Super Memorial Day Meme 2008

Have you ever heard of a “meme”? If not, you’re likely not alone, and if you
have, well then you know the fun these can be to read. It’s the internet’s
version of helping readers to get to know a little more about the person who was
“memed”, and this time around, thanks to Mariana Wagner of Colorado Springs Real
Estate and Laurie Manny of
Long Beach Real Estate, I was ‘memed’. Dare I say ‘thank you
Mariana’and Laurie?!? 
There
are two me-s in meme because it’s all about me. Meme’s are the perfect way to
let other bloggers know about you, let your audience know about you and get to
know and relate to other bloggers, expand your network and watch your sphere of
influence expand outwards. If you ever posed the question to yourself, “how many
degrees are between me and Kevin Bacon?” this is the way to find out.
I am asking 8 questions because when tipped over the number 8 is the
infinity symbol and that is totally geeky and 8 is my favorite number and it is
2008. Oh, how the stars have aligned!
OK – here are the eight questions, along with my answers:
1) Who is your favorite musical artist? (post a youtube
video)
Gosh, I have a wide and varied taste in music! I love Island and Reggae
music, classical music is very soothing to me, I love the oldies – 60′ and 70’s,
I love the music the Celtic Woman sing. I like Celine Dion, UB40, Cat
Stevens, The Who, oh I could go on and on….but I won’t!
This is a video of the Celtic Woman, and one of my favorite songs they do -
“Sail Away”. They have the most exquisite voices – I could listen to them for
hours.
Wow… you know I didn’t know the Man in the Mountain slid off? Hmm… I can’t believe that- great piece of trivia!
Thanks for playing along with this.
There you are!!! Now THAT’s what I’m talking about! a little
inside info on Ann herself (and here I was giving Moni a hard time
about you guys not doing your memes). It’s like homework for the
blogosphere.
I am truly honored that you would consider me one of your favorite
bloggers btw – thank you, thank you! but I think there’s plenty of
better ones out there.
(and Kinkade doesn’t surprise me at all)
Sail Away … Awesome music choice . I love Celtic Women. SO COOL to know more about you, my friend!
Ann, what a great meme! I saw a PBS concert of Celtic Women
and fell in love with them. I am hoping that they’ll come to
Pasadena one day for a concert. Maybe, you can come out and visit
then and we’ll see it together? Would be majorly cool!
Hey Ann, I imagine that if we were women in your area a couple of
hundred years ago, they would have burned us all at the stake as
witches, lol… I have to believe the independant streak was
there in other lives as well. No time like the present for
sure. Loved the Celtic music, thanks.
Ann,
I agree, this was interesting. I already knew about the Old Man
sliding away, and no, not my dad. But I didn’t know about the
coast of New Hampshire only being 17 miles and the smallest coastline
in America. I guess that would be cool if I was a jogger, who
could jog 17 1/2 miles.
Overall, thanks for sharing this and for tagging me. As you already
know, I was tagged earlier. And it’s funny, you were one of the 8 that
I was going to tag, but I figured that you were already tagged, even
though this just started a few days ago. Knowing that you hang out with
these other prolific bloggers, hence why I tried finding someone else.
Just as I knew not to pick Ines or Brian Brady. But thanks for the
mention.

Ann – Wow – loved learning more about you and must say Miamism is
one of my favorites too! Ugh – Homework – I’m working on it – thanks
for thinking of me girl!!
I love that this thing has started up again and it’s so cool to take
a deeper gander into the person that is Ann Cummings! Enjoy your
week and I’m liking that Kinkade guy, I knew the name rang a bell
somewhere.
Ann – You are so educated on the arts – I am impressed. It is nice
to get to know a little more about you. Kinkade is one of my favorite
painters too.
Ann – I really like your Meme! I love the Celtic women..they don’t
sound real sometimes! Very relaxing! Laurie’s funny about you all being
burned at the stake! LOL
Ann, It seems we actually have many things in common…..I remember
buying 2 tickets for $200 to go see the Celtic Women in Griffith
Park……it was absolutely beautiful. And one of the listings I
have right now the owner collected Kinkade….I haven’t seen that many
expcept in the couple Kinkade shops I’ve been to. I love his work
also.
Anyway, nice….thanks.
It’s taken me almost as long to find and follow the meme chain as it
did to post my meme. The Old Man reminds me of the
Reclining Lady we have on our mountain top. Problem is you
can only see her if you are boating. She won’t be sliding
anywhere unless we have a massive earthquake. Much more famous,
at least to us on the west coast, are the Three Lions. Of course,
everything in the city is named after them including the
suspension bridge that allows passage to that side of the inlet.
No doubt you will see these views on TV when the 2010 Winter Olympics
take place. Nice chatting and thanks for stopping by my way.
