I was tagged for a meme by the lovely Shauna at The Coffee Stop. So here are the rules:

1. Grab the book you are currently reading and turn to p. 123

2. Go to the 5th sentence

3. Post the next 3 sentences

4. Tell the name of the book and author

5. Tag 5 others

So, here goes.....

"I don't get it," he says. "If this is all true, why didn't the kid tell the cops when the asked him where he was as the time of the murder? Why didn't he show then the sign-in log?"

This is a teeny tiny excerpt from the book Big Boned by Meg Cabot. I have never read one of her books but I was in Costco the the other day and it looked interesting, so I bought it.



Hmmm.....now, I tag Sharon, Karollynn, and anyone else who would like to participate!

Meme Time!

What are your top five favorite television shows when you were a kid?

1. I Love Lucy
2. The Andy Griffith Show
3. The Dukes of Hazzard
4. The Cosby Show
5. Happy Days

I have many happy memories of watching A&E in the evenings. They had all kinds of classic television shows on at night. I was a fan then and I am a fan now of I Love Lucy. I watch it whenever I get the chance. The Andy Griffith show is also still a favorite. My favorite character is Barney Fife followed closely by Gomer Pyle! That is very telling - I know.

I don't think anyone of my generation did not watch watch Happy Days and The Dukes of Hazzard. John Schneider was my first real crush. Who among us did not wear a pair of Daisy Dukes at least once in our life? I have fond memories of riding our bikes pretending to be the Dukes or Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane. I am sure my sister Julie will be on here telling you all sorts of untrue stories on me about this era in my life.

The Cosby show - we all loved. I wanted to be Bill Cosby's daughter so very badly. A Dad, totally plugged into the lives of his kids, and active and caring parent who had a sense of justice and humor. We should all be so lucky.

I tag Karolynn, Sharon and Devonna for this meme next!

Rules: List your favorite 5 television shows from your childhood, name three more bloggers to do this meme, copy/paste these very short and sweet rules, and then leave said bloggers a comment letting them know you have tagged them!

Middle Name Meme
Jen at Jenster's Musings tagged me for the Middle Name Meme. Here are 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 your 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. Choose a person for each letter of your middle name to tag to do a meme and don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they have been tagged!

My middle name is Carol.

C: Carrots are one of my least favorite veggies but I eat them anyway. Good example and all that.

A: Absolutely, under no circumstances, will I drive a car if I have had even one drink. Ever.

R: Red is my favorite color!

O: Open milk cartons in the fridge are a pet peeve of mine.

L: Love for God and my family is what keeps me going!

Ok - now I tag April at For My Good and His Glory, Sharon at The Darcy Saga, and Dev at Good Reads assuming you all have not done this yet.
