Tagged by the Pickle and Christy Too

*NOTE: THIS POST HAS BEEN EDITED FROM ITS ORIGINAL FORM*

I was tagged nearly simultaneously by the Pickle and Christy to do a meme thingies that were nearly the same. Being the efficent and ever so industrious fellow that I am, I smushed the memes together to come up with the following:


First the rules: Remove the blog at #1 from the following list and bump every one up one place; add your blog's name in the #5 spot. This should help promote cross pollination.

1. Mommy Brain
2. I Have to Say
3. Messages From Mama
4. PrairieDaisie & The Pickle
5. Rabenstrange

Next: select four new friends to add to the pollen count. I can't remember who's already done this, so ignore it if you did. And, as always, if you're too busy or you just don't want to, feel free to abstain. I tag the following friends:

1. lilyofthevalley
2. TBQelite
3. EJB
4. The Frazzled Sister
