Third, I was tagged by Cathy from Where’s My Damn Answer to complete this meme. And I was tagged by my pal Betty from The Joe Review to complete the same meme. So, this is a Two For One!

7 Things You Do NOT Know About Me.

(This one is going to be hard, I think I’ve told ya’ll everything about me!)

1. I Don’t Like Going To The Beach

[Its just too much ‘work’ for me. Finding a parking space, carrying all those chairs, the sand that you can never fully wash off for weeks….]

2. I Only Drink Out Of One Cup (It’s A Glass Mason Jar w/ A Straw)

[I love straws. I love then so much I have to have a straw in every beverage I drink. (hot or cold.) I ’steal’ them from every where they have straws on display, Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, ect..my glove compartment is filled with them.]

3. I Am Very Shy/Reserved/Quiet When I Am In A New Environment

4. I Collect Fairies & Dragonfly Objects

5. I Am Still Scared Of The Dark

[I have to fall asleep with the TV on at night because having a nightlight is ridiculous at my age.]

6. The Tattoo On My Right Buttox Cheek Says: Little Miss Nasty

[Thus, I will never drink tequila again.]

7. I Learn All My Lessons In Life The Hard Way

[I have never been able to ‘learn from others mistakes’. I learn from my own HANDS ON experience. When I do fuck-up, or make a mistake, I fuck-up BIG TIME. However, once I do learn my lesson, I never have to repeat the same mistake.]

  3. Awwwwww, thanks so much Meleah – are you soooooo sweet. And we are gonna have to change that beach thing. See you need a hot guy to carry all your stuff and get you drinks while you sit in your chair and soak up some rays. Have a great day BFF !!!!!

  4. Hey! Congratulations on your awards!

    I have a night light. It’s located in the bathroom so I don’t trip over something and get all banged up in the middle of the night.

    “Little Miss Nasty” On you right Buttox cheek? I’d love to have a photo of that! LOL! I dare you! I double dog dare you!!!

  5. Lee says:

    Nice job on the memes and congratulations on the awards. Most of all, thanks for the recognition for my little piece of the blogosphere. I’m luvin’ your blog too!

    Just for the record, I’m going to be dealing with mental images of that tattoo for the rest of the day. Maybe it’ll take my mind off the migraine I’m dealing with.

  6. Little Miss Nasty huh? LOL

    I don’t like going to the beach either. And we live in a great area with great beaches…go figure!

  7. You forgot to say this about yourself – you are BEAUTIFUL! Oh yes, you’re a beautiful woman!

    Ha your tattoo and the tequila statements are raising eyebrows now. That’s so funny. Oh yes, you forgot to add that you’re funny and has a great sense of humor too! These are your qualities girl, and the right man is still out there for you.

  8. I collect dragonflies too … I have loved them forever and one day learned that they were a symbol of strength. 😀

  9. OK – SO I hate the dark as well – When my hubby was deployed overseas is when it really kicked in and now I need the tv on to fall asleep when he is not there!!
    Love the tattoo that is very funny!! That is why WINE is so much better to drink {LOL} 😉

  10. Congratulations on your awards! A tattoo on your bum! ha ha!

  11. Mark says:

    Congratulations! I had to read it twice to get everything in! 🙂

  12. Random Chick says:

    I have a tattoo on my right butt cheek too! Mine is just a heart! ha ha ha!

    That was fun!!

  13. Thanks for the award, Little Miss Nasty! 😉

    Hey, I’ve NEVER learned from the mistakes of others either….I mean, how do I know it won’t be different FOR ME?…right?!?!?….makes life difficult sometimes….but interesting ALWAYS! 🙂
    xoxo

  14. Meleah says:

    Nick:
    His plump, bloated, sweaty-ness makes him all The More Attractive to me. I love his face, and his perfect delivery of comedy.

