Catching up

I've been tagged for two memes that I woefully neglected to follow through on. Today's a busy day at work and I don't have much creativity left in me for a brilliant post, so I'm catching up...


Meme #1 - A Trip Down Blogging Memory Lane (tagged by Heather)

For this one, I really, really wish I hadn't completely freakin' deleted the COO-COO blog. There were some good ones in there.

Here are the rules:

You must post five links to posts you have written.

Post your five links and then tag five other people. At least two of the people you tag must be newer acquaintances so that you get to know each other better . . . and don’t forget to read the archive posts and leave comments!

Link 1 must be about family:
Happy Birthday Mom

Link 2 must be about friends:
With friends like these...

Link 3 must be about yourself, who you are, what you’re all about:

Kickin' it old school

Link 4 must be about something you love:
The love of a boy

Link 5 can be anything you choose:
Annoying questions and even more annoying answers

Tag you're it to:

• Kailani
• tegdirb92
• Mrs. Pear
• Brandi
• Carrie

Meme #2 - Blogging Tips (tagged by Judy)

START COPY

It’s very simple. When this is passed on to you, copy the whole thing, skim the list and put a * star beside those that you like. (Check out especially the * starred ones.)

Add the next number (1. 2. 3. 4. 5., etc.) and write your own blogging tip for other bloggers. Try to make your tip general.

After that, tag 10 other people. Link love some friends!

Just think- if 10 people start this, the 10 people pass it onto another 10 people, you have 100 links already!

11. Write positively even if the situation is seemingly negative -- spread joy and not gloom. You can do it!*- http://www.aliceteh.com/

12. When you find something that interests you, write about it. Sharing yourself with others is one of the best things about blogging.*- http://jhthomas.blogspot.com/

13. Start draft posts to capture ideas for future posts, so you don't lose track of them. http://charmingdelightful.blogspot.com/
