Seven Things

in Odds and Ends

Hey, Sarcomical! Remember when you tagged me with this meme in 1989? Oh, you forgot? Yeah, I kind of forgot, too. Until TODAY, my friend.

Seven Things To Do Before I Die:
1. Spend at least one month in Italy.
2. Live closer to my family.
3. Be a loving, funny and “in-touch” mother.
4. Paint.
5. Be an excellent cook.
6. Host dinner parties with all sorts of interesting guests.
7. Tell my grandchildren stories that completely captivate their attention.

Seven Things I Cannot Do:
1. Get on a plane without touching the outside of it while boarding.
2. Sleep late.
3. Drive leisurely.
4. Watch television for more than 12 minutes at a time.
5. Stay away from the internet for more than 2 hours at a time.
6. Talk on the phone without pacing the house.
7. Surf. And I live 5 minutes from the ocean. Gah!

Seven Things That Attract Me to Blogging:
1. Keeping an online account of my life experiences. Bonus if people find it entertaining.

    Number 2 on 7 things to do before I die-live closer to my family. No one wants that more than me! Hurry and go to Italy so it will move to NUMBER 1.

    I LOVE the baby name wizard! Best baby names book by far!

    The Boy’s name was in the book, and the brother and sister names were all the other backup names we had.

    Nice job on the meme.
