In Loving Memory of My Father

November 26, 1933 - October 27, 2009
I was with him this morning when he passed away. I am grateful for the time we had, the lessons we learned and the grace that always follows great love.

Thank you for your prayers and all the many acts of kindness shown to me throughout his illness.

Love to all of you - Mimi

**My Daddy Is Gone**

The Queen's Meme ~ Bloggingham Blues

Hello to my meme players on the Queen's Meme,

While I am dealing with my dad's illness and all that goes with it emotionally and otherwise, as well as attempting to attend to peace globes for the November 5th launch, I will not have a round of questions this week. Thank you for understanding.

As soon as my personal life settles down a bit and I can focus on the frivolous blogging that I so love to do, I will return with this meme.

If any of you would like to guest blog for me (any takers??!) and write a set of 7 questions, please send them to me via email. I'll post 'em with a link back to you and we'll go on as usual until I return.

That might be very interesting indeed.

I miss you all and will see you soon.

Mimi

P.S. You do have your peace globes, right? There's always the dungeon....

The Queen's Meme #12 ~ The Crazy Hospital Meme

Welcome to The Queen's Meme #12.
A Tuesday meme
Sometimes silly. Sometimes serious. Always fun!
Step out of the box. Be creative. Use your imagination.
No one's answers are quite like yours.

And please, stay out of the dungeon.
You don't want to go there.

My dad is in the hospital this week. I have nice, neat, clean Institutions on my brain.

Ergo, you get The Crazy Hospital Meme. Let's get institutionalized, shall we?

The Crazy Hospital Meme

1. What is the strangest thing that has ever happened to you in a hospital (besides your illness)? Not enough towels? No condiments? Can't get your favorite channels? Come on, you can tell me. **Or....maybe this answer doesn't involve you being the patient.**

2. If you had your choice of IV cocktails, what would you choose?

3. Tell us your funniest hospital story.

4. Do you have any hospital phobias?

5. Imagine you are in bed trying to get some sleep after a long night of interruptions by the nurse on duty who would NOT stop waking you up to see if you were asleep...It is 3am. You finally get to sleep. She comes in at 3:15 and wakes you up again. What happens next?

6. You are stuck in the elevator with an attractive person of the opposite sex. You notice there is no wedding band. Do you strike up a conversation? If so, what is the first thing you would say?

7. A very odd patient wanders into your room from the upstairs psychiatric ward. What do you do?

The Queen's Tuesday Meme #11 ~ The Loud and Raucous Poetry Meme (Not)

Welcome to The Queen's Meme #11.
A Tuesday meme
Sometimes silly. Sometimes serious. Always fun!
Step out of the box. Be creative. Use your imagination.
No one's answers are quite like yours.

And please, stay out of the dungeon.
You don't want to go there.

This week the questions are sheer poetry. Nonsensical. Cerebral. Challenging. The answers should be too.
I have given you seven familiar limericks. Your job is to change them by filling in the blanks. Here's an example of a limerick.


There was an Old Man in a tree,
Who was horribly bored by a Bee;
When they said, 'Does it buzz?'
He replied, 'Yes, it does!'
'It's a regular brute of a Bee!'


Lines 1, 2 & 5 rhyme. Lines 3 & 4 rhyme. You can use more than one word to fill the blank but the end words must rhyme appropriately. Now fill in the blanks with the limericks I've given you. Don't think about them too much. Usually the first word that pops in your head can be used to make a very funny poem. Try it!

1.There was an Old Man of ______,
Who lived upon ____________;
When that did not ______,
He took __________,
That nasty Old Man of _______.

2. There was a Young Lady whose _____,
Were unique as to color and___________;
When she opened them ______,
People all turned _______,
And started away in _________

3. There was a Young Lady of ______,
Who casually sat on a ________;
When the door squeezed her ______,
She exclaimed, '________?'
This courageous Young Lady of ________.

4.There was an Old Man with a _____,
Who bumped at it ________;
But they called out, '______!
You're a horrid old _____!'
So they smashed that Old Man with a ______.


