I'm finally responding

My sister-in-law, Allison tagged me last week, and I've been working on my response since then. I had to put it into a Word doc to capture my thoughts, and here's the result.

7 Things I Want To Do Before I Die...

1. Take a hot air balloon ride
2. Visit the towns in Sicily where my family came from
3. Take a photography class
4. Operate heavy equipment, like a bulldozer or backhoe or something
5. Make a million memories with Matthew
6. Learn to speak Italian
7. Teach Matthew all of our families’ traditions

7 Things I Can Do...

1. Find anything on the internet
2. Play a good game of chess
3. Laugh at myself
4. "Shoot the duck" on roller skates (or at least I used to be able to – haven’t tried in ages!)
5. Read people
6. Function pretty well on little sleep (so I’ve discovered!)
7. Cuss like a sailor

7 Things I Can't Do...

1. Whistle (except through my teeth)
2. Swim
3. Touch the tip of my nose with my tongue
4. Carry a tune
5. Tolerate my cat’s constant shedding and incessant talking
6. Sleep without my shoulder covered by a sheet or blanket
7. Be in charge of the alarm clock because I tend to just incorporate the noise into my dreams

7 Things That Attracted Me to My Hubby…

1. Those beautiful blue eyes
2. He’s so stinking smart
3. The way he really listens, and remembers what you say
4. He’s the most considerate man I know
5. The way he smiles at me
6. He’s a snappy dresser
7. The way he loves his family

7 Things I Say Most Often

1. How’s my boy doin’?
2. Are you serious?
3. No doubt.
4. Don’t be nuts.
5. Can you turn it down a little?
6. Love you. Bye.
7. What else?

7 Celebrity Crushes

1. Tom Brady


2. Al Pacino


3. Matthew McConaughey


4. Gordon Ramsay


5. Matt Damon


6. Brian Williams


7. Bear Grylls


I'm following suit with Gini and not tagging anyone. But, I'd love to hear from anyone who's willing to share. I have to say this one was very thought-provoking. They say you should have a list of things you want to do before you die, and prior to this, I'd never really given it any thought. Now I'm glad I did.....

I will give it a try. I don't know if I will be able to think of seven men that I have a crush on though. We'll see.

Hey--we'll have to take the kids roller skating and see if you can still shoot the duck! I'm with you on Brian Williams . . . those eyes, snappy dresser, the way he smiles at me through the tv . . LOL

Nice one, Kimmy. Cuss like a sailor is my favorite one!!! Tom Brady?? He's a wuss.

Denise said...

Uuummmmm...am I sensing a new "night before Thanksgiving" activity?? I need to see shoot the duck in action!! I'm serious - I NEED to skate backwards and I need to do it soon!!

Ew - to your celebrity list. ew, ew and ew some more. I cannot believe how we differ. Although, I do find Gordon Ramsay's constant F-bombing and complete disdain for all people fun and refreshing. He'd be a good hate-humper.
Tom Brady. ew. And I don't follow Football AT ALL except to know to steer clear of Jay when the Jets lose. But Tom Brady just looks creepy to me.
I have no idea who Bear is, though, and he is cute.

Anyhoo - fun post. I don't want to think that hard right now but I may get back to that one.
