The delicious Amanda tagged me for the alphabet meme that’s making the rounds, and frankly, it’s just in the nick of time.
We’re in the home stretch of NaBloTooManyBlogsToRead and I’m in a shitty mood. It’s the holidays, and soon I’ll be resuming my list of all the reasons I hate Christmas.
By the way, how about my fabulous new banner? A great big thank you shout-out to Vicki at Swank Web Style for summing up my feelings about what Lisa calls “xmess.” Isn’t she amazing, folks?
Because I am sick of hearing myself whine and complain, I’m tackling this meme. The rules are:
- Use each letter of the alphabet to generate a word that describes you.
- The words must be positive. No “L is for lame” or “B is for balding.”
- Link to your tagger and your tagees.
Here goes nuthin’.

Cripes, that was harder than I thought. I haven’t been too keen on tagging lately, but this was an interesting vocabulary exercise. I tag Andi, Mrs. Mustard and Fizz. Good luck, ladies.

Xerox alumna???????
Grasping my dear, grasping.
Everyone has kick arse Christmas banners up. Will have to ask my resident teenager to make me one. And it will rock!!!
I’m glad no one has tagged me for that one. But then knowing me I will forget about it till 8 people have tagged me and then start sending hate mail.
I totally like your banner!! Great List and thanks for not tagging me! lol have a great day!
I’ve always been annoyed by X. Why aren’t there more words to choose from starting with that damned letter?
I’ve seen that meme. It scares me.
Love the banner. Until we get snow, I’ll be grouchy. And the grinch is on tv tonight! Already! At 9pm?!?! What kid watches that at 9pm BEFORE December?!
a-hem.
Do you mind tackling yet another meme? You don’t know me, but I’ve been reading (and enjoying) your blog for a few months now. Mine’s super easy–list 7 random things about you–and hey, it’s material for NaBloPoMo!
By the way, I love the new banner. The meme post is below, if you want to take a look.

I have been fearing being tagged by this one (mostly because of “x” and “z”). Perhaps I am zappy too? Thanks, I’ll have to work on this for awhile.
And I love, love, love your banner. So funny and fabulous (just like you). Too bad fabulous didn’t start with an x…
Brave, without a doubt, my love.
Love the new banner, too! We once sent very serious holiday cards that read “Merry F’ing Christmas” on the inside. Some people were not amused. But we were!
New banner rocks!
Wicked? Love it.
I’m off to look up zappy!
LOVE the new banner.
One day down sick and I opened to 101 posts in my reader.
My coping skills are lagging these days.
(I’m prone to griping right now. I better go.)
I am agape in admiration of your banner.
Your new banner is FANTASTIC!!! I love it!
Love the banner, love the list!
(X was tough, no?)
Yr blog mnakes my blog feel like a hobo.
Maybe when we get together we can discuss how I can get her some new clothes (among other things, of course).
A-Z delightful, as per usual.
I love tenacity, idealism, kookiness and a dash of wicked is always fun.
Man, I totally missed this tag! frick!
Will tackle it soon.
