A meme? Why not
I try not to do many memes when I am blogging, but maybe one or two a week won’t kill me. And it keeps me in the habit of sitting down, opening my blog dashboard, and posting (even if it is totally inane and meaningless!) Besides…sometimes memes are just darn fun! I snagged this one from cheleblog.
Omnivore’s 100 Meme
Instructions:
1) Copy this list into your blog or journal, including these instructions.
2) Bold all the items you’ve eaten.
3) Cross out any items that you would never consider eating, or will never eat again.
4) italicize ones you haven’t eaten but WANT TO TRY
5) Leave the ones you haven’t tried, but are indifferent about
(Of course for me, there is a #6 instruction which says “Make notes on the ones you feel cannot be on your blog without some form of commentary!”)
