Tim tagged me awhile back for a meme and I’ve been kind of ignoring him postponing my participation because I really didn’t think I had much on this blog that fit. But then I saw that somebody named Mark Larson linked to me. I don’t know who Mark Larson is, so I clicked over. Apparently, Mark Larson is part of the meme police, pointing fingers and waving madly at those of us who haven’t yet completed the memes to which we’ve been assigned. Okay, okay. I’ll see what I can do. I most definitely don’t want to land on the wrong side of the meme police. (Mark, I jest)

Here are the rules:

Go back through your archives and post the links to your five favorite blog posts that you’ve written. But there is a catch:
Link 1 must be about family.
Link 2 must be about friends.
Link 3 must be about yourself, who you are… what you’re all about.
Link 4 must be about something you love.
Link 5 can be about anything you choose.

Post your five links and then tag five other people.

1. On Moving to Hawaii - because this pretty much started it all and it’s a good glimpse into how wacky my family can really be.

2. Team Building on the Beach - because this was so much fun to watch.

3. Silent Judgment — because this is me being honest and coming to grips with the fact that I don’t need to conform.

4. An Utterly Odd Post about Dishwashing — because while there are tons of other things here that I love, this one is not trite and has improved my life in the kitchen. And because I figure this is as good a time as any to find out if any of you have converted.

5. Queen of Hearts — because my mom’s still asking about the prom.

If you’re so inclined, consider yourself tagged. But I’m not naming names. I don’t want to get anyone else in trouble with Mark.
