Milk Breath and Margaritas (love that name!) tagged me with I think my choice of memes. She wrote a creative post combining several memes. I’m too lazy and not as creative as Amy so I chose the Middle Name Meme.
My middle is Ann. So unoriginal. My mom wanted my middle name to be Love after Get Christie Love which was her favorite show at the time but my dad wouldn’t have it. I wish my mom would have won that battle because Love is actually a cool middle name. I wish I had chosen it for one of my girls.
A is for accident. I was an unplanned pregnancy. My parents had to get married because my mom got knocked up with me.
N is for nearsighted. I am extremely nearsighted. I cannot see my hand in front of my face. My contact prescription is -5 for the right and -5.25 for the left. Not sure what that really means except that I have very poor eyesight. I call my contacts my “eyes” because I can’t see anything without them.
The other N is for naughty. No explanation needed.
I tag Amie from Mamma Loves and Nina from Can We Kick The Bar Here. (Another blogger that has a name that starts with N escapes me) I also give you girls a get out of meme jail free card if you hate memes. No obligation, my dear friends.
I’ve also been tagged by Amanda from All About The Green for the 7 Random Things About Me meme. I’m lazy and overwhelmed with holiday shit so I’m linking to a previous meme I’ve done; 7 Things You Never Knew You Wanted To Know About Me. Close enough. Tag yourself if you like. I’m too lazy.
Don’t forget to check out the purse I have on Ebay for charity.

Hey I also call my contacts my eyes because I can’t see my own bellybutton without them!
Love would have been a very hip middle name!

My toddler always asks me to “wear eyes” whenever I take off my glasses. I don’t know whether he is just too lazy to say eyeglasses or that he can’t pronounce it properly. Or perhaps, he has it figured out that my glasses are in fact my eyes!

Also severely nearsighted here. It appears that’s a common trait among bloggers. Who knew?
I don’t wear contacts, though, because my eyes are really sensitive and so I decided contacts were more trouble than they were worth. Besides, I like to imagine my glasses make me look smarter than I really am.

My 5-year-old is always asking me what my contacts are and I call them my eyeballs! (Also VERY nearsighted…ugh!)
I love the charitable idea you had for the purse. What a valuable lesson to teach!

I didn’t know you were nearsighted! My prescription is -4.75, so I’m close.
“Ann” IS pretty lame. I’ve got Eileen as one of mine. Blech. I wanted “Willow” for one of my girls but my guy wouldn’t have it.

That’s too funny…I got the 7 things meme and I was too lazy to tag anyone, either.

Mine is Ann too. At least it’s not Persephone or something. That’s a lot of facts!

ACK, my name is Charliane LOL! I thought about doing this meme until it said I had to name a blogger per letter.

-5 is pretty nearsighted. I used to be a -5, but went down to a -4 in one eye, and a -3.75 in the other. I haven’t read an eye chart without some form of corrective lenses in years.
