Crazy 8 Divided by 2 Meme




Got tagged by Patti some time ago with this one. I'm just getting around to it....
Quoting from Patti (Late Bloomerboomer) who was quoting from Linda:
The "Crazy 8's" meme is from Debbie Dolphin of New England Lighthouse Treasures. Linda decided to make it the "Crazy 8's Divided by Two" meme. Sounds good to me.
Claudia, Out on a Limb also tagged me with this one a while ago. So here we go:

buffalo, ahahahahaha!!! gotcha!!!

Matt, it's just the Crazy 8 meme, list 8 things in each category and someone divided it by 2, so we only had to list 4 things, thereby shortening the lists....k?

Peace

I too finally learned that 'it's just not that important.' I just wished my boss felt the same way.
