The Mad Hatter's Meme

What’s the meaning or inspiration of your blog’s title?

My first blog was called Sweet Dreams. It wasn't a big stretch that when I created a blog just for memes to make the rhyme thing happen.

What do you consider your biggest strength?

I generally can think clearly in emergencies. My auto-pilot mode is solid.

What do you consider your biggest weakness?

I chatter too much and I'm far too opinionated.

Tell us why we should like your favorite band.

You can like whoever you want. I like a lot of different bands for many different reasons. But U2 is one of those "good band for many reasons" bands.

Who is your favorite model of all-time? Why?

Uhh? That one guy... OK, no really, I don't even.

Does it bother you when people talk about their pets? Why?

Not really. I mean, if they're way too gooshy-smooshy about them, it gets old. But I'm not likely to get irritated at people talking about their kids, so pets are fair game too.

Tell us about your favorite holiday.

I love Thanksgiving. It's really all about family and gratitude and food. I can get behind all of those things! It only lasts one day, there's no ridiculous month-long decor that needs doing. It's just perfect.

What was the last fabulous meal that you ate? Where were you?

I haven't had "fabulous" for awhile, but yesterday's impromptu stop at Applebee's was good. Haven't been there in a very long time. In fact, maybe I'll have the leftovers for lunch.

What’s your lucky number and why?

I pretty much don't believe in lucky numbers. I do return to 3, 8, and 16 often though. Wish I knew why the latter two were involved; I totes get 3.

What are five things you hate?

The smell/taste of liver; mean/catty behavior; selfishness; nails on a chalkboard; endless gray wintry days.

What are five things you love?

The sound of kids unselfconsciously giggling; reading; the smell of cooking food; the taste of sugar; sunny autumn afternoons.

Tell us a secret you can because other than us, who’ll read this anyway?

I really do only watch car races for the wrecks. (OK, it's truck racing this afternoon--same thing)

What is the favorite body feature of yourself?

I like my hands and feet and hair.

Is there a tattoo that you want? If you don’t have one, gun-to-your-head so you have to get one, what would it be?

I'm not much interested in tattoos. If I had to get something, it would probably be my son's initials somewhere bony: ankle or hand.

What do you love about yourself?

I love that I'm tough and stubborn and willing to stick the hard stuff out.

What do you hate about yourself?

I hate that I have a hard time making decisions so often.

Who is someone you miss?

My dad, my sister Ellen, MIL and FIL and Mom. Lately it's been my sister Jean, since I'm going to her son's wedding this week and she often despaired that he would ever have enough sense to make it to adulthood. We are harrrd on our men in my family!
