2. Reading uninterrupted.

3. Laughing so hard my face and sides hurt

1. People who hurt children, the elderly, or animals.

2. People who discuss their poop issues with me in conversation. (”Oh, I can’t eat _____. It goes right through me!” “No, broccoli for me. Gives me gas.” “Man, I had the runs last night!”) I have no desire to know what took you so long in the restroom. Gack.

Now I have to tag then. Right. Hmmm, how about…

kellypea - who has also tagged me for a meme….but a meme that calls for me to think…which is tough under normal circumstances…even tougher after a fun filled holiday weekend….but it gives me something to blog about tomorrow.

The New Girl - Oh, come on. I meme’d for you…won’t you please meme for me?

The Boy - who actually has plenty to blog about right now (he has three posts in the works), but I think he would enjoy this

* I started out thinking this would be an easy meme…but this thing took me freakin’ forever. Ouch, my brain.
