The lovely lady behind Lag Liv recently tagged me for a very intriguing meme. It’s so rarely that I’m actually tagged for a meme, that I had to do it. Plus, I had to admit, it was a danged fine meme. Who am I kidding? I probably would have done this one anyhow, tagged or not. That’s just how I roll.

THE RULES:

** Post about the meme and link back to the person that tagged you.
** Go back to your archives and link to your five favorite posts.

Link One: must be about family
Link Two: must be about friends
Link Three: must be about yourself
Link Four: must be about something you love
Link Five: can be anything you choose

** Tag five other people (at least two must be new acquaintances so that you can get to know them better). Oh please. We all know I’m not going to follow this particular rule. I am a horrible tagger. I would a) not have the guts to actually tag them in the first place for fear that they would blatantly ignore me and think me a dweeb and b) not have the guts to go to their blog and tell them they were tagged. So there you have it. No tagging. But if you want to do it and/or actually do this meme on your blog, LET ME KNOW so I can go peep at your answers. Deal?

1. Family Hmm. This is hard. Because pretty much a LOT of my posts are about my family. And it was pretty hard to find a “favorite” among those. I finally settled on “Spacing” which I posted last April. While a lot of the content is rather ironic considering my current condition, I think it’s a poignant look at “family planning” and how the whole “planning” thing is really just an illusion.
2. Friends Gah. Heh. I could basically go two directions on this. Fondly or not so. Let’s see… There’s this post where I talk about my anti-social tendencies that have only gotten worse as I’ve gotten older and more isolated. There’s also this post where I discuss how much I am lonely and want to have friends (do I sense a contradiction? Yes, I do!). There’s even this post where I tried (rather unsuccessfully, actually) to kiss some butt and mend some fences. I tried looking for some positive friendship posts but I couldn’t find much that I actually really liked. I guess I need to start writing more positive things about friendships in here, huh?
3. Myself Oh, this shouldn’t be difficult at all. There’s a TON of posts about me on here. I like this post about wanting to find more self-confidence now that I’m getting older. Then again, I also really, really like this post where I expose my feelings about being able to get pregnant so easily a) after suffering infertility and b) when I know so many that struggle so hard. Tough choice! I love them both.
4. Something I Love Well, there is the post I wrote last night about our new bad. I love that pretty much a WHOLE lot. BUT, in the interest of romance, I’m going to have to forgo that one in lieu of this rather schmoopy post from our anniversary this last year. And every word of it? TOTALLY TRUE. I definitely do love that man of mine. Absolutely have no idea what I’d do without him.
5. My Choice Hoo boy! I’ve got a couple here (again!) (good thing the rules aren’t too specific about only picking ONE post). I *LOVE* this post about my religious leanings. I could write that post over every six months or so and probably have a different post each time. But this pretty much holds true. I also love this post I wrote on Jackson’s third birthday (or what would have been, rather) last year. How about this post where Liam was introduced for the first time? That was such an awesome day. And then I like this post where I put up some advice about dealing with someone who has had a miscarriage or stillbirth or the like.

Whew! I think that covers it! At least, it damn well better cover it. I’ve easily been working on this darn post for the last 12 hours. Okay, that’s a lie. I worked on it for a couple hours this morning and then we were out of the house all day long. But I put a good three hours in on this post. So that should count for SOMETHING, right?

Oh, and if you’re wondering? The new bed is just as fabulous as I always hoped it would be. Who knew that I wouldn’t have to flop like a fish out of water just to roll over, that I could simply just roll? It’s a miracle! That bed is my new BFF.
