Your Assignment...Should You Choose To Accept

Directions:
For you newbies it's never to late to jump in!! Here is what you must do. Choose a prompt that inspires you most. Write. Come back Thursday and paste your blog URL into the Mister Linky that will be up...this way anyone can click on your name and head over to your place to see what you wrote.

Feel free to write on more than one prompt if you so desire. I do it all the time (ok not really but I INTEND to). But it's my game...and I don't know how to shut-up...so it should be expected. And remember the more comment love you give, the more comment love you get so comment comment away.

The Prompts:

1.) Describe your latest obsession.

2.) Ask a loved one to use 6 descriptive words to describe you and report your findings. How well do they know you?

3.) Who was your first bloggy friend? How did you find each other? Do you still correspond?

4.) Tell us about your pet! If you have a weird infatuation with your dog or cat we want to hear about it (or if they just plain drive you crazy)...but please don't compare them to children. It's just not the same.

(Did any of you see that Housewives of Orange County when the workaholic type A Mom was talking to her daughter and asked her if she would be devastated if the mom died? The daughter was all, "I mean yeah, it would be hard...kind of like if I lost Chloe." And the mom was all "please tell me that losing me would be a little harder on you than if you lost your dog..." and the daughter was all "I'm just saying it would be really hard to lose Chloe, she's the closest thing I have to a child, so that would be hard." and the mom was all "I understand, just TELL me you are not comparing me to your DOG and that you would miss me more if I died!"

No? Didn't see that one? It was funny.)




Ahem.

Which one will YOU choose??

To be honest I could answer each of these in their very own posts.

We'll see what kind of time I have.

Here's my order:

Loved one description
Obsession
Bloggy Friend
Pet

I reserve the right to change my mind on that order.

Gwen said...

I'm in!!! Back to normal blogging!!! YAY!!!

Becky said...

Aw man... I could totally do a couple of these...poopy, I just don't have the time this week.

Look forward to reading yours though.

Ashley @ Frexy Mama said...

Yay! I'm so excited. My first WW on my new blog :)

Jo-Jo said...

Gosh when was the last time I was able to do an assignment?! I think I am going to do the obsession. Which one to choose?!

Candice said...

I'm somewhat obsessed with that show, and yes, I saw that episode. Vicky is neurotic but pretty funny.

My husband wants to ban me from watching the show. He says, and I quote, "It gives you more ideas for crap you all of the sudden need purchase."

Michelle said...

Can I write about being obsessed with my pets?

Oh and pets are so not the same as children. If they were I wouldn't have to think of what to make for dinner each night......just scoop up four bowls of kibble not two!

Kelly said...

I LOURVE O.C. Housewives. Vicky cracks my shit up...but I would die if she were my mom!

Vodka Mom said...

I LOVE number two!!!!

I just hope I can remember, damn it.

A Single Mom and A Teenaged Daughter said...

Hmmm, would it be too boring if I blog about my latest obsession with blogging??? lol...I am new and love it!

Momma said...

Great topics! I will do this tomorrow!

Merrie said...

I believe I will choose door #4 this week. But I like #1, too.

KatieSaysSo said...

I chose the pet one....but i may do a couple others....we shall see!!! =)

Elftea said...

These four sound good. can't wait.

The Odd Duck said...

Hmm I think this is one of the few times I could do all the topics. But for the sake of time, I think I'll stick with the loved one's descriptions.

kisatrtle said...

I'm still laughing about the recap from housewives. I'm going to see if I can watch this online. That is just too funny.

I'm in and I'm probably going to blog about my obsession...or maybe the love one's descriptions...

Kimmy said...

Wow, this might actually be the first time I do all 4 of them. Like you, we'll see what kind of time I have.

Oh, and no, didn't see that show. How horrible! That's just wrong of the daughter!! lol

Suzi said...

Can't wait, but bear with me I am new to this and have to experiment to get it on Mr. Linky. Any tutorials?

Kristin said...

I'm going with the obsession prompt, but just might ask someone some things about me too. Then that will become my new obsession. I'm obsessive like that.

SuZ said...

I can't choose!! Maybe I'll have a clue on Thursday...

Anyways, YES! I saw the Real Housewives... I can't stop watching that damn show.

