Other Than My Two Front Teeth

Finish this line:

All I want for Christmas is...

The Monthly Book Question

Currently on my nightstand: Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen,  and Scar Tissue (a book of  poems) by Charles Wright.

Your turn: What book is currently on your nightstand?

The Weekly Three Things

Three random things I did this past weekend:

• Went to a friend's annual Girl's Night In Wine and Whine Party. Yes, there was a sign on the door that  said No Men Allowed (apparently they have cooties). Yes, much wine was consumed. Yes, it was much fun. 
  
• Went to the park during  a snow storm with two little girls under the age of seven. Yes, it is true that no boys were invited (I have been told  they have cooties) Yes, snow angels were made. Yes, it was  much fun.
  
• Spent an entire day reading and allowing  myself to become lost in thoughts about someone special.  Yes, it is possible he has cooties (he is after all a man who was  once a boy). Yes, it is  true that I still have not said who he is. Yes, that is  part of  the fun. 

Your turn. Name three random things  you did  this past weekend.

It is time to socialise and make small talk.......

It really is as simple as answer and ask. Please remember you are a pleasant guest and this is only small talk, albeit of the amusing kind. Some possible questions mght be:

• What book are you reading?

Please, keep it non-personal and ask fun questions. And  yes you can come back to mix and mingle, in fact I encourage it.

The "Hello, Michele Sent Me" Four Day Meet 'N' Greet

Thank you to the wonderful people who play multiple times, each of you are guilty of spreading lots of comment cheer - hugs from me.

Please play along.

Note to the first person commenting: simply say hello to me.

And YES, of course you are invited to play often. As you already know, I encourage that sort of thing. However,  please allow at least five people to play (or at least thirty minutes to pass) before you comment again.

Something About Michele

What a pleasant surprise to find  you here - visiting my blog. Where have you been? Were you too busy to read  my many oh-so-wonderful posts that appeared in the last few days? Oh wait, what is  that you claim, that there were no wonderful posts to read? Hmm, maybe you are correct, or maybe I am talking about the wonderfulness that will appear on Monday? Yes, that must be it.   

About comments being treated as spam: I'm sorry. I don't know how to fix it, however, I will send  a second call for help to Typepad. In the meantime, if  this happens to you while playing the Meet n' Greet, simply post  your URL  in the body of the message and only post your blog-name and e-mail (which is  never published) in the required fields.

About the new private tell-all-blog and password: No one has been sent an invitation, yet.  There is no such blog, yet. There might be in the  new year.  Of course, you  (and  yes, I am talking about you) will be one of the first to know.

About those two rumours that have been circulating  about  me: Well, one of them is true and the other one isn't.  Which one  is true?  Well, the  good one of course!

About the new rules for the bad Meet n' Greet behaviour: I've decided to wait and see if it continues before doing anything. Yes, I am watching you. No, not  you, the  other person.

About the fact that I like the word about: Thanks for noticing. It's about time that someone did!  I feel special and all twinkly when you notice these things.

That's about it. Have a great weekend. Hugs....
