Friday Fun: Tag You're It!
12/15/2006
Friday Fun is Diva Marketing's virtual happy hour from cosmos to Jack to lemonade. A waiting for the weekend 'playground' time to be sophisticated-silly. Or sometimes just plain silly.
It's been a crazed week with minimum access to the old internet and more airports than I would like to see in the course of days. More on the Healthcare Summit (very well received) and the DC Bloggers Wonk (a blast!) later .. promise.
Today is Friday Fun so let's play a little virtual "tag" or as bloggers like to call it a meme. These silly, fun games serve a larger purpose in the virtual world. They help build community and give us an excuse to get to know each other a bit better.
This week I was 'memed' twice .. by Shel Israel, Naked Conversations, and Nedra Weinreich, Spare Change, on the latest to make the rounds. This go round the game is What 5 Things You Don't Know About Me. Here goes .. a few silly things about moi.
Update Jan 9 -07: Thanks Chris Brown, Branding & Marketing, for the tag on this one too. Guess this game keeps going round.
1. I love musical comedies, Doris Day movies and yes, Christmas songs .. anyone for "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire ... ?"
2. It took me almost a week to decide to keep little Maxie, who was the best gift from a client I ever received; now I don't know what I'd do without him .. anyone for "a little puppy love?"
3. Grocery shopping is a fun activity .. I'll go extra miles to find a cool store. Trader Joe's opening in Atlanta was cause for celebration .. anyone for "$3 buck chuck wine" (due to distribution regulations (read: politics an extra buck is added to Atlanta's cheap wine?"
4. I toured the Greek Isles for free on a windjammer cruise .. anyone for "a little Retsina?"
5. Mystery and espionage novels are my traveling buddies .. anyone for "a Robert Parker - Spencer novel?"
Tag you are it! For Shel - Jane Genova, Carol Krishner, Wayne Hurlbet, Paul Chaney, Marianne Richmond and for Nedra - Sonya Neblett, Rajesh, Tish Grier, Peggy Payne, Fard Johmar
Update: Thanks for the tag Miss Moxie! And here's what you may not know about Max <wink>

HAPPY HANUKKHA. Sat. 12/16
Today Mercury squares Uranus. Your mind may become very scattered. You may find yourself nervous or anxious. This isn’t a good day for making any major business decisions or talking with important clients. You will likely decide to act on impulse then change your mind. Many ideas may pop into your head and then pop out just as quickly. Jot all the ideas down. Sort through your list next week and implement the best ideas at the New Moon Wed. 12/20.
The Sun enters the ruling sign of business – Capricorn – as we begin the first day of winter at the Winter Solstice Thurs. 12/21. This is good for any restructuring you may need to do.
