Come On….You Know You Want To.

A housekeeping note:  Is anyone else (besides HBL) getting some weird garbledeegoop code showing up here in my posts?  I don’t see it on my PC but it’s showing up on his.  If so, what do I do about it??   Mystery solved.  It shows up in I.E. but not Firefox.  Now I guess I’ll have to check it each time in both.  grrrrr…..

Yankee Chick had this cool Meme going on and I just had to take the challenge.  I asked for the letter “A” so I could start everything with….”A blah blah…” but she gave me “R” instead.  My first response was to shake my head vigorously and say I can’t do ten things that start with R. Then I decided I’d at least give it a try and I was pleasantly surprised to know I loved more “R” things than I ever could have imagined.   RRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrr……….

If you’d like to take this challenge, leave a dollar on the table and you can buy a letter, but don’t be askin for an “A” because if I can’t have it, neither can you.  Now here’s how this works.

You leave a comment on this post and tell me you want to play, and I’ll assign you a letter. You write about ten things you love that begin with your assigned letter, and post it at your place. When people comment on your list, you give them a letter, and the chain continues on and on.  Got it?   O.k. then, lets get to it.


 

1.   Rain – I love it when it rains, especially when I have no place to be and can stay in bed and listen to the thunder and be consoled by the beautiful sound of rain.


2.   Ruidoso, NM – My favorite place in the world.

 

3.   Romance – It’s as essential as air.


4.   Rivers – I grew up playing on the river so it feels so safe.  I love the thought that a river never ends.  It just takes on a new life on down the way.


5.   Reading – I love to read.  I read anything and everything and I’m convinced that’s why I’m so forgetful.   My brain is filled to the brim and so now when I put something new in, something old has to be deleted.  Really.


6.   Rodeos – I’m a cowgirl at heart and have been since I was very young.  Want to see my boots?? I love watching the sport of Rodeo and believe it’s overlooked as the great sport that it is.


7.   Red Hair – I spent so many years hating my red hair then after I finally embraced it, I wish I hadn’t wasted all those years because now I love it. *and now it’s turning grey.  Go figure. *


8.   Recipes – I love to read recipes and dream of whipping them up and astounding my family.  My dreams hardly ever come true but maybe someday.


9.   Reconciliations – We’ve all got those relationships that need reconciled.  It’s such a great thing when it finally happens.


10. Ranch Dressing – I eat it on everything from pizza to pickles.  *Yankee Chick should have given me the letter “P”*  LOL

 

 

It’s your turn now.

 

HAPPY TRAILS, Y’ALL

    I’m first and I want a letter JAG had this and she never gave me one!

    Well how about “Z”. LOL Just kidding. Your letter is “L” Is that better? :)

  2. Plunger Girl Says:

    Yeah, but if she’d given you the letter “P” you’d be talking about penises non-stop. You perv.

    Now kids, stop that! LOL So does that mean you don’t want a letter or you do?

  3. morethananelectrician Says:

    Alright…I’m in.

    Uhmm…..your letter is “S” and no you can’t list SEX ten times. *wink*

  4. thistle Says:

    Send me a letter…just not ‘X’…please ;)

    How about a “B”? WAY better than an “X”

  5. Jan Says:

    LMAO @ PlungerGirl!

    Okay, I’ll play along. Hit me with a letter!

    Will an “F” do? Oh Lordy, I just gave Jan an “F”. LOL

  6. Lori Says:

    First of all I love your list of R things…second of all, I would love to play this game…I love games! I can hardly wait to see what letter I get! It will be fun to read everyone elses too!

    Lori, your letter is “D”. Have fun!

  7. feathermaye Says:

    Hi! I tripped over from your recent comment @ Nanny Goats in Panties (I admit it, I wanted to see what her “present” was) and would love to play, too!

    I like the idea of a meme I can opt-in to, instead of being randomly tagged. Oh–the pressure! :)

    HI Feathermaye and welcome. I’d be happy to give you a letter and then can’t wait to run over and see your list when you post it. I’m giving you a “C”.

    Have fun!

    p.s. Did you find Nanny Goat’s gift? It’s on the post titled Christmas Gift List V. :)

  8. Midlife Mama Says:

    I’d like to play….sign me up please. :)

    And the red hair going gray thing? I have two words for you. Hair. Weave. Poof! Gray is gone and it looks perfectly natural. :)

    Thank you for drivfing trafrfic my way, btw. WOW.

    Weave. Got it…..or will get it. As to the driving traffic your way, that’s all because you are linkable…..uh er…..lovable. :)

    I bestow upon you the letter “G” Have fun.

