The Starbucker Meme!

I have been Memed from PetLvr, who asks:

1) How full is your glass?
2) What kind of glass is it?
3) What’s in the glass?
4) Reasons for #1, #2, and #3

I admit, I am a slave to the large capitalist evil known as Starbucks. Did you know they actually have a Starbucks inside the Forbidden City in Beijing?!?!?

Well my glass is always full on account of me buying venti lattes which take me a while to drink. I get gingerbread lattes, a seasonal drink which Starbucks typically only does around Christmas but the cafe I go to still has ingredients left (Thank God for preservatives!)

If you are a Starbucks lover, consider yourself memed and pass it on!

Meme: My Life’s Goals

Tagged again! This time by domestika.

I’m not very good at this 'life goal' stuff. Some people make long lists of life goals, hell there are even whole books on the topic. Really I am a simple girl with only one goal: Happiness.

What makes my happy changes from day to day, so every day is different but I am happy most days. Today I am happy because I am wearing the red sparkly shoes my husband bought me:)

If you would like to participate in this meme, consider yourself tagged and leave me a comment to tell me where I can find yours!

Meme: Why do you blog?

I’ve been memed by Greg Laden, who asked, “Why do you blog?”

Well, this blog is a recent endeavor (I started about a month ago) and my original intention was for it to be a place where I could ramble on about natural history, biodiversity and neat things I learned at school. But in the mean time I have become acquainted with the blogosphere, picked up a few regular readers and enjoyed interacting with fellow bloggers. I really like writing posts and I hope you will continue to enjoy reading them!

If you’re a blogger reading this, pass on the meme and leave me a comment to tell me where I can find yours:)

10 (Actually 7) Weird Things About Me

I don't usually do Memes*, but this one is being circulated around right now and the answers have been always entertaining, sometimes revealing and occasionally downright hilarious. My list is 7 because I guess one weird thing about me is that I don’t have a very long attention span and I’m afraid that if you read 10 you’d never come back to this blog!

1) I love Kraft Dinner.

2) I hate organization, routine and structure. But I hate wire hangers more and my closets (one for casuals and one for formal) is the only organized part of my life. All of the hangers are the same, the clothes are all oriented in the same direction and are ordered by colour and then in the case of tops, by sleeve length. I am so obsessive about hangers that my husband is afraid I will turn into Joan Crawford (as portrayed by Faye Dunaway) in Mommie Dearest.

3) There are certain foods I only like on their own but can’t stand in anything: coconuts, pineapples, bananas, almonds, oranges, cherries.

4) I swear the best Chinese food in the world is in India. I know it sounds weird but ask anyone who’s ever had it!

5) I still keep up with the American soap opera General Hospital even though I now live on a different continent.

6) A friend recently pointed out that I have a habit of buying frames and hanging them up but never put pictures in. I realize now that I have empty frames in my living room, hall, guest bedroom and even my office.

7) All of my plants are named George

*A little trivia: Meme is a term that was coined by Richard Dawkins in 1976 to refer to a piece of cultural information that is easily propagated between individuals.
