Middle Name Meme

Tuesday, August 21st, 2007

I saw this over at Skeet’s and thought it would be fun. I’m a glutton for punishment, though, since I’ve got a long middle name with a “z” in it.

Here we go.

The Rules:

1. You have to post these rules before you give the facts.

2. Players, you must list one fact that is somehow relevant to your life for each letter of your middle name. If you don’t have a middle name, use the middle name you would have liked to have had.

3. When you are tagged you need to write your own blog post containing your own middle name game facts.

4. At the end of your blog post, you need to choose one person for each letter of your middle name to tag. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

Did you guess my middle name? It’s Elizabeth, in case you didn’t.

E – My mom’s maiden name starts with E. Her middle name is also Elizabeth (as was her mother’s).

L – My last name starts with L.

I – Ice cream used to be one of my biggest binge foods.

Z – Zoos are not my favorite place to visit.

A – Aric is the name of my second born son.

B – Booze proved to be a problem for me, like most other addictive substances.

E – Eating is something I do 4x a time. No more, no less.

T – Tall – that’s me. I’m 5’11″.

H – Happy! I like to choose happiness over all the other negatives. It really is a choice.

I’m supposed to tag people now, but I’m too lazy for all of that. Play along if you want to!

Oracle of Starbucks

Monday, August 13th, 2007

I took this silly, yet amusing quiz for Starbucks drinkers the other day after a friend posted the URL on a forum I belong to, and the results just cracked me the heck up!

Here are my results:

Personality type: Freak

No person of sound mind would go to an EXPENSIVE COFFEE SHOP to get a drink WITHOUT CAFFEINE. Your hobbies include going to ski resorts in the summer and flushing $5 bills down the toilet. You are a menace to society.

Also drinks: Non-alcoholic beer
Can also be found at: Pools with no water

Hahaha! My drink order (for the curious) is: Decaf Grande Americano with a little non-fat steamed foam

What does your drink order at Starbucks say about you?

Colleen’s Sweet Ass

Monday, August 6th, 2007

Even though she is making blatant fun of me on her blog right now, I’m still a team player, and I want to do my part to promote the latest Internet frenzy. If you travel in my blog circles (and really, why wouldn’t you?), you’ve no doubt seen an abundance of sweet asses lately. However, none can compare to the sweet ass that Colleen has. I’m serious. Have you seen it? That’s one sweet ass. I wish mine looked like that!

Alas, I’ve got a big ole’ butt, no matter how skinny I get. Amy’s got back. See?

AricAmyGraceTramp

Now go on, and do your part, too. Let’s see that ass, baby – but only if you post a link to Colleen’s site with the term “sweet ass”. She sets the standard, after all.
