The Queen's Meme

Welcome to WBLOG TV
The place where unbloggable news happens and sources are never a secret. You are the creator, producer, writer and news anchor of the WBLOG nightly news. It is your job to deliver the news in your own style from your own blog.
And oh, you get to make up the news! Here's your assignment:


1. The Weather Channel: Give me your personality forecast. Are you sunny, wet, windy, or cloudy? Why?




Well, first let me tell you that I have my own weather system! Yep, it can go from hot and humid to cold and clamey and at the speed of lightening in less that 60 seconds. Whew, I'm tired just thinking about it.

I told you it was a really big system...



2. The News Channel: What is the breaking news story of the day in your world?

The biggest news on the home front is that I lost two pounds. I just can't figure out why I keep loosing and gaining the same ten pounds.


3. The Economic Channel: How are things on the economic front? And more importantly, do you have ideas to save the planet from financial ruin?

The economic front reports all jobs are in tact and we are thankful for that.
Now, if we could just get our president channeling some energy and brain waves instead of talking about his "old lady blue jeans". Oh, Mr. President I need some cupcakes. Really is this newsworthy? Your ratings are slipping...Not to be disrespectful or anything. I am just saying.

This makes Bill look good and at least he came and he went and he garnered the reporters release.


4. The Entertainment Channel: Give us the latest blog celebrity gossip. Dish it!

I know I can find something to gossip about...
Let's see...
mmmmm...
My boss had her hair cut in a new style, or
Wait, I got it....

I am exercising and counting my steps. If I go 10,000 steps in a day, I will loose weight.
OMG...I have how many steps to go? 6,123 steps left.

5. The Sports Channel: Make up a sport, give your team a name and choose five players from the list of names on the Mr. Linky list. What are the rules of the game?

If I don't step it up with some better answers, I may be playing Dundgeon Dodgeball with Dawn.
My sport is blogbelly, which is really just belly dancing that is all jazzed up and you dance with scarves and everything.

My five players are as follows:

Dawn from Twisted Sister
Thom from Thoms Place 4 Well Whatever...
Me,Myself and I

Help me I can't stop twirling and I think I am going to be sick...

But at least I can count my steps on my pedometer.

Sorry Thom, but I did not know anyone else to add to my team, but I bet you will be a good sport about it and won't mind wearing the outfit.

6. The Comedy Channel: How will you make us laugh today? Tell us a blunny (that's blog + funny for all you non-blog speakers)

I'm sorry, but that channel does not come in clearly. Besides, I am terrible at telling jokes. Trust me on this one. So Garfield will have to help me out.



7. The Religious Channel: Make up a blog religion. Tell us why your blog church will save our souls.

The God channel is the only sure source to save souls. He is always available and never looses the connection.


8. (but who's counting?) The Soap Opera Channel: What is the name of your soap opera?

The Blogging Light. It never changes anything and is the same year after year.

The Culinary Meme

The Culinary Meme: The Meaning of Thyme and Other Deep Questions
Welcome back to the 3rd edition of The Queen's Meme with Mimi Queen of Memes. Each week the type of meme will change; sometimes silly, sometimes serious, but always fun! Enjoy your time in the castle.

And remember, don't end up in the dungeon.

The Queen's Meme No. 3 is called the Culinary Meme. Contrary to popular belief, the Queen has been known to accidentally cook something edible. Although I've given the gift of food poisoning to a boyfriend or two in the past, I actually made the food you see here. Don't ask me how because I could never do it again. I made up the recipe and lived to tell it. I'll bet there are some good cooks out in the blogosphere. Show us your saucy side. Flip a hot burger and smooch on a mushroom. Strap on a sweet little apron with 3-inch heels (please don't do this guys) and pre-heat to perfection. I'm getting hungry now. How 'bout you? I can't wait to read your savory concoctions.
Dinner is at eight.

The Cooking Meme

(What Is The Meaning of Thyme and Other Deep Questions)

1. If you could put thyme in a bottle, what is the first thing that you'd like to do?

If I could put Thyme in a bottle, the first thing I would is channel Jim Croce for more verses to this song so I would know the answer. Is anyone there? Can you hear me?

2. Do eggs really crack or do they merely have a nervous breakdown?

Maybe they crack up from the pressure of knowing that they may be cracked.

3. Why are you whipping the butter? What did it ever do to you?

Well, it needs to be very creamy for what I need it for. No offense, butter, you never did a thing to me.

4. Do your spoons spoon in the drawer? Have you ever noticed? And more importantly,if wooden spoons spoon, do they get splinters?

My spoons definitely spoon in the drawer. Now my plastic spoons are a mess.




My wooden spoons are smooth because they are well used and no they do not get splinters because they do not spoon.



My grandmother use to spank us with a wooden spoon. Ouch! Butt, the spoon was smooth. No pun intended!




5. You hear: "Dumpling, my Dumpling, come hither." The candles are lit, the fondue is dipping, the Godiva is pouring, the scallions are steaming and the music is playing.....but wait, the windows are open. Why did you close the window?

You see it's like this...I close the windows because the dumplings are spooning, and they are using the whipped butter and they are running out of time.





What are the scallions for? I thought we were having fondue and ooh la la!


6. Do you need a recipe to cook or are you a bohemian chef? Show us your reckless and wild side in the kitchen. Don't have one? Here's a recipe I made just for you: You will need a spatula, a whisk, a gallon of Chardonnay, a banana and a rump roast. What is the name of your dish?