  9. Midlife Mama Says:

    …..or traffic, because apparently I cannot spell today. LOL

    I knew that. LOL

  10. Di Says:

    I am not seeing any weird goobblydeegook on your post… HBL may have a computer virus or a trojan horse on his computer… I had weird stuff happen a couple of months ago and it was a trojan horse so had to buy a program to get rid of it.

    No way I”m going to tell him he’s got a trogan horse. He’s already pretty proud of himself, anyway. *wink*

    Seriously, I will run his virus software and see what’s going on or else take it in and let someone who actually knows what they are doing figure it out. Thanks!

  11. Midlife Mama Says:

    p.p.s. I see lots of weird gobbledegook on your blog.

    I see some at the top, and then by each of the numbers on your list.

    It looks like code. I’ll copy and paste some here for you:

    7. Red Hair

    Also your font is REALLY HUGE but I thought maybe you were doing that on purpose so those of us “older folks” could read it without glasses. LOL

    Damn, I have no idea what’s going on except that I’ve started writing my posts in Word and then pasting them here because WordPress doesn’t give you many options for font sizes or any other styles. On another note, where you wrote “7. Red Hair” it looks normal on my computer. No code. I wonder if it’s because I use Mozella Firefox instead of Internet Explorer. hmmm……weird.

  12. Gem Says:

    Hey, Can I get in on this too? I really want a letter.
    I use Mozilla and everything looks fine.
    We’ve had the dreaded flu in our house. But do you think everyone could get it at once – oh no we have to do it one at a time and I have to run around after them all! OK enough whining now.
    Cheers

    Awww…sorry you’ve had your hands full with sick ones. Maybe this little game will cheer you up. It did me. :)

    Your letter is “H”

    Have fun!!

  13. feathermaye Says:

    Okay, I’m done with my list. You can find it here: http://www.feathermaye.com/2008/12/oh-say-can-youc.html I had fun with it, so thanks for this!

    BTW: I see your page just fine, too. I am using Mozilla. I don’t use wordpress, but I’ve discovered that I cannot compose a blog in Word 2007 and copy it into blogger because of the extra garbage-code that Word throws into the formatting. It’s really quite frustrating.

    On my way to your place to see your list, right now! I think you’re right about Word 2007. I never had a problem until I started doing the copy paste instead of writing it directly in WordPress.

  14. Ken Says:

    Ohhh do you know what you have done? You gave me the letter “L” oh for shame on you! I am going to have fun with that I will try to keep it to only 10.

    Uhm…..uh oh.

  15. Smart Mouth Broad Says:

    Me too, me too. A letter, please. Not sure when I will find the time to do it but I want to PLAY! 4am. Yep, that’s when I’ll schedule it. LOL Right

    I bestow upon you the letter “K”.

  16. steppingthru Says:

    I did this same post and got not one single taker. Guess my readers are not players.

    Well….what can I say? Maybe not.

  17. hedon Says:

    Hey!

    Like your list! I’ll take a letter if you have any spare ones sitting around.

    Okie dokie, I give you the letter “J” Have fun!!

  18. Gem Says:

    Challenge completed! “H” was really hard!!!!

    But you did it so that’s great!!! You could have used “Hard challenges” as something you loved. LOL

  19. goodfather Says:

    Great list! Rain isn’t on my ‘R’ list, but that’s just because of where I live, heheh.

    Sign me up! I’ll take a letter if you have any left ;) .

    Sure, I’ve got plenty left. How about an “M”?

    Can’t wait to see your list!

  20. goodfather Says:

    Oh, and I apologize for the mental scarring you underwent on my blog. My bad. ;)

    Haha….it’s o.k. I’ll get over it, but I do have to admit I thought to myself….”it’s weird that I know what Goodfather is gettin some tonight.”. LOL

  21. yankeechick Says:

    Awesome list! I am SO a Rodeo fan, too. Love, Love, LOVE me some good Barrel Racing!!!

    I think the blog thing is an IE issue. Folks were telling me the same thing about the dif in IE and Mozilla. Guess it is okay now, but I have no idea how or why….

    The most awesome rodeo in the world is the National Finals in Las Vegas. We missed it this year but there is nothing quite like it.

    I think I fixed my issue. I guess I’ll have to post in I.E. but I’ll do everything else in Firefox because I like it so much better than I.E.

  22. BearNaked Says:

    I want to play also.
    Are there any *easy* letters left?

    Bear((( )))

    Of course, Mrs. Bear. How about a “T”?
    Have fun!

  23. hedon Says:

    J? You gave me J? You’re secretly a sadist aren’t you? LOL

    Managed it though. Thanks that was fun.

  24. Fragrant Liar Says:

    Oh, jeez. Okay, I’m in. What’s my alpha, Ma?

    KJ

    How about an “N” and you can’t say “Nana”. LOL
