I had intended to do this yesterday when I saw it on Theresa’s blog – then again when I saw Roe’s Blog – and when I saw it on Sara’s blog I knew I had no choice! I’m such a joiner!! lol

What you do is google your name and needs – as in “Amy needs”. Here are mine:

1) Amy Needs Help!!! (well, that sure sums it up!)
2) Amy needs a drug-dealer’s testimony to free a teenager wrongfully accused of murder. (Thanking God my life is no where near THAT interesting!!)
3) Amy needs a flu shot – like really really needs a flu shot. (Did my DH write that one??? We were JUST discussing that very thing!)
4) Amy needs to lead an active life (Amen! I’m trying – this 5:30am walking thing is turning out to be better than I thought)
5) Amy needs to either wake up or start getting some extra will-power! (ok, this one just made me laugh)
6) Amy needs to decide if this fits her idea of a good relationship (If we are talking about my marriage – it’s already decided – it’s a good thing! 😉
7) Amy needs a loving, committed family who will provide structure and stability and have the ability to understand her growing process (Amen & Amen!)
8) Amy needs to generate schemas for these documents because schemas are more powerful that DTDs and are the recommended way of describing XML documents. … (huh?!?)
9) Amy needs to hit the sack (well, I’d go, but it’s only 4:30)
10) Amy needs to take off (I kid you not, it was the last thing I found! LOL)

Please let me know if you add your needs to your blog!

I was tagged by Sara – it’s a different one…

The rules are:

1. Search your blog archive.

2. Find your 23rd post.

Here it is: Joshie’s Medical Bills

3. Find the fifth sentence (this is meant to say something about you).

5th sentence says: “Please pray for me as I do this.”
Well, that says alot. Man, was this depressing 🙁

4. Post that sentence in your blog along with these instructions.

5. Tag five people to do the same.

OK – how about Theresa, DayByDay (my HS blog), Debra, Violet and Kate consider yourselves tagged.
