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.

Updated Saturday morning at 10:04 a.m.:  Ask and you shall receive.  Shannon now has a blog!

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.