5. There was a Young Lady whose ______,
Came untied when the birds sate _______;
But she said: 'I don't care!
All the birds in the ______
Are welcome to sit on my _______!'


6. There was an Old Man of ______,
Who never knew what he should _____;
So he tore off his _____,
And behaved like a ______,
That intrinsic Old Man of _____.

7. There was an Old Man of _______,
Who had the most curious ________;
For while he was ______,
He slept on a _______.
That funny Old Man of _______.

Hat tip: Edward Lear
Original limericks are HERE. Don't peek 'til you've finished or it's you-know-where for the likes of you.

If I were you, I'd do the meme.

The Queen's Meme #10 ~ The Tick-Tock Meme

Welcome to The Queen's Meme #10.
A Tuesday meme posted early this week

Sometimes silly. Sometimes serious. Always fun!

Step out of the box. Be creative. Use your imagination. No one's answers are quite like yours.

And please, stay out of the dungeon.
You don't want to go there.

The Tick-Tock Meme

1. Are you a Rolex watch, a Mickey Mouse watch, or a pocket watch?

2. Can you think of a time when you couldn't see the forest for the trees?

3. Can you think of a time when you were on the outside looking in?
What did you see?

4. Go back in time. Maybe a long time ago, maybe today. Pick an hour you'd like to freeze frame forever and tell us why. It doesn't have to be THE most important hour of your life, but make it a good one.

5. If you were a cuckoo clock, what would others say about you?

6. Can you think of a time when time stood still?

7. Watch this! You are a stopwatch. What would you stop?

8. Imagine you were just born and have infinite wisdom. After the doctor smacks your newborn dust ruffle you look around and say to the Universe: "Give me a whole lifetime to do "this" and I will bless the day I was born."
What did you choose?




If I were you, I'd do the meme.

The Queen's Meme No. 9 ~ The W Meme

The Queen's Tuesday Meme #8 ~ The Bloggingham Love Shack

Warning: Hide the children!

There are love shenanigans in the dungeon.


Welcome to The Queen's Meme #8.
Step out of the box. Be creative. Have fun!

And please, stay out of the dungeon.

I've tried to avoid this subject. It is the fickle fodder of many a meme these days. Romance, s*x, relationships and breakups are really nobody's business. Wouldn't you say? Or perhaps it's the questions that are too personal and a bit juvenile at times. Middle school smooching is not exactly the end all and be all of civilization. (Is it? I don't know. I seem to have forgotten.) To tell you the truth, I'm getting just a little sick of all the love shenanigans going on in the dungeon down below. I can hear you. You are all just a wee bit too happy if you ask me. If I didn't know better I'd swear you want to stay!
But seriously, we could all use a little lot of romance in our lives. I promise not to ask questions that would make your mother blush. I suggest you tell her not to read your blog tomorrow.


Bloggingham Love Shack (aka The Romance Meme)
1. What is the craziest thing you've ever done in the name of love?

2. How much mystery should there be in a relationship? Is it a good thing or not?
3. Is there someone in the blogosphere you'd like to get to know more intimately? Have you been too shy to ask? Let me help you. Write a 3 sentence anonymous blove letter to them in this meme.
Leave a link if you dare. (I promise not to tell!)
"Dear Blogger, I've been meaning to tell you for the longest time that I ___________etc etc"
Or if you wish, do some matchmaking instead. "Dear Blogger #1 and Blogger #2, I think you would be perfect for each other. This is why..."
4. Describe a "perfect evening" with the one you love.

5. If you are in a relationship, describe the one thing that makes it work well for you. If you are not in a relationship, do you want to be? If so, what type of romance are you looking for? What would it look like in your life?
6. If you had to choose between having good s*x (I told you not to let your mother read this) OR intelligent conversation on a regular basis, which would you choose and why?

and finally.....a purely selfish question:

7. I've got the Bloggingham Blues. What type of man is right for Queen Mimi Pencil Skirt? Do any of you see love in her foreseeable future? What do you suggest I do to spice up my love life? What am I doing wrong????!