    Jennifer:
    Yes, I worked HARD on this post.
    Im glad you find my embarrassment so humorous.
    wink wink

    The Girl I Will Bring Home:

    I had to give this award to you. You are awesome.
    xoxox

    AIR:
    Oh HELL No. It was hard enough TO TELL YOU
    There is NO WAY any photo of THAT will ever be circulated!
    🙂

    Lee:
    You Are Welcome.
    I really do Love Your Blog.
    And you!
    A LOT

    Mrs Schmitty:
    We all have secrets!
    I cant with the Beach. It is too much work for me!

    RMH:

    Cathy WMDA

    xoxoxo

  15. Debo Hobo says:

    Gosh girl you get tagged a lot…..I just tag you on my blog as well…sorry 😉

  16. cmk says:

    Thank you, thank you, thank you! I LOVE the award!

    I think we have discussed my use of nightlights before: EVERY room in my house has one, so I understand the not liking the dark thing.

    See, you CAN come up here to visit. For at least half of the year, when we go to the beach, it is ALL ice and snow–NO sand to be seen. 🙂

    Your tattoo is the reason I waited till I was older than dirt to get mine. I thought long and hard about it and came up with something unique AND something I wanted for the rest of my life. NO Little Miss Nasty for me. 😉

  17. Oscar says:

    Wow, you are special aren’t you!

    Nice to share “Fun Facts”

    So you imagine you are married to “Mr. Conductor”.

    You rock.

  18. Selma says:

    ‘Little Miss Nasty’ – oh, I love that. Tequila will do that to you. I danced on a table in a very posh restaurant once after a few tequila shots. Thank God there were no tattoo artists in sight, because I’m sure if there had been I would have got a tattoo. I just love that story. Thanks so much for the award. You are the best!

  19. Meleah says:

    Debo Hobo:
    Okay…Ill see if I can get to that as soon as possible.
    🙂

    CMK:
    You’re Welcome
    And I may take you up on THAT offer!
    xox

    Oscar:
    I just want to be married to Jack Donaghy
    (Alec’s character on 30 Rock)

    Selma:
    Oh well thankfully you did not have a tattoo artist in sight!
    Your welcome for the award. You know I love you.
    xoxox

  20. Whoa- that post must have taken you 3 days to complete! LOL

    I wish you were a millionaire too … then I’d ask for a loan 😉

  21. I think the “Little Miss Nasty” jumps off the page … all the males ears perk. Ha haaaaa !!!!!

    I’m not sure yet, but I think YOU are the only one to find and actually do my tag. (and I cheated too) You are now at the top of my list – and all future tags will be for everyone but you.

    Slather ….. what a great word. I like to slather chicken all over my body 🙂 I know that makes no sense, but when do I ever ??

    Here is how I go to the beach! I ride my bike down to the lake, ride along the trail parallel to it, and fake a bad crash into the sand. Then I cry out, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! It was working really well until this last year.

    Kudos to your fine organization skills. WOOT WOOT

    I have a tatoo …….

  22. Meleah says:

    Drowsey:
    This post DID take FOREVER to complete! and I would definitely give you a loan if I was a millionaire!

    Speedy:
    HI! Wow, I am the Only One that did your tag? Thats a shame!

    (Slather is one of my FAVORITE words in the world!)

    And wait…YOU HAVE A TATTOO also? Out with it! I need to know where and what it is? Im dying over here having totally exposed my tattoo secret I vowed never to tell the Internet!

  23. (that is just a secret for you only to know … so please don’t tell anyone !)

  24. holly says:

    that was a meme extravaganza!!! you must be tired now. 🙂

  25. Meleah says:

    Speedy:
    Ha ha ha ha
    Your secret is safe with me. I wont tell anyone.
    But, I cant speak for everyone else over here!


    HollyDolly:

    I feel like the tag & meme champion. Who needs a nap!

  26. You have been one busy girl… and I still think we were twins in another life because we are so much alike.

    xoxo to you, girlie!

  27. terri says:

    Whew! That was a lot of tags and memes! Thanks for passing the “Lovin Your Blog” award onto me. I have recently become the worlds worst participator in memes and such but I will do my best to pay it forward.

