Fun Fact Friday #12 & a Meme

So I was tagged by Blue earlier this week for a meme and it got me to thinking...what the heck IS a meme and where did it come from. So here you go...all about meme

The term and concept of meme is from the 1976 book by Richard Dawkins, The Selfish Gene. Though Dawkins defined the meme as "a unit of cultural transmission, or a unit of imitation," memeticists vary in their definitions of meme. (from the Wikipedia)

For us crazy bloggers, a meme is some kind of list of questions that you saw somewhere else and you decided to answer the questions.


Now on to the meme...

Five things on my to-do list:
---which one LOL
1. Finish newsletter article (work)
2. Laundry (home)
3. Finish reviews (work)
4. Vacuum (home, but work could use it too!)
5. Make split pea soup with the leftover ham bone from Easter (home, but will eat for lunch at work - yay)

Five Snacks I enjoy:
1. cheese
2. peanut butter and chocolate
3. cheese
4. fruit (any)
5. did I mention cheese?

Five Things I would you do if I was a Billionaire:
1. Pay off all my, my Mom's, my sister's and my pal Yvette's bills
2. Build my dream house
3. Open up a yarn shop
4. Go back to school...just for fun
5. Do a world tour to visit all my blogging friends...and bring Ruby of course!

Five of my bad habits:
---but there are so many!!!
1. Letting laundry pile up until I don't have anything to wear!
2. Not exercising enough
3. Not responding to emails from friends (excuse...all I do is send emails all day, don't want to do it at home)
4. Not getting out more (just staying home with the dog)
5. Snacking instead of eating a proper meal

Five People I will tag:
1. Jen

I actually have another meme in mind with I will share next week...I think it will be an easy and fun one!

I am new to the blogging world, only just set mine up. Although I have been reading the blogs for ages and enjoying.

So your explanation of Meme interested me, I had often wondered where it came from and what it meant exactly.

I am a blogging virgin, so it is all new to me. oh not sure whether that is a proper description of me, whatever!
