My dad sent this to me as an e-mail and I changed it a little for my blog.
Rules: IT'S HARDER THAN IT LOOKS! USE THE 1ST LETTER OF YOUR LAST NAME TO ANSWER EACH OF THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS. THEY HAVE TO BE REAL PLACES, NAMES, THINGS. NOTHING MADE UP! TRY TO USE DIFFERENT ANSWERS IF THE PERSON IN FRONT OF YOU HAD THE SAME 1ST INITIAL. YOU CAN'T USE YOUR NAME FOR THE BOY/GIRL NAME QUESTION. HAVE FUN!!
What letter does your last name start with? P
A 4 Letter Word: play
A Boy's name: Paul
A Girl's Name: Polly
An Occupation: photographer
A Color: purple
Something you wear: polo shirt or pants
A Beverage: purple cow (like orange julius with grape juice instead of oj)
A Food: plum
Something found in the bathroom: pee and poop
A place: Portland
A Reason for being late: (see something found in the bathroom)
Something you shout: oh pifle! (when my dad feels like cussing, he says this), also "Papa, Lambs, come!"
An animal: penguin
Does anyone want to play this game with me? Either put it on your blog or e-mail me or leave me a comment.

Book Meme
I really have not done very many memes and now I'm doing them two days in a row. Ram said I had to do this one since it involved books! Thanks Jane!
Book Confessions Meme
1. To mark your page you: use a bookmark, bend the page corner, leave the book open face down? I try to use bookmarks but one of the Lambs usually removes them. Sometimes I leave the book open face down until I can get a bookmark. I usually have to remember about what page I was on because the Lambs "help" me so much.
2. Do you lend your books? No-no friends here to lend them to. But I frequently will search for a book for a friend at Goodwill and send them a copy of a book that I like.
3. You find an interesting passage: you write in your book or NO WRITING IN BOOKS!
Yes, I write in books. Mostly I will get post it notes and write on there-I can move the post it note as I read and make notes to myself.
4. Dust jackets - leave it on or take it off? LEAVE THEM ON-THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE FOR! It drives me crazy that Ram removed some of his and threw them away before we were married. Plus you can't take books without dust jackets to Hyde Brothers if you want to trade it after you read it. When I worked at the library I frequently had to cut the information off of the dust jacket and tape it inside the book.
5. Hard cover, paperback, skip it and get the audio book?Ram wants hard cover. I don't care. Audio very rarely.
6. Do you shelve your books by subject, author, or size and color of the book spines?I have all of our huge library organized by Dewey with two exceptions. The kids have a bookshelf in their room that is not organized at all (other than on the shelf). The kids also have a box of books in the living room that they can choose to read from daily. I haven't got to organize Ram's theology books (all Dewey 200s) but I hope to have time to do that some day. We try to return books to their Dewey place when we are finished with them. I do have a pile by my chair in the living room that I am currently reading.
7. Buy it or borrow it from the library later? I am 7 miles from the library and with the Lambs so little I don't have much time to read. I own most of the books I am reading and just check out books from the library every once and awhile. I'm glad the library gives a month for me to try to complete the book before I have to renew it.
8. Do you put your name on your books - scribble your name in the cover, fancy bookplate, or stamp?Ram has a fancy bookplate. I only put a bookplate in it if I am going somewhere that I might lose the book. In this case, sometimes I put an address label inside the cover.
9. Most of the books you own are rare and out of print books or recent publications? We have a bit of everything. We probably have more older books than recent books in our collection.
10. Page edges - deckled or straight?Ram probably cares, but not me.
11. How many books do you read at one time?I usually have a big pile that I'm working on, but only actually read two at a time.
12. Be honest, ever tear a page from a book? No way, but rip up all my magazines.

ABC Meme
Wait--before you read this post, did you know STELLAN WENT HOME YESTERDAY?!!!!! Head over to MckMama's blog, and praise God with her! She even got to get home a little early thanks to a blog reader that was in air traffic control.
I refuse to do Facebook (that's another whole post), but I saw this meme on Esther's blog and thought it would be fun.
A - Age: 35
B - Bed size: Queen
C - Chore you hate: yardwork
D - Dog's name: never had a dog
E - Essential start your day item: I hate coffee, can't think of anything essential
F - Favorite color: green
G - Gold or Silver: gold
H - Height: 5'10"
I - Instruments you played: flute
J - Job title: Which job? Wife, Mama, end up being church secretary sometimes
K-Kids: Lamb 1 (5), Lamb 2 (almost 3), Lamb 3 (almost 13 months)
L - Living arrangements: 4 bedroom parsonage
M - Mom's name: Joan
N - Nicknames: Ram calls me Baby Doll
O - Overnight hospital stay other than birth: tonsils, morning sickness with Lamb 1
P - Pet Peeve: I can't stand the sound of filing fingernails.
Q - Quote from a movie: I'm too tired to think of any right now.
R - Right or left handed: Right
S - Siblings: Hannah
T - Time you wake up: if Ram gets up with the Lambs at 7 or 8am, then I get to sleep in until 9 or 10am. If he doesn't get up with them then I have to get up at 7 or 8am. Can you tell no one is in school yet?
U- Underwear: Yes, please. Used to be Victoria's Secret until they changed the way they make them. Not sure what kind to get next.
V - Vegetable you dislike: I like almost all vegetables, except I'm not too fond of raw carrots, but I eat them.
W - Ways you run late: After growing up in the city I'm always checking that the doors are locked, and that all the appliances are off, etc. Also, I don't plan ahead enough for 3 Lambs to get ready, especially now that two of them want to do everything themselves.
X - X-rays you've had: teeth, elbow, chest
Y - Yummy food you make: Ram usually cooks and I usually bake. That's a good deal. I love my homemade granola.
Z - Zoo Favorites: penguins
Fun, right? Consider yourself tagged. I'd love to see your results! Just let me know if you join in, so I can read it too!
