(Obviously, I didn't need to bulk up when I was a baby).
The Need Meme.
I yanked this one from here: www.omegamom.com The idea is that you type your first name, plus the word needs, into Google and then write down the first ten sentences that begin with (in my case) “Maia needs…”
Here we go:
1) Maia needs a slice of humble pie.
Oh. Probably true. Been basically true my entire life. But you get along a lot better in the world when you have confidence. And if not humble pie, some kind of pie. I really like pie.
2)Maia needs to bulk up.
Absolutely. Two weeks in bed with the room spinning has left me all weak and skinny (well, relatively so). Just toting around the baby today (the doctor cleared me for all normal activity yesterday except for deep sea diving. I can never deep sea dive again) left me trembling like a kitten and in need of a nap. It was pathetic.
3)Maia needs to know about it.
Yes. I do. I do need to know about it. About it. And everything else. I like to know about it!
4)Maia needs to get over it.
Well, first I have to know about it. Then maybe I can get over it.
5)Maia needs to improve on his standup.
Well, first of all, Maia needs to improve her HER standup, not his. But this might be true as well. I have always hated improv. It was my fatal flaw back when I actually considered being an actress. And the thought of standing up in front an audience and actually trying to make them laugh without a script? Oh no. Yes. Yes. I definitely could improve upon my standup.
6)Maia needs prayer and needs to be prayed over.
Um. Gosh. Well, I can’t say that I feel I need prayer. Though I’m sure there are many, many people out there who would definitely disagree with that. I do my spiritual work in the garden, mainly. Prayer for me is digging into the earth. But if people want to pray over me? Sure! Can’t hurt, right?
7)Maia needs urgent support!
Ah, I guess this is why I need to be prayed over, then? No. I’ve honestly had lots of support lately. But thanks for the concern.
8)Maia needs to think of her sister.
Okay. This one I’ll buy. I’m sure I do need to think of her sister. But which sister? I have four! Probably Gina since she’s been working her ass off taking care of the kids and me for the past two weeks. So I’ll think of her, then. But it really could be any of them. They all need some thinking about.
9)Maia needs to seek professional help.
Jeez! Really! Prayer, professional help, urgent support! What is wrong with me that I need such things? Well, as soon as I know about it, I’m sure it will all be clear.
10)Maia needs YOU!
Okay. I give in. Yes. Definitely. Obviously. I am like the neediest person alive. Come save me now.
And here I was just thinking that I needed a cookie.

Okay, that is awesome. Mine comes courtesy of a mail order bride: "Yana needs to have room to wander, room to play, room to make mistakes. And she will make mistakes, but she will laugh them off, and because she learned something, will never regret."
But you get alone a lot better in the world when you have confidence.
I liked this freudian slip the best.
Not only does Ellen need to convince her family that getting the right amount of sleep is important, but she also needs to figure out how much sleep they need.
Also, I need time to stretch and a new plan.
And that is true- I really do! This is better than reading tea leaves!
Okay, I tried it... here is what I came up with...
Jeannine needs a brother (As far as I know, I've got one).
Jeannine needs more homilies (??)
Jeannine needs a blog (Got it covered!)
Jeannine needs to have her car repaired (Not again!)
Jeannine needs to have an urgent heart operation (gosh I hope not!)
Jeannine needs to learn how to spell (It's genetic. I blame it on my dad!)
Jeannine needs her rest.
Jeannine needs a couple shots of tequila and a glass of captain and coke and then she'll mix the beers . Shake it all up on a horse back ride and go. (Wow! I thought two glasses of wine would do the trick!)
AND
Jeannine needs a refill
Apparently Erin needs "another miracle", "to wear shirts", "yoga", and "to make the lunch at home and bring it to school." all true!
What I found funniest however was how often this game was quoted on blogs belonging to girls named Erin.
I guess we like games that involve vanity searches. ;)
