Another Meme!

December5

Yay, how fun! This week, I was tagged for a meme. Susan at Sin­ner Saved tagged me for the Seven Ran­dom Things meme.

The Rules

1. Post the rules on your blog.

2. Write 7 ran­dom things about yourself.

3. Tag 7 peo­ple at the end of your post.

1. I don’t like the word ran­dom. I don’t believe there is any­thing ran­dom. Even ran­dom num­ber gen­er­a­tors are not really gen­er­at­ing ran­dom num­bers. There is a pro­gram to deter­mine what num­ber is gen­er­ated next.

2. Right now, I’m lov­ing the series Veron­ica Mars.

3. I needed a hair­cut about 2 weeks ago, and I’m |this close| to call­ing my styl­ist to beg her to fit me in even though my appoint­ment is Tues­day morning.

4. I shov­eled show for the first time this year ear­lier tonight.

5. I love the library and books. That’s not very sur­pris­ing or ran­dom, but this meme is pretty hard for some­one who doesn’t “do” random.

6. I am in love with my elec­tric blanket.

7. I put myself out there last night. If it turns out well, you’ll find out. Wish me luck (another thing I don’t believe in). :-)

I’m going to tag 7 peo­ple, but if you want to do this meme, put a link in the com­ments. I love read­ing about other peo­ple! And, if your name is Shan­non, get a blog so I can tag you.

A Book Meme

November26

Heather at Not a DIY Life tagged me for a book meme.

These are the rules
1. Grab the near­est book.
2. Open the book to page 56.
3. Find the fifth sen­tence.
4. Post the text of the next two to five sen­tences.
5. Don’t dig for your favorite book, the cool book or the intel­lec­tual one. Pick the Clos­est.
6. Tag five peo­ple to do the same

The clos­est book I have to me is called Artemis Speaks: V.B.A.C. Sto­ries & Nat­ural Child­birth Infor­ma­tion writ­ten and com­piled by Nan Koehler. I have no idea what I’m going to get on page 56. :-)

Most obste­tri­cians use tech­nol­ogy defen­sively in VBAC labors, in spite of the fact that there is no more jus­ti­fi­ca­tion for rou­tine inter­ven­tion than in any other labor. If a hor­i­zon­tal scar sep­a­rates, it does not cause mas­sive hem­mor­age, so there is no need for pro­phy­lac­tic IV. The uterus usu­ally con­tin­ues to con­tract nor­mally, and an elec­tronic fetal mon­i­tor will not pick up a scar sep­a­ra­tion.“
There you have it. I did want to break rule #5 by the way, but I didn’t do it.

I’m sup­posed to pick 5 peo­ple to do this meme, but instead I’m going to say if you do it, leave a com­ment and I’ll come read your meme.