How To Stay Out Of The Dungeon


Once upon a time in a faraway Bloggiverse there lived a maiden named Queen Mimi Pencil Skirt. She slayed her own dragons, stoked her own fire and well.....wrote memes by the light of the Bloggingham moon. One day a kind blogger from England noticed her meme lovin' ways and royally crowned her Mimi Queen of Memes. As time passed in the peaceful kingdom of Bloggingham, her Royal Highness found comfort in the company of fellow bloggers who also loved memes. But the Queen had a wicked disposition too. It is widely reported in historical Blogosphere archives that any and all bloggers found guilty of not completing their memes were promptly thrown into the dreaded Bloggingham dungeon.

The Queen's Meme #5 ~ The Woodstock Meme ~ I Dig It!

Welcome back to The Queen's Meme. Each week the type of meme will change; sometimes silly, sometimes serious, but always fun!

This meme is all about using your imagination. Free your inner blogginess. Step outside the proverbial blox (that's blog + box for all you non-blog speakers). Answer these ridiculous situational questions and post them on your own blog. Here's the situation for today. We won't tell a soul. And remember:
Don't end up in the dungeon.

The Woodstock Meme

Forty years ago this week, three days of peace, love and rock 'n roll (and mud) happened near Bethel, New York. It was the Summer of 1969.
Attire: Hippie jeans. Long hair. Legal or illegal smoke. Psychedelic vibe.

The scene: You are at Woodstock. You go alone but meet up with a beautiful man/woman. You spend three days together.
Put yourself inside the peace & love vibe. You can choose to be stoned or straight. I put it in the story for the sake of reality. Just don't inhale in this meme.

This is the conversation you have upon meeting or you can make it into what you overhear others say.

It makes no sense and has no continuity by design.

You must fill in the familiar blanks to finish the story. Some are song lyrics. You may use more than one word to fill in the blanks.

Oh! I forgot to tell you (must be the smoke in here) You have a new name. It must a combination of the first letter of your first name, the third letter of your middle name and the last letter of your last name.
Peace out! Somebody might wanna turn on a fan in here.

1. "Hello, my groovy name is _____.

By the looks of those flowers in your hair, you must be_____ .

Didn't they tell you? No _____ allowed!

2. Come on, Baby, light my _____ .

When I lay me down to _____ I pray the_____ my _____ to keep.

If I _____ before I wake, I pray the _____ my _____ to take.

**puff puff**

3. Because the first time ever I saw your _____ I realized that what the world needs now is _____ sweet _____. Besides, I always feel guilty watching you _____ when I should be _____.

But I dig it!

4. Have I told you lately that I _____ you? Hey! Don't step on that _____ !!

Dude. That guy is really weird but.....

5. There's a party in my sleeping bag and half a million of my _____ friends are coming over tonight and we're gonna _____ my baby off my mind. Darn the luck. It's raining _____ (s) and _____ (s)

Luckily, Papa was a rolling _____ and I'm on a first name basis with the cops.

**puff puff**

6. I'm really digging your _____ but that _____ has got to go. Those flowers in your hair are beginning to smell like _____.

Have I told you lately that I _____ you?

** puff puff**

7. I'm beginning to see _____ in those trees over there. Do you see it?

Out of all the millions of hippies here, you are the most _____.

But I dig it, man.

**puff puff**

8. I'd use all my blood, sweat and _____ just to get next to your _____.

Love is free but I'd really like to buy that guy's _____.

It says "Make _____ not _____. " Far out!

9. I'm grateful to be _____ 'cause there's a bad _____rising in Jefferson's Airplane. But that's okay, 'cause Joe Cocker said I could get by with a little _____ from my friends.

10. Oh, by the way, your _____ is on fire. But I dig it.

Don't end up in the dungeon.

WBLOG TV: The Meme

The place where unbloggable news happens and sources are never a secret. You are the creator, producer, writer and news anchor of the WBLOG nightly news. It is your job to deliver the news in your own style from your own blog.

