<p>Many of the Sunday Stealing memes are broken down into parts because they are so long, and this one is no exception.  Here&#8217;s Part 3 of what Sunday Stealing has dubbed the Never Ending Meme.</p>
<blockquote>
<div><em>Today we ripped off</em> a blogger named<strong> Tense Teacher</strong> of the blog <strong><a href="http://tenseteach.wordpress.com/">Tense for a Reason</a></strong>.<em> (Yes we know that we&#8217;ve ripped her off not so long ago as well. It&#8217;s pretty amazing since she stopped posting in 2007. But that&#8217;s where we live as a thief).</em> Also, it&#8217;s long so we&#8217;ll do it in parts. She does not say where she got it from. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft&#8217;s thieves might take some time.<em>Take the time to comment on other player&#8217;s posts. It&#8217;s a great way to make new friends! </em>Link back to us at <a href="http://sundaystealing.blogspot.com/"><strong>Sunday Stealing</strong></a>!</p>

<p><em><strong>21. Did you go to your high school prom?</strong></em> I went to both of them, but I only spent 15 minutes or so at my senior prom&#8230;just long enough to get our photos taken.</p>
<p><em><strong>22. Perfect time to wake up?</strong></em> When Ellie says &#8220;Mama get up!&#8221;  She&#8217;s always awake before me.</p>

<p><em><strong>25. Ever been in a car accident?</strong></em> I&#8217;ve been in a couple, but luckily nothing serious.</p>
<p><em><strong>26. Closer to mom or dad…or neither?</strong></em> I&#8217;m a Daddy&#8217;s girl, and we talk everyday.  My mom and I don&#8217;t exactly have much of a relationship.</p>
<p><em><strong>27. What age is this exciting life over for you?</strong></em> I don&#8217;t even want to think about that.</p>

<p><em><strong>35. Favorite fruit?</strong></em> Kiwi</p>

<p>We had a pretty enjoyable weekend around here.&#160; Ben worked Saturday, so Ellie and I had a girls day.&#160; We <a href="http://blog.everydayrandomness.net/2011/12/ellies-christmas-tree/" target="_blank">decorated a cardboard Christmas tree</a> we made for her last week, baked some sugar cookies, and snuggled up to watch Christmas movies after hanging some more decorations.&#160; </p>
<p>We’ve just about finished decorating the inside of the house with the exception of our Christmas tree.&#160; I would love to have the tree now, but because the wood heat keeps the air in the living room so dry we have to wait until 2 or 3 weeks before Christmas to put up our tree or it will dry out and die before Christmas.&#160; Yes, we are pro real trees, and we recycle them in a number of ways.&#160; Even though I contemplated buying Ellie a small fake tree for her room I’m not a fan of them.&#160; I don’t think they’re very pretty, and I don’t like the lead hazards associated with most artificial trees.&#160; The National Christmas Tree Association has an <a href="http://www.christmastree.org/faketrees.cfm" target="_blank">interesting article</a> about fake trees, how they’re made, the hazards they pose. </p>
<p>Anywho, getting back on topic of the weekend, we had a very enjoyable one.&#160; Sunday we took Ellie to her <a href="http://blog.everydayrandomness.net/2011/12/salems-christmas-parade-2011/" target="_blank">first parade</a>.&#160; Even though it was a very small parade she absolutely loved it.&#160; She fell asleep before we even made it out of the parade traffic, so our plans of Christmas shopping afterwards were put on hold.&#160; Instead I came home and window shopped online to get a few ideas of what to buy.&#160; </p>
<p>I still have no earthly idea what to buy for Ellie.&#160; I got her a pair of toddler roller skates with my Swagbucks gift cards, but that’s it so far. Our house has become hoarder central for toys.&#160; Seriously we have so much stuff I don’t know where t put it anymore.&#160; There are boxes in the attic and piles of toys all over the house.&#160; She’s filled her bedroom, most of my office, and most of the living room with stuff.&#160; I’ve been packing up stuff she doesn’t play with often and donating it, but we still have a massive amount of toys.&#160; Plus I have to consider all the gifts she’ll get from our family for Christmas, so I have no idea what to buy her.</p>
<p>At least Ben is a lot easier to shop for this year.&#160; I have his present picked out and ready to order as soon as I get paid.&#160; Each year I plan the same present for him, and it gets put on hold because we can’t afford it.&#160; He&#8217;s been looking at <a href="http://teno.com/Boccia-Titanium/Boccia-Rings">titanium rings</a> and talking about getting a new one to replace his broken and too small wedding band, so that&#8217;s what I wanted to get him.&#160; I found a few that I like in our price range, but now the issue is finding one that will fit.&#160; I’ve searched high and low, and no one seems to carry anything over a 13.5.&#160; He needs a 14.5 to fit his big ‘ole finger.&#160; With titanium there isn’t an option of buying a size smaller and having it stretched, so I’ll have to keep looking.</p>
<p>Now that I’ve gotten off topic again I guess it’s time to wrap up this post.&#160; I have a ton of housework to do today anyway, and I definitely can’t get it done if I’m sitting here on the ‘net while Ellie is napping!</p>

<p>Okay, so I know I&#8217;m a day late, but I didn&#8217;t want to completely skip this week&#8217;s Sunday Stealing. I&#8217;m trying to get back into the swing of things, and I&#8217;m trying to cheer myself up. Memes make me feel good, so you shall get a meme now.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<div><strong><em>Today we ripped off</em> </strong>a blogger named<strong>Tense Teacher </strong>from the blog <strong><a href="http://tenseteach.wordpress.com/2007/07/29/myspace-madness-meme-part-1-post-43/">Tense for a Reason.</a> </strong>It&#8217;s long so we&#8217;ll do it in two parts. She stole it from <strong><a href="http://coffee-table.blogspot.com/">The Coffee Table. </a></strong>But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft&#8217;s thieves might take some time. Take the time to comment on other player&#8217;s posts. It&#8217;s a great way to make new friends! Link back to us at <strong><strong><a href="http://sundaystealing.blogspot.com/">Sunday Stealing!</a></strong></strong></div>

<p><strong>24. If you were an animal what would you be? Why?</strong></p>
<p>A bulldog, so I could lie around being pampered and loved on all day.</p>
<p><strong>25. Hair color you like on someone you’re dating?</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;m a dark blonde/brown kinda girl.</p>
<p><strong>26. If suffering an injury, would you rather be left blind or deaf?</strong></p>
<p>That&#8217;s a tough one.  I&#8217;m going to say deaf.</p>

<p><strong>34. What did you dream last night?</strong></p>
<p>I think my dream stemmed from the fact this is about the time last year when my dad went hunting and hit a deer with his truck before he ever made it to his hunting spot.  I dreamed I borrowed his truck, hit a deer, and I had to call him.  I said I had bad news and good news.  He wanted the bad news first.  I said &#8220;well, I just wrecked your truck.&#8221; He said &#8220;well, how the heck can there be good news?&#8221;, and I said, &#8220;I got ya a deer!&#8221;<br />
