I've been Tagged!

OK, I'm kinda slow at blogging so it took me awhile to figure out that I had been tagged by Nettie to do a se7ens meme. This happened almost a week ago, but I was thrilled to be asked so I definitely wanted to play along (even though I am slow to respond.)

7 things I want to do before I die:
  • Take my children to Washington DC
  • Learn to make cream-filled chocolate candies
  • Climb the ruins of Tikal
  • Ride the Eurorail through Europe
  • Learn to play the guitar
  • Swim in the gulf of Mexico (again!)
  • Go through the Honduran temple (which is not built or even announced yet, but I have faith someday will be)

7 things I cannot do:

  • Stop eating sugar
  • Bungee Jump OR Sky Dive
  • Give up my Costco card
  • Abuse a child
  • Scrapbook (lack of talent, lack of motivation)
  • Call my mother on the phone (I miss that!)
  • Give up on the people I care about

7 things that attracted me to my spouse:

  • His loyalty to everything he believes in
  • His eyes
  • His ability to listen
  • His motivation to do right
  • His taste in music
  • His wit
  • His love for me

7 things I say often:

  • Oh my gosh!
  • Use your words!
  • Have you seen my keys?
  • How many times do I have to say ____________?
  • (Yawn) I'm so tired
  • Just Kidding
  • I love you (I hope I say this often)

7 Books I Love

  • Piggie Pie
  • Series of Unfortunate Events
  • Five Secrets a Millionaire Taught Me
  • Jesus the Christ
  • Fast Food Nation
  • A Room with A View
  • A Good John Grisham Thriller

7 Movies I Could Watch Over and Over

  • Pride and Prejudice (A&E version)
  • Mobsters and Mormons
  • Seven Brides for Seven Brothers

Tikal is awesome, you should do that for sure! Ditto on stopping sugar intake. I try and try but then I binge and binge! And "use your words!" :)

Nettie said...

What exotic goals you have! And I love Piggie Pie,too. It was fun getting to know more about you!

Okee dokees! Mine are up finally! It's hilarious you tagged me because I had seen someone's sevens and had already started my list. I planned on posting my sevens even if I hadn't been tagged, but you gave me an excuse! Thanks!!

(I loooved 'A Room with a View'. Have you seen the film version?)

Erickson Family said...

Soleclaw: I have seen the film version many times and I loved it, along with many other Merchant and Ivory films like Howards End and Where Angels Fear to Tread. A Room with a View is definitely my favorite!

handiemom: Thanks for visiting my blog :) that was nice of you, to visit AND invite me to play along. My 7s are up now.

I have not watched “Mobsters and Mormons” just the trailer, it looks funny. I love LDS comedies. “A Room with a View” is on my reading queue, I can’t wait to get it.

You have a pretty cool blog!