And oh, you get to make up the news! Here's your assignment:

2. The News Channel: What is the breaking news story of the day in your world?

The Culinary Meme: The Meaning of Thyme and Other Deep Questions

Welcome back to the 3rd edition of The Queen's Meme with Mimi Queen of Memes. Each week the type of meme will change; sometimes silly, sometimes serious, but always fun! Enjoy your time in the castle.


And remember, don't end up in the dungeon.

The Queen's Meme No. 3 is called the Culinary Meme. Contrary to popular belief, the Queen has been known to accidentally cook something edible. Although I've given the gift of food poisoning to a boyfriend or two in the past, I actually made the food you see here. Don't ask me how because I could never do it again. I made up the recipe and lived to tell it. I'll bet there are some good cooks out in the blogosphere. Show us your saucy side. Flip a hot burger and smooch on a mushroom. Strap on a sweet little apron with 3-inch heels (please don't do this guys) and pre-heat to perfection. I'm getting hungry now. How 'bout you? I can't wait to read your savory concoctions.

Dinner is at eight.


The Cooking Meme (What Is The Meaning of Thyme and Other Deep Questions)

1. If you could put thyme in a bottle, what is the first thing that you'd like to do?

2. Do eggs really crack or do they merely have a nervous breakdown?

3. Why are you whipping the butter? What did it ever do to you?

4. Do your spoons spoon in the drawer? Have you ever noticed? And more importantly, if wooden spoons spoon do they get splinters?

5. You hear: "Dumpling, my Dumpling, come hither." The candles are lit, the fondue is dipping, the Godiva is pouring, the scallions are steaming and the music is playing.....but wait, the windows are open.
Why did you close them?

6. Do you need a recipe to cook or are you a bohemian chef? Show us your reckless and wild side in the kitchen. Don't have one? Here's a recipe I made just for you: You will need a spatula, a whisk, a gallon of Chardonnay, a banana and a rump roast. What is the name of your dish?

7. After dinner, the dishes are so dirty that the dishwasher refuses to wash them.
What did they say to get in hot water?

8. Is your pot black?

9. What is the sexiest spice or condiment in your cabinet? What makes it so?

10. How much crock is really in your crock pot?

The Mission Impossible Meme

Lift off!


1. You are a guest on the space shuttle. You just arrived on the moon and realize you forgot something back home that you can't live without. What is it and how do you convince them to go back and fetch it?



2. Pretend you are a teacher in a rough public school for one day. You have been assigned to teach Manners 101. You have the "challenging bad butt kids" class (remember this is a pretend school and anyway I can't say ass on my blog 'cause it's so unQueenly and I might get fined or something).
They are jumping up and down, cursing, and throwing things at you.

What is the first thing you would write on the board?

3. Someone in your family or a friend has started a blog. They think it is anonymous but you have figured it out. They are saying derogatory things about you. Do you tell them or do you read it for awhile?
How would you handle it?

4. If you had one dollar left in your pocket, what would you spend it on?

5. President Obama and the First Lady are coming over for dinner. What do you serve?

6. You walk in on your lover. They are trying on your clothes. What do you do?

7. Every astronaut must have shots! Choose your vaccination: You only get one and you can't enjoy any of the attributes of the other choices. You choose either: (1) The fountain of eternal youth and sexual vigor but only for 10 years (2) perfect health for a lifetime (3) eternal mind-numbing nirvana and peace of mind (4) unlimited hedonism for one year with no negative consequences.

This is your mission should you choose to accept it. And remember, don't end up in the dungeon.

Thank you for playing the Queen's Meme this
week. My latest post: The Mysterious Lady In The Closet of Hats

Please leave a comment and sign the Mr. Linky when you have posted. Go visit your fellow memers and have a great time! See you next Tuesday!

The Royal Blible

Note: Tuesday's meme will be posted Monday afternoon. Meanwhile....

That's Blog + Bible for all you non-blog speakers.

