I am very excited about this interview, and even more so because it takes a lot for these three wonderful people to pour their hearts out to complete strangers! You and I both know they’re doing it simply because they love me, and I’m sure my readers will share the love too!

My bloggy/haiku friend Shakira has started her own meme! It’s called “Weekend Funnies” and all you need to do is post something funny to share. Seems simple enough! I’m catching the tail-end of it this time, since I was AFK* a lot last week and didn’t have time to prepare anything for it. I’ll try to do better next time!

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray my sanity I keep.
For if some peace I do not find,
I’m pretty sure I’ll lose my mind.

I pray I find a little quiet,
Far from the daily family riot.
May I lie back and not have to think
About what they’re stuffing down the sink,

Or who they’re with, or where they’re at
And what they’re doing to the cat.
I pray for time all to myself
(did something just fall off a shelf?)

To cuddle in my nice, soft bed
(Oh no, another goldfish–dead!)
Some silent moments for goodness sake
(Did I just hear a window break?)

And that I need not cook or clean
(well heck, I’ve got the right to dream)
Yes now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray my wits about me keep,
But as I look around I know,
I must have lost them long ago!
