Seven, the number of completion

OK, I was tagged earlier this week by Dutch which is why several of you have wandered this way.  And while I have been a little pre-occupied with Bean’s surgery and recovery, I do not want to disappoint.  So, here it is… my meme.

I also promise that I have several entries all percolating in my sleep-deprived brain…  don’t give up on me just yet.

7 Things To Do Before I Die:
1.      Win the freaking Lottery.
2.      Raise adults, as opposed to large children.
3.      Write two books, one to stroke my ego, one to entertain my kids.
4.      Conquer seasickness and take a long sailing trip.
5.      Read the entire Canon of American Literature (getting there slowly but surely).
6.      Grow old and crazy with style.
7.      Embarrass my children at their wedding.

7 Things I Cannot Do:
1.      Go one hour without dropping the F-bomb.
2.      Co-habitate with spiders, any spiders.  Period.
3.      Tell my left from my right. 
4.      Understand why guys must videotape themselves lifting weights (N. suggests that I change this to “meatheads” but I think that he is just trying to cover something up).
5.      Throw things away.
6.      Go more than two days without talking to my mother (I know, it is sad).
7.      Math… cliché, yes but true.  My dad is a math teacher and yet the concept of numbers escapes me…

7 Things That Attract Me To The Opposite Sex:
1.      A wicked sense of humor (the kind that often gets one into trouble in public).
2.      Intelligence.
3.      Faith.
4.      An overwhelming urge to fix all of my problems, big and little.
5.      The ability to ask for directions.
6.      Strong back, great arms, and a chest at the perfect height for an incredible hug.
7.      Punctuality (which N lacks, but six out of seven ain’t too shabby)

7 Celebrity Crushes:
1.    Ed Norton
2.    Tom Cavanagh
3.    Ray LeMontagne
4.    Viggo Mortensen (Intelligent, brooding and talented… plus he can use a sword.  Tasty)
5.    John Cusack
6.    Chris Isaak
7.    Paul Newman in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof… meow

In keeping with Dutch’s tradition of not guilting anyone into participating, I will simply send y’all to check out some of my favorite mamas … and if they want to play along, Super.  If not… well, they ruin it for everyone else. But I am certainly not going to be the one to point it out. : )

OK, ladies...  you are up!

Um, yeah...I'll get right on that! ;)

FYI...I used to play basketball every week with Tom Cavanagh. Wish I had something nasty to say about him but he's a really nice, cool and laid-back guy.

[Dutch]

crap, your mention of "Ed" made me forget that I have a mancrush on Michael Ian Black and the entire cast of MTV's the state, yes, including Schowalter.

I am glad some woman other than my wife cannot tell her left from her right. Tell N I can sympathize with how hard it must be to go driving with you.

I'm getting right on that too... the thing about memes is that is takes me FOREVER to do them and I inevitably get frustrated and quit half way through. But, I love reading them when other people do them.

Ah, you are far too kind T'pon! Favorite Mommy indeed, I am flushing. I will make this my weekend assignment. This particular meme doesn't look too bad, so I am sure I will still like you when I am done.

very interesting, but I don't agree with you
