A Mindless Meme to Pass the Time

Readers: Here's an interesting twist on the age-old meme. It's a ready made list of things you just copy into your post. Highlight/bold those things you've actually done. I seriously stole this from Zeek's site! Zeek writes The Way I See It and is a fairly new visitor to my blog. Thanks for the post idea tonight! I hereby tag the following to do the same (if you so desire)..  Annelisa, Maryam, Lizza, Bond
(I've also been tagged by Dr. Anonymous to do a musical meme. Will finish tomorrow and tag-and re-tag others.)
