O Slalom Meme O

I am dodging again; bobbing and weaving down the court. This can't be construed as a full fake because at some point I intend to do it.

Someday. Just not today.

This evasion I am speaking of is the ducking of tags for Memes which I have not yet bothered to reply to, nor justify with a response.

My thinking is that I will play one of the all about me games that get passed from blog to blog as soon as I run out of things to say . But I haven't done that yet and I actually don't know when I will. So I keep pushing them back and trying to crowd them out of my mind, replacing the nagging need to post something about me with a post about poop. Or something else.

I was really thinking that this was a simple cut and run.

But it struck me that I have a way around the bloggers guilt I am feeling. And that is this. I can link my taggers anyway. And I can encourage you readers to go read them, get to know them, give them some traffic. And thus assuage my shame.

It's a good move don't you think? Maybe I should have coached basketball.

Today, I will talk about the Three Taggers that I am delinquent on linking. And soon there will be a post with more linky love, as I discovered when I opened my email this morning that I had been tagged again. And again. And again.

But y'all have to wait your turn. Because today, I link you to:

Gunfighter, who writes The View From Here. He tagged me to play a spotlight game and I was honored, really honored, that my name showed up in a post of his. You see, he is witty, and wise; intelligent, and controversial. I love that about him. Oh, and he cooks too! His place is a daily (often more than once) stop for me. You should get to know him. And if you're so inclined, send him something to shoot. He'd like that.

Next, I want to introduce you to Csara. She writes at Baby Talkers. She is also the leader of the pack at the Friday Fifteen. Csara is a busy writer, wife and mom, and I would love it if you would stop over at her place and join in a discussion. She would love that too.

The Not Quite Crunchy Parent is the third link for today. In truth, I found this tag by accident when I was reading through the archives at her place. But the game, or meme rather, I was tagged for was a cute one so I thought I would play.

Someday. Not this day.

I love this blog, because so much of what gets said there is stuff I can really get my mind around, and my heart behind. It's a fun read.

And finally, I want to do something a little unconventional. Since this friend is a bit on the unconventional side, I figure this works. I want you to meet my friend Becca. Becca is someone I know in my offline life. She doesn't keep a blog, though she really should, and she has only recently discovered mine--being that I am not very good at "tooting my own horn"--but she dove into the fun of it headfirst. As proof of her humor, her candor, and her zest for life I direct you to the comment section of this post, and this one. She's just a lot of fun, and is a good friend to me. A very good friend. I intend to have her guest blog here sometime soon but any encouragement you want to give for her to open a page of her own and share her hilarious stories and experiences, I will receive in my inbox. You can post a comment here or send an email and I will pass those onto Becca.

That my friends, as they say, is that. Tag me and I'll link you. And someday, I will play the game you passed along.

I promise.
