Meet My Friends Monday #1

Toni has started a new meme called "Meet My Friends." It is basically a way of sharing with others some of your favorite blogs. On Mondays you can highlight a favorite blog of yours anyway you want to. Visit Toni's blog to join & find more information.

That being said the blog I would like to highlight this week is by my friend Robin. Robin's blog is called Healthy Living. Her blog focuses on losing weight and health tips. She also is a Herbalife Distributor and sells products to lose weight the healthy way.

Robin is also a great supporter of my blog. I "met" her almost a year ago (which is hard to believe) through "Mybloglog." And we have been friends ever since. We have supported each other through our blogs, and through tips on the stuff that goes with blogging. Like generating traffic, widgets, Entrecard, etc.

So if you get a chance visit her blog. Leave her a comment, she'll more than likely return one to you. She is one of the nicest people I've "met" in the blogsphere!

The 6th Picture Meme

I stole got this from Catnip & Coffee  blog.This is the 6th picture meme. All you have to do is go to your Sixth Picture Folder then pick your Sixth Picture. Post that picture and then tell the details of the picture.

Above is my 6th picture in my 6th picture folder. This was taken in 2004, but the thing I don't get is I'm 100 percent postive it wasn't taken in January! Unlike the date showing in the corner of the picture. Must have been set wrong. This was taken sometime in the summer when we were camping. That's the two kids sharing a seat! In the background is our tent. When we were still camping with a tent. Now I'm happy we have a pop up camper though.

The kids look so little! It's nice to look at old pictures and see how much the kids have grown. Hey if you want to steal do this meme too feel free!

2.Your birth month plus the word affixed or rhymed shall become the tag’s title in your case.

7 Random Things about Me

I was tagged awhile ago for two different memes. One by Cascia from The Healthy Moms, and one by Amy from Adventures in Being. So I decided to combine them into one post.


The rules:

a. Link to the person who tagged you.
b. Post the rules on your blog.
c. Write seven random things about yourself.
d. Tag seven random people at the end of your post by linking to their blogs.
e. Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment at their blog.
f. Let your tagger know when your entry is up.

About Me!

1. I love birds. I love to feed the birds, bird watch, and can identify most birds.

2. I am the "Baby" in my family, I have two older sisters.

3. I lived in the same house all my life, (until I got married) which is in Massachusetts. My family never moved! And my mother still lives there.

4. I attended a Catholic College, St. Anselm's College, Even though I'm not Catholic - lol!

5. For various reasons, I didn't get my drivers license until I was 24 yrs. old!

6. I love soap operas.I don't know if I should admit this, but I have watched the ABC Soaps since I was like 9 yrs old!

7. My favorite show on TV is Survivor! I have watched every season since it started and I try not to miss any of the episodes. I tape them or watch them online too! Don't tell me who won Sunday night because I didn't watch the Season Finale yet! (hope that doesn't make me a geek - lol)

***UPDATE! I just watched the Survivor Finale. I'm so mad. I wanted Amanda to win! Any other Survivor Fans out there feel the same way?

So that's 7 random things about me. Like I saw on someone else's blog, I am going to just keep this a self tagging meme. Since I've noticed most bloggers have already done this one. If you haven't already done it and want to, leave me comment after yours is up and I'll include your link :)
