Memory Lane, the meme

Again saved by a meme… a recycling meme, from a new friend no less. Jennifer over at Thursday Drive has saved me from having to come up with new and insightful material today. The idea is that some of my best writing may actually be behind me. I love new friends. I love memes. I kind of hate recycling but do it anyway because it’s expected of educated, middle class citizens with a conscience.

So here I go complying with orders and re-issuing some old Madmarriage posts for your perusal. It’s a sort of best of compilation. With categories: The best post about friends, family, me, something I love and a wild card selection.

And the winner in the friends category just has to be Gift Swap Gone Wrong which is a sort of blow by blow of the evening I spent trying to make friends and, instead, alienating a town with my errant gift selection. Read it and weep right along with me.

The post that I will include to represent something that I love is called Closer to Okay, a suggestion that however imperfect my stabs at affection, I really do love my children.

My favorite family related posting has to be May the Road Rise to Meet You a treatise on how just how difficult it is to send the young-ins off into the big wide world without car seats and responsible bus drivers.

And the one bit exclusively, indulgently, unabashedly about me is obviously The Self Interview of last April.

A post that just needs to be included here and therefore will take the Wild Card spot is Louse in the House, proof that I was dancing dangerously close to insanity last March.

Enjoy the regurgitation and since I’m supposed to coerce new friends to play along: Gypsy at Heart, edj of Planet Nomad, liv and flutter – have at it.
