    As I adore you, love.....

    Okay, I'll play-

    Me- Cygirl

    Location- Southeast Iowa

    3 topics I blog about most- music, fashion, general fangirling

    How I came to be a Bee- Via google alerts or similar, I commented on Odd Bee's blog, thus setting off a chain of events that have led my co-workers to know more than they ever wanted to know about Brit indie bands. And they like it. Sergiously.

    (really, we all say "sergiously" now, and I caught Denise humming 'What Katie Did' on Sunday. Posh, religious Denise. Hee)

    How I know the other Bees-
    I don't, but have actually spoken to Odd and QB now.... since I've taken to answering my phone.

    *grins*

    Oooh! Me! Me!

    Me: Roobee
    Location: Hotlanta
    3 topics: Ugly dogs, Southern living, for serious

    How I bee-came: Brit Bee tuned me in, I snarked, Queen Bee asked me aboard

    Bees I Know in Real Life:
    Brit Bee - my older sis
    Queen Bee - through Brit Bee
    Macbee - through Brit Bee
    Miss Odd - through Queen Bee

    I must note that QB, Odd, Brit and I had a..... strange time in England about seven years ago, which involved Bush, Blur, Robbie Williams, and a strange man claiming to be Robin Williams.

    ROO! YOU MUST ELABORATE! MY GOD! (just about the Blur and Robbie bits. ESPECIALLY ABOUT THE BLUR AND ROBBIE BITS)

    btw, this post makes travel bee very happy. because, as she told me over dinner the other night, she has no idea who the hell any of the bees are. even those related to her.

    Macbee said...

    me: Macbee

    location: a sofa somewhere in Alexandria, VA (or as I like to say the Washington, DC Bureau)

    3 topics i blog about most: music, sports, whatever the hell intrigues me at the moment...I am also the list guy.

    how i came to be a bee: Queenbee invited me...then kicked me off...then the brillant protest from princessbee got me back on.

    how i know the other bees: for the most part from Queenbee. I am the ex.

    laurab said...

    macbee, you may be the X, but you'll always be A #1 in my book.

    sorry i kicked you out of the blog. again. will you guys ever let me live that down?

    Nancy said...

    My turn
    I asked QB who was who because I didn't know some people's bee names. Now I think I have it straightened out finally.

    Home: "Small town" NY
    Age: older than I want to be so I I act younger
    Occupation: teacher
    Why a bee: I was invited as I am mom to 3 bees and sometimes I have something to add. It is a great addition to my quiet life
    Interests: Travel, gardening, reading, most music, and bees

    Thanks QB, and don't kick Macbee out again!