Last week we launched a new Tuesday meme in the blogosphere called The Queen's Meme. The response was wonderful! It was a virgin flight full of surprises. I found many new comedians and made new friends. You are quite creative and colorful you know!
So in honor of our first meme together and your good-natured tolerance of my dungeon threats (some of you are still in there maybe probably not you'll get out tomorrow), I've put together a little souvenir to commemorate our accomplishment.

Question #6 in the Blog Outside The Box Meme was "You suddenly become God of The Universe. What would your first Commandment be?" The answers were fantastic! I thought we should have our own Royal Commandment Book. It's only right. And Bloly (that's Blog + oh never mind..)
As I re-read these it was amazing just how representative your Commandments were of your unique blog personalities. Reading them in order, one after another, is a riot. Enjoy! And just think, we have our own set of Royal Commandments! I had to use my royal magic bleeper on a few of these to get past the Google police, nevertheless, here they are in the order they descended upon the Bluniverse. Bless you my child.

The Queen's Meme ~ Blog Outside The Box (Updated!)

Welcome to our first edition of The Queen's Meme. It's exciting to start a fresh new meme in the blogosphere. I hope you enjoy our "live" launch and come back to play again. The question format and subject will vary. Each week the type of meme will change; sometimes silly, sometimes serious, but always fun! If you'd like to be linked here as a member of the royal family, just leave a comment and of course, please link back to us. Feel free to grab a badge from the sidebar for your own blog or copy and link the image you see here. Now let's get started!


The Blog Outside The Box Meme
This meme is all about using your imagination. Free your inner blogginess. Step outside the proverbial blox (that's blog + box for all you non-blog speakers). Answer these ridiculous situational questions and post them on your own blog. Here's the situation for today. We won't tell a soul. And remember:

Don't end up in the dungeon.

1. You are in court. You are in deep doo-doo. What did you do? ('Cause if you want, I might could talk to the judge and get your sentence reduced to Bloggingham dungeon time.)

2. Your blog just became a best-selling book . What is the title of your book ?

3. It is midnight. The phone rings. It is Michael Jackson calling from the Great Beyond.
What would you like to ask him?

4. You are having your future told. The fortune teller looks in the crystal ball, screams and leaves the room in fright. What did they see?

5. You're blogging along minding your own blusiness (that's blog + oh...you know) when Google unexpectedly puts a Objectionable Content Warning on your blog. Your own mother is afraid to enter! What, pray tell, did you do to warrant it? How did this happen? Do you think you deserve it? Just how objectionable are you? Do tell.

6. You suddenly become God Of The Universe. What would your first Commandment be?

7. And finally, what secret would you like to tell the Queen?

Not to worry. What happens in Bloggingham, stays in Bloggingham.

How To Stay Out Of The Dungeon

Once upon a time in a faraway Bloggiverse there lived a maiden named Queen Mimi Pencil Skirt. She slayed her own dragons, stoked her own fire and well.....wrote memes by the light of the Bloggingham moon. One day a kind blogger from England noticed her meme lovin' ways and royally crowned her Mimi Queen of Memes. As time passed in the peaceful kingdom of Bloggingham, her Royal Highness found comfort in the company of fellow bloggers who also loved memes. But the Queen had a wicked disposition too. It is widely reported in historical Blogosphere archives that any and all bloggers found guilty of not completing their memes were promptly thrown into the dreaded Bloggingham dungeon.

If I were you, I'd do the meme.

Thank you for playing the Queen's Meme this
week. Please leave a comment and sign the Mr. Linky when you have posted. Go visit your
fellow memers and have a great time! See you next Tuesday!

The Queen's Meme ~ Beginning July 14, 2009

Once upon a time in a faraway Bloggiverse there lived a maiden named Queen Mimi Pencil Skirt. She slayed her own dragons, stoked her own fire and well.....wrote memes by the light of the Bloggingham moon. One day a kind blogger from England noticed her meme lovin' ways and royally crowned her Mimi Queen of Memes.

Every Tuesday she'll give you seven questions. Take them back to your own blog and answer them. Sign your name below and visit other memers. You are hereby commanded by the Queen to answer all the questions. Just remember... there's always the dungeon.

I'll be back on July 14th with our first meme!
