So, I’ve been tagged, this time by Tracy Lynn, who is both hella cool and hella good with a flying spoon. This time? I have to tell you my rules. My rules for life. And come to think of it, it’s probably time you learned them. I think we’ll all be better off.
1. I did not ask your advice. Nope, not then. Not now. Not even that time. Learn from this statement. Keep it somewhere where it’s easy to get to every time you need it. Because I don’t want to repeat myself.
2. No one is impressed. I know you think they are, but they aren’t.
3. Smug kills.
4. Independent thought. It’s not just for academics any more.
5. Shut up and sing/act/whatever it is you get paid a lot of bones to do. That’s all we want to hear out of you.
6. Whatever it is that your child just said/did? I’ve probably heard it already. Chances are, I’m not going to laugh.
7. White Tea Wild Berry Sparklers from Whole Foods are the best. Drink. Ever. (Non-alcoholic, that is.)
8. Those of you that think you know everything are annoying those of us that actually do. (And no, I didn’t make this one up. I just adopted it. Just like #9…)
9. Some people are like Slinkies …
10. Don’t. Send. Me. Balloons.
10.5. Ever.
Ok. That should do for now. I really could go all day. Instead, it’s tag time. So here goes. Today? I’m anxious to see the rules as proscribed by Tiff, Paul, and Karen.

Dear Lord, sweet thing, how did I get mixed up in this? HA! I’ll think about my rules and write it out this evening. Your rules are winners. I like the attitude. And white tea drinks? Holy, moly. My current faves, too. Currently sipping an Arizona blueberry white tea as I type this.

Mmmm, White Tea Wildberry Sparklers sound delicious!!
And I particularly like number five…

Hey! I thought you loved me! What a way to show it
I have never, ever, done these things because, that is my first Rule in Life and Death, for that matter. If I can pull that off.
But, it IS you, the love of my life – did I tell you that yet?
Sooooo, I have to do it. Maybe.
Bum.

Rock ON with your bad self. I think that I shall immediately incorporate your rulesi into my rules, thus making MEGA RULES, MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Awesome.

[...] do, I now must do. A time to face my fears, defeat resistance and do what a friend,(?) Wordnerd, asks of me. Post, for all to see, my Rules of Life which are posted on my cave wall. Some [...]

Oh, see, and I have a dozen bright shiny balloons scattered throughout my house right this moment… I was just about to send them on down…

Smug kills? But it feels so good when I am right and you are wrong

Whoa, DUDE. My kid just learned how to jump and I totally bragged about it on my blog. Are you telling me that your own kids already know how to jump, too?
Crap. Next, you will be telling me they can already count to 6 and know their alphabet.
Damn you, Wordnerd for spoiling it for the rest of us. Can you give me primary colors?

Cagey, adorableness trumps Rulz any day of the week.
Sparky. Of course it feels good. Because it happens so rarely.

I think this rules would fit my lifestyle with little trouble.

HEY! #8 is MY RULE. You can’t just adopt it, can you?
September 25, 2007 at 9:47 am
I’m going to have to fistfight several others for #8 I see. Otherwise, what Tracy Lynn said, ditto!