  28. So you’re married to Mr. Conductor eh? That’s weird- didn’t he call one of his daughters a pig or something and it was posted online.

    I am going to have to go out in a Thomas the Tank Engine video and see if Mr. Conductor is hot or not… now.

  29. Barbara says:

    I’m worn out (but very entertained) from reading this! You did a great job with the memes!!!!

  30. •Betty• says:

    WOW! We kept you busy! *giggles*
    We sleep with the TV on too for the same reason. lol!

  31. Meleah says:

    Diva:
    we really DO have tons in common!
    xoxox

    Terri:
    OMG. I am The Worst with tags and memes, so when I finally get around to them, its a mile and a year LONG!
    I love you and your blog!
    xxxxooo

    Michelle:
    He is SUPER HOT.
    All. The. Time.
    Yes, even though he called his daughter a pig, I was on “Team Baldwin” and HERE is why!

    Barbara:
    Aw. Thank you!

    Betty:
    Ya’ll do keep me busy and very entertained.
    I love my internet and my blog FAMILY

  32. Natural says:

    fun read. reddish brown hair. really. i didn’t know that.

    is that a credit card up top? 🙂

  33. paisley says:

    you know i am in love with you and i will be here till hell freezes over,, which if the greenies in this world have anythng to say about it… it will never happen!!!!stuck like glue!!!!!!!!

  34. I would NEVER circulate the photo of your butt tattoo. I’m not that kind of gal. However, I might have it enlarged, and hang it in my bedroom. ;o) Don’t worry, NO ONE will see it there. lol

  35. Meleah says:

    Valerie:
    Yes & Yes!

    Paisley:
    I love you back my internet sister.
    xoxoxoxo

    AIR:

    HA HA HA HA
    Now that is FUNNY.

  36. Well, that’s quite a lot to respond to. I have to say that I do feel like I know you better now (even though we’ve never met – blogging is funny that way). I could probably go down the list and comment on each thing but that would take all day and since I haven’t become a “billionaire” yet (millionaire would suit me fine, by the way) I, too, must work and not write all day.

    Thank you for sharing.

  37. Congratulations on the accolades. And thank you much for that you have bestowed upon my blog.

  38. Meleah says:

    Richard:
    Blogging memes were made for us to get to know each other better! I just took forever to answer all of them, so I decided to answer all of them at once! Thanks for reading.

    Urban:
    You are VERY welcome.

  39. Meleah – By the way, do you know what happened to Stephanie of Your Presence Requested? When I try to go to her blog I get a message that it’s been deleted. ! ?

  40. Momo Fali says:

    Holy meme’s, woman! That was the post to end all posts! Very informative and very fun. I thought we were long lost sisters…but, I LOVE the beach.

  41. Meleah says:

    Richard:
    Yes. I do know where Steph is. She and I have been friends for years. She is FINE, but she is very busy right now with real life things. She is taking a blog break. Don’t worry she will be back soon enough. I will email her your comment to let her know you are thinking of her.
    🙂

    Momo Fali:
    I know you love the beach!
    And I think I am free from Memes and Tags at least until 2009!
    This post Kicked My Ass!
    xoxoxxo

  42. Love it! Thank you, my friend.

    Hugs.

  43. jodycakes says:

    Love all the facts!!! You are VERYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY interesting!!! 🙂

  44. Meleah says:

    Ingrid:
    Love you woman.

    Jodycakes:
    And that is how you do a full blown TMI post!

  45. dcr says:

    My favorite glass used to be a mug that was basically a glass jar with a handle. That was my favorite glass, until one time a plumber borrowed it… to empty out the old toilet!

    It would have been nice if (a) the plumber had said what is was to be used for or (b) the plumber had brought his own freakin’ tool for emptying the toilet. I mean, seriously, you know you’re going to be replacing a toilet, and you have tools and stuff for removing and replacing said toilet, is it that much effort to invest in a cheap toilet emptying device instead of asking the homeowner for their good glasses?
