What happened to surfing in anonymity? I’ve been Meme’d.

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Crye-Leike, Realtors

Well, I could continue to be the anonymous Crye-Leike Blogger or I could participate in Meme and share 5 things that you don't know about me. Well, decision made. Here I go...

  1. All the Places I've Lived: I was born in Tacoma, Washington. I've also lived in Logan, Orem and Salt Lake City, Utah (several places). I lived in Simsbury, CT for 10 years. I lived in Des Moines, Iowa for 1 1/2 years. I've lived in Memphis, TN 2 times. First time for 3 years and now the 2nd time for 8 years.
     
  2. my pictureAll the Places Family Live: Between me and my husband we have family living in the following locations (only counting parents, brothers, grandparents, aunts/uncles): Memphis, Salt Lake City, Virginia Beach, Phoenix, Omaha, Dallas, Cleveland, Amarillo, The Netherlands, Australia, Los Angeles, (1st cousins also in Seattle, Grand Rapids, Baton Rouge, and Illinois)
     
  3. My Work Life: I started working in the Information Technology Department at Crye-Leike in January of 2000. I work on a variety of projects from web development to training. When I was younger there was a period of time that I worked as an Electrologist. Talk about a career change.
     
  4. What Else is going on in My Life Right Now: I am married and have a wonderful two year old monster. I started taking horse back riding lessons earlier in the year. I cantered for the first time last weekend. I have also been working on finishing my Bachelor's degree and will finally have it completed in a couple of months.
     
  5. What Does the Crye-Leike Blogger Really Look Like? I think only agents have portraits of themselves ready at a moment's notice. Since I didn't have a photo when I joined I just created the Crye-Leike Blogger graphic. So I included a real picture of me - the one time I'll show it. :)

All About Meme - What is a Meme?

What's Next? Tag You're It.

Part of a meme is to tag the next set of people. I choose three people who have not been chosen for a meme yet. Each person should write a meme with five things about themselves and then tag three more people who have not been meme'd before. Then include a link to your meme on my meme post and on the complete alphabetical listing post. Hypothetically you should be able to start at the first ever meme and follow the links through each post to the most current one. Who has the time to surf all the meme's is another question!

Here's my selection of three people who have not been meme'd. I am going to see if they would like to share five things and then tag the next group.

  1. Christopher Smith -  wrote one of the first posts I ever read on Active Rain.
     
  2. Brooke Tighe -  I have never met her, but she is an agent that also works for Crye-Leike and she just recently joined Active Rain. So thought I would say hi.
     
  3. Karen George - 2nd Most Subscribed Blog this week on A/R and she's never been meme'd. Amazing. She is one of the first people I had any interaction with on the site.

Hi Angie,

Thanks for the tag....but actually I got tagged a while back.  You can read my response here.

Welcome to Active Rain and glad you happened to stumble by one of my posts when you first found the site!

Angie,

Great job on this meme!  I had to really search Chris' blog to find his meme back in December (since his link above just goes to his site, not the specific meme post) but it is now added to my list.  He never tagged anyone in his meme and didn't link it in the previous lists or meme group so I never found it before.  Thanks for uncovering it and thanks Chris for pointing it out.

Lucky :)

Angie,

It was so nice to see a "face" go with the person! I guess I'll have to bookmark this since you are never showing your face again:)  You certainly are a busy person. Horseback riding, Bachelors, working, mother, wife. Guess thats why you always seem happy! Nice to meet the real you!

Thanks all for checking in. I had fun writing this. My picture was taken a couple weeks ago when my grandparents were visiting and we went on one of the Mississippi River boat rides.

Angie....

Sorry!  As Lucky Lang pointed out I posted the wrong URL in my reply...I should have posted the link as http://www.equityscout.com/pat-kitano-of-transparent so apologies to Lucky for making you search.  I tagged Jeremy Bencken at TenantMarket.com, Derrick Daye at Branding Strategy Insider, and fellow Houstonian Micahel Price of MLPodcast.com....none of them are active rainers so didn't leave much of a trace around here!

Angie...

Ah. Ha. I "dug deep" and found the photo :)

If you don't want that pic turning up on AR may I suggest that you change the visibility on this post to 'members only'.

As per the AR Guidelines members are not allowed to take content (such as photos and comments) and re post them elsewhere in the Rain.

I am probably not the only one 'digging deep' right now :)

TLW...ROAR!

TLW - lol! I knew that 'dug deep' would pull at someone's curiousity. :)

Hi Angie - you did a nice job with your meme, and it's nice to see a picture of you!  A 'two year old monster'!!  You must be about finished with your Bachelor's degree program - congrats for when you do!

Hi Ann, thanks for stopping by. Yes, I am almost finished. I will finish mid-September. I've got a lot of work to cram into these last few weeks though. Haven't been blogging as much because of it.

Hi Angie,  great MeMe!  I have a two year old monster also.  Actually, he is trying to unload my dishwasher right now.  Guess I should go.  :)  Do you belong to the moms of young kids group?

I was glad to see a photo also.  ;-)
