fantastic art museum
5. Washington D.C. - Another phenomenal, cosmopolitan city, I'm a political junkie, museums, diversity...
6. New Orleans - I think this is the most sensual city in the U.S. Music, food, booze, food, ambiance, music, food, architecture, music, cemeteries, food, the Mississippi River
7. Seattle - Gorgeous views, a ferry ride away from Bainbridge Island which is gorgeous, progressive, clean, great coffee, easy drive to Oregon, easy drive to Vancouver...
8. Minneapolis - Loved it! Another beautiful city, the Mary Tyler Moore statue, funky little cafes and bars, another great museum...

OK, now you...
