You've Been Meme'd

I was very surprised at how quickly this meme spread through the blog world. Within a matter of days most of the blogs I read on a daily basis had this as a post in some form or fashion. And believe me, I sit at a computer all day long so I read plenty of blogs.

The first couple of memes I saw I thought, 'eh'. I likened it to an email chain letter and shrugged it off as "blog spam". Then it started appearing everywhere. I read a few and thought it was interesting to know more about the people behind the blog, and soon I found myself wondering when I'd get 'tagged' to post one of my own. And like I said, the meme spread quicker than a wild fire and within hours I found myself being tagged.

So here is my meme. I'm supposed to tag 5 people to post their own, but I'd rather not list names because 1) I don't want you to feel obligated to do so, and 2) I don't want you to feel guilty if you decline the tag. SO, feel free to tag yourself for me if you should choose to post your own meme. And if you do, drop me a line and let me know so I can take a gander.

Love ya,