OK, the chardonnay is for me to drink while I cook and by the time I drink it all, I won't likely care about the rest of the ingredients.



It is called "Splatttt yurrr.... whinnn and b....bb...ba...nnnnaaannnaaa....on a rump roast." Whatever this means? ZZZZZzzzzzzzz...Izzz donnnttt reeeleze kere no mo.



7. After dinner, the dishes are so dirty that the dishwasher refuses to wash them. What did they say to get in hot water?





My dishes got a little inebriated and things started to look dizzy, so they had to take a cool shower to sober up, or else they were gonna start dirty dancin.








8. Is your pot black?










My cast iron or my famous skillet that I burn everything in?


Wait a minute... is this a trick question?

9. What is the sexiest spice or condiment in your cabinet? What makes it so?

Old Spice...

Need I say more? Except he is sitting on the cabinet half nekked!

OR

Slap Your Momma because it spices up any dish with some really good flavor. It is similar to Tony's.

10. How much crock is really in your crock pot?

I have to tell you at this point of the meme, I am running out of answers. So I would say I have a lot of crock in my crock pot.

How much crock in a crock pot ? Now you try saying that three times....geeze

Thank you for playing the Queen's Meme this week.

The Queen's Meme

The Blog Outside The Box Meme This meme is all about using your imagination. Free your inner blogginess. Step outside the proverbial blox (that's blog + box for all you non-blog speakers). Answer these ridiculous situational questions and post them on your own blog. Here's the situation for today. We won't tell a soul. And remember:
Don't end up in the dungeon.


1. You are in court. You are in deep doo-doo. What did you do? Why I did not do anything? That's my story and I'm sticking to it. ('Cause if you want, I might could talk to the judge and get your sentence reduced to Bloggingham dungeon time.) I think I will decline any help from my queen besides I have heard terrible stories about the dungeon and MICE! Eehhhheeee!



2. Your blog just became a best-selling book . What is the title of your book ? Well, since it is my book, it would have to be called "I did it My Way"



3. It is midnight. The phone rings. It is Michael Jackson calling from the Great Beyond. What would you like to ask him? Not a thing because I am still channeling Elvis.



4. You are having your future told. The fortune teller looks in the crystal ball, screams and leaves the room in fright. What did they see? She saw my evil twin sister, Pamerala.


5. You're blogging along minding your own blusiness (that's blog + oh...you know) when Google unexpectedly puts a Objectionable Content Warning on your blog. Your own mother is afraid to enter! What, pray tell, did you do to warrant it?Like I said before, I am sticking to my story. I did not do anything. How did this happen? I don't know. What do you think a sweet gal like me could possibley do to get into this much trouble? Do you think you deserve it? No, of course I don't deserve this at all. Just how objectionable are you? Do tell. I object because I keep my life simple and clean.


6. You suddenly become God Of The Universe. What would your first Commandment be? Honestly, I doubt if I would ever be God of the Universe...I don't have enough muscles, but if I were...my first commandment would be to help those in need.


7. And finally, what secret would you like to tell the Queen? I fear for I have told a little fib about this meme. I could not let you down by telling the truth. I certainly hope you forgive moi?
Not to worry. What happens in Bloggingham, stays in Bloggingham.

Nature Meme

I am going to challenge myself and hopefully you to take a look at nature. What’s going on in your area? Is it spring in your part of the world or are you heading into cold weather. Take a little walk, look at something you might never had paid attention to..a flower…a plant..an animal…What changes are taking place?..Is your garden starting to come to life again?..Step outside and close your eyes. What do you hear? ….

FROM RAMBLLING WOODS:
"I am going to challenge myself and hopefully you to take a look at nature. What’s going on in your area? Is it spring in your part of the world or are you heading into cold weather. Take a little walk, look at something you might never had paid attention to..a flower…a plant..an animal…What changes are taking place?..Is your garden starting to come to life again?..Step outside and close your eyes. What do you hear?" ….

When I close my eyes and really listen, I can hear the fast sway of the trees as the wind blows them about and the leaves rustle. I hear birds and I smell the intoxicating Carolina Jasmine in bloom with the sweet promise of spring to come soon.

When I open my eyes, I see skies of blue that change quickly to grey as the rains come forward to entice the plants to spring forward. I see dogwood trees in bloom and iris starting to burst into color. I see Mother Nature coming alive after a deep winter's sleep. The ground begins to green up and slowly everything is awakening to a new day. I see the cardinal and his mate as they faten up for spring. Little bluebirds, sparrows, bluejays all waiting... waiting for Spring to come.

I see dewberry vines flowering in bloom that reminds me of cobbler that we will enjoy in May. I see a King snake that warns me to be on the look out for Copperheads and other snakes.

That Damn Cat has discovered catnip

























Thank you, sweet tiny baby Jesus who doesn’t possess
the motor necessary to grasp a pencil.


I never heard of Tim Tebow until today, but apparently he's a college football player best known for having "John 3:16" painted under his eyes during games and having a gf with gigantic fake boobs.

I have a lot on my plate this year as I become more interested in getting back into the proactive lifestyle.



If you haven't visited BJ Roan who writes on a blog she calls Serendipity, then I strongly encourage you to do so.

I have a serious thought for this blog, but first let's catch up.





Awhile back ago I touted about "Goose Island", but that soda is no longer at Target stores and I'm not able to find it.

I didn’t think I would have a photo as it has been mostly gray skies and we had another snow storm.
