Middle Name Meme

Camy Tang tagged me!

The Rules:

1. You have to post these rules before you give the facts.

2. Players, you must list one fact that is somehow relevant to your life for each letter of their middle name. If you don’t have a middle name, use the middle name you would have liked to have had.

3. When you are tagged you need to write your own blog-post containing your own middle name game facts.

4. At the end of your blog-post, you need to choose one person for each letter of your middle name to tag.

5. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

Marie–which is French for Sea of Bitterness. Uh-oh, I don’t like the direction this is heading!

M – Married Mommy. It’s who I am, non-stop. In the middle of the night I’m mindful of the noises coming from my children’s rooms. Rarely do I make a decision without considering its effect upon my husband’s life. Relationships are forever…another reason to love being a daughter of the Lord.

(I tend not to break the board at Taekwon-do when I’m in Mommy Mode! My instructor has to remind me of that every now and then.)

A – Animated. Someone could make a really great cartoon out of me. When we won the “BIG” money on Family Feud, I was a wee bit excited. Some of my cousins have watched the episode on slo-mo and swear my jaw actually became unhinged. I enjoy life and I’m vocal about it!

R – Real. At least I try to be. I’ll tell you anything, absolutely anything, if you ask. I try to say what I mean, live with integrity, and keep in the Word–great way to keep grounded.

I – Intelligent. The only reason I’m posting that is because my husband said it when I got stuck on I. It’s terribly sweet of him to say that instead of some other words I can think of!

E – Emotional. I can cry at Hallmark commercials. Years ago, after sending our proposal to a top agency, an agent asked to see a portion of the book. Ecstatic, Mom and I ran into the backyard, spun around, and fell to our backs in the grass. (Later, we were turned down.) I can’t imagine what we’ll do when we actually sign a publishing contract!

I tag:
Donna Fleisher
Rel
Tina Helmuth
Ernie Wenk
& Tammy Bowers

Side note: I’m typing this pretty late at night and my daughter is sleeping on the couch in our room–a special treat for her. I heard her murmuring and turned to see what was happening. The cat was curled up next to her, but she must have thought she was grabbing a stuffed animal. She curled her arm around him and squeezed him up to her neck. The cat was not amused! He has now moved to her legs. 🙂

    Aw, how cute (your daughter and the cat, I mean)!

    I’m pretty emotional, too. I cry at Lifetime movies and Hallmark movies. I even cry at sad commercials.

    Ok, I’m doing mine here as I am trying to keep my blog strictly to all things book related (excepting Donna and vegemite tales, of course!) I;m lucky my middle name is so short…

    J ~ Jester – I’m married to one. I prayed I would marry someone who could make me laugh and God took me seriously – LOL!!!

    O ~ Organised – well, it is what I aim for! Whether I reach it is another thing!

    Y ~ Yes! I find it hard to say no to people so I am learning through painful experience! You would think by my age I would have got the hang of it!!!

    Thanks Christina 🙂

    Hi there! Rachel Smith here. Found you from Camy’s.

    I got tagged for the meme too. Only my middle name has 8 letters in it! I had to get my mom to help me come up with enough to fill the thing out, lol.
