My Wordbead Meme trial

As I continue my quest to learn about meme so that I can make it a regular feature here, I came across Wordbead on the daily meme blog. It was listed as an option for memes along with others. I chose to try this one from the list because I am a crafts person. I spent many hours and dollars on beads and beads projects with my kids, so naturally, I was smitten by the prospect.

I just collected the word list for this week, Junne 21, and will atempt to "string them together" to form some beautiful, hopefully, pieces. The five words are underlined and linked to the dictionary. Please tell me what you think. Better yet join me!

The huge oak tree sits ominously behind the shed of the old house at the end of the lane.

You could sit quiet there for hours enjoying the breeze and the comfort of nature and no one would know and disturb you. Sitting under this oak tree, you will drift way into thoughts of wonders and estacy, staying preoccupied with thoughts and ambigious feelings for hours unend. These are the thoughts you would keep private or only share with your closest confidant because it may be seen as obscene . Afterall, these thoughts could leads to actions that can be responsible for the creation of complex organisms. We are all born as a result of quiet preoccupation of thoughts and actions that seems obscene but can be the beginning of a beautiful life.

What do you think? am I on the right track? Please comment!

My First 5 Questions Post

I've been on a quest to understand and participate in memes for awhile now and still haven't ventured into it. I am still looking to get a regular fun item to add to the oh hum drum blog. As I did my blog visits yesterday, I read one of my faves at some day I'll get there. She had a post "5 More Questions." This caught my eyes so I checked it out. She was responding to 5 questions she picked up from Extranjera . She offered to pass along 5 questions to anyone who asked. I am seeing this as a sort of meme and figured I'd give it a shot. Guess what? I asked AND as promised, she promptly sent them to me. I will therefore give it a shot! Thanks guys! Feel free to play along!

1. Describe your perfect day.
A bright sunny day in the back yard with plenty to eat and drink, lots of plants and flowers in bloom. Nothing to do, no one waiting for me to pick them up, drop them off or get involved with them and their needs. Me and myself and nature.

2. What made you start a blog?
I like to write and have had this desire to write, causally for a long time. This desire has been getting stronger and stronger recently but I don't quite have the time or resources. I hope some day I'll get there. I am also always commenting on things and making complaints in letters to the editor etc. My kids have this thing about me writing, so they limit their issues or caution each other, be careful or don't say that, "she's gonna write a letter!" I think that the blog could be a vehicle or means to both ends for now.

3. Who in your family knows about your blog, if no one, why?
Everyone! My computer is in an area of the room so that we can see what is going on. When I am at the computer, especially late in the night, it's the standard retort of the gang as to why I am still up, - she is writing her blog! My kids are really cute.

4. If you could break the law for one full day without consequences, what would you do?
This is a tough one. I am one of those people who always say and try very hard to stay on the "straight and narrow" so even though its a 'free pass' for a day, I'd be looking around and behind me a lot and feeling weird. That being said, I would probably erase all of the parking tickets that exists and park any place I found without regard.

5. What is your biggest regret?
Some unfinished business that is no longer a priority for me. I came home from my European escapade prematurely. I buckled and ran home before I completed my junket.
