So, I received an email from Fred Chamberlin this morning telling me to check out his blog because I was in it.  Great! I thought.  Fred probably wants to tell everyone what a terrific mortgage broker I am and that everyone should send all of their business to me.  But alas, it was not the endorsement I was looking for but rather notice that I had been tagged for this MeMe.

This was my first MeMe but I didn't think it looked too difficult.  No tough personal questions only these simple rules:

1. Grab the nearest book.

2. Open the book to page 56.

3. Find the fifth sentence.

4. Post the text of the next two to five sentences.

5. Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book or the intellectual one. Pick the Closest.

6. Tag five people to do the same

*The one book that this can not be is the Bible*

Seems, easy.  However, due to being extremely busy, my reading selections lately have been reduced to Curious George and Dora the Explorer bedtimes stories.  I wanted to follow the rules exactly but the closest book to me was One Fifth Avenue, by the author of Sex and the City.  I didn't start reading it yet, but having read other books by the author, I was worried that page 56, might contain some inappropriate dialogue that I'd rather not post here. 

I decided to bend the rules a bit and look for a second book, and grabbing the only other non chick-lit and unread book in sight, It All Began With Wilt, I was disappointed to find that page 56 contained only a photograph.  That's what I get for cheating!

So back to the original book:

"Apparently , all the other wives have them.  So you'll fit in, he said.  And noting her expression, added, "If you want to."

"We don't fit in," she said.  "That's why people love us."

Since I previously wrote a post about not wanting to fit in, I thought this selection was fitting.

I will be nice and tag only 3 people:

Maryellen Garasky - who is a big Dora the Explorer fan herself.

Jeannie Kontis - who was nice enough to help me figure out how to reformat my blog into the smaller format making it easier to read.

and

The Somers -  because they never seem to fail to read and comment on my blog so I won't have to send them a surprise email like Fred sent me.
