OrganiSed Chaos

Annie did this meme.
Now, ordinarily I’m not into memes, but after a couple of happenings last year, one of my girls made a comment about them not really knowing me as a person as opposed to their mother, so when I spotted this I thought it was a good opportunity to perhaps get a little of me out there.
Now, when I say “me” I mean “me”. Not Anonymum, Moe, nothing but Maureen.
{that being said, the daughter in question had best be commenting!!}
That you guys get to learn a little as well is good too. But don’t be getting too used to the human side of me. I do have an image to uphold you know!
:wink:
Having said that, if there is anything else you want to know, you have but to ask. If I don’t want to answer, I’ll say so.
Righto, let’s get this show on the road shall we?

2. When was the last time you cried? Christmas day. For all the right reasons
3. What is your favourite lunch meat? Cold meat loaf

I’m not ordinarily into memes, however one that involves what this does is different, so I thought I’d give it a whirl.
I’ve seen it in several places around the traps, but it wasn’t until I got to Anja’s place that I decided to put my hand up.
Anja, in her wisdom, endowed upon me, the letter “R”, for which I’m not sure whether to thank her, or thump her??
The rules are:
You leave a comment on this post and I’ll assign you a letter. You write about ten things you love that begin with your assigned letter, and post it at your place. When people comment on your list, you give them a letter, and the chain continues on and on.

You DO NOT have to do the meme if you only want to comment. Tell me if you want to do it. Otherwise you will not be tagged.

So, now we’re off to the races.

1. Rhinocerous How can you NOT love an animal that so proudly displays their horn like this one??
2. Rain May sound strange coming from a sun lover like myself, but there is nothing better than the sound of rain on a tin roof. Living in a parched country such as I do, I’m well aware of the need for any type of water at all. It may as well be one I enjoy, yes?
3. Rabbits Preferably baked, with gravy
4. Rubies They say diamonds are a girls best friend? Not this one. I LOVE rubies
5. Roses When grown as they should be, there is nothing headier than the scent of a rose garden. I have a fondness for yellow ones should you decide to send me some
6. Rants Being bloggers, we all know the therapeutic benefits of a rant surely? Come to think of it, I haven’t had one for a while, so it must be nearly time
7. Romance Yes, as hard as it may to believe, I am a romantic at heart. Nothing pleases me more than for Mark to do something romantic for me {if it involved roses and rubies, I’m even happier}
8. Runes Yes I’m a rune stone lover. I have a set and use them regularly. Quite uncannily accurate more times than not
9. Reading I love to read books. In fact I read anything. Hell, I even enjoy junk mail. Yes, I do know I’m odd before you ask
10. Recipes I enjoy nothing more than trying out a new recipe, or creating from an old favourite. Anyone who knows anything about me wll tell you I love to cook and own more recipe books than a library almost

Now I know the rules say 10, but no list starting with the letter “R” would be complete without….reflection! Because without it, the ability to do memes such as these would be non existent wouldn’t it?