Mrs. Buck said...

hahaha, yes, I saw that episode. so funny!

Lori said...

I already did # 1 - http://ourcircle.wordpress.com/2008/12/30/obsess-much/

Mandy Rose said...

I totally saw that episode! It was pretty funny! I love your blog by the way! I just found it through MomDot.

TattooedMinivanMom said...

Yep! I remember that episode. There is a marathon on right now. Just like there is EVERY.SINGLE.TUESDAY.

And every Tue I have it on in the background.

If I do your homework will you, I mean Pat, do mine?...homework, I mean.

Jen said...

Mmm, I pick.....

Diane said...

Hhhmmm, not quite sure yet....

Mama Wheaton said...

I think I will do the ask a loved one.

Jenners said...

I'm thinking maybe I should watch Housewives of Orange County. I don't know if I'm in or out this week but if I do it, I think I'll do the six words. Why not pick a fight with my husband? I know that is how it will end up. Or maybe my kid? That could be an interesting one. Hmmmmmmmmm....

Kristi said...

Has anyone seen the Housewives of Atlanta?? Those females are NUTS! If you haven't had the chance to watch it, keep an eye out and tivo it. Seriously crazy women.

Well, I don't have an obsession (that I will admit to) and I ADORE my parrot. So... I will write about Lolli the bird. :)

Laura said...

I think I will be doing number 2...who should I get to describe me??? hmmm...

Sarah said...

I pick #4, and maybe 3 too.

Rhonda said...

I'm so in on this one!!!

Michelle said...

Hmm. I almost forgot it was Tuesday. And I have to write a post tomorrow. At least I know what I'm doing Thursday!

Sera said...

Oooh, these are some really fun prompts. It's just craptastic that I have to WORK tomorrow so I won't have much time to work on them, dang it. We'll just see what I can get done. Thanks for some more great prompts, though!

Maki said...

I am going with #2 - and there is one guy to do the job! I hope he knows what to say. lol

CJ said...

#1 Blogging ---but that's all I have to say about it.
#2 I'm afraid to ask.
#3 Haven't been blogging long enough for this one.
#4 The Winner. I'll write about my second love - my cat.

Shanna said...

I'll be in on this one! See ya Thursday ;)

Debbie said...

Oh that six descriptive words one sounds ripe for the picking.
And I don't watch the Housewives but that encounter you described is too funny.

CaJoh said...

I decided I would do #4 and talk about our dog Spike:
http://cajoh.blogspot.com/2009/01/wordful-wednesday-spikester-diddly-dog.html… enjoy!

iris7531 said...

I thought Vicky was gonna die when Bri said that. That show is too funny.

Cat said...

Yes, I saw that one. I always take great pleasure in anything that makes Vickie uncomfortable. Vickie crying = happy happy joy joy.

Stu Pidasso said...

Count me in on the pet description. He is my best friend!!

Rachel said...

i wish i had time for "housewives" to be my new obsession. i love that show!

i am picking 6 words and am doing it whenever i can get the kid to sleep. sorry if it comes early or late!

Debbie Moyer said...

I'm so excited to get back into writing! Thanks for the prompts. I chose #1.

Sheri and George said...

I did watch the episode ofhousewives you talked about and it was soooo funny. I thought Vicky was gonna have a fit! I was rolling around laughing my ass off.

OK Fab Five said...

I wrote about my first bloggie friend. Thanks for letting me take the time to tell her what she means to me through this post.

Melissa said...

I'm a newbie follower thanks to gal-pal Julzy, but this is just what I was looking for as my blog tends to be a bit of a photo testimonial to how damn CUTE my family is! Anywho, I choose #2.

Abby*Lane said...

Love it :)

TuTu's Bliss said...

So hubby blew me off but at least it was with six words. My oldest daughter went "Usual Suspects" on me and gave me a list of objects within arms reach..SIGH. Maybe Friday will be my lucky day, third time's a charm.

Caramel Bella said...

Love the site. I'm not sure how I found it. I'm going to do the ask someone item.

warmly,
Caramel Bella

Paige said...

I have been trying to get my nerve up to join in these things forever, and now I am late, but I am going to do this one.
