7 Things....

So remember when I said I was a blog retard? Well I got tagged on my friend's blog and I was all, "Um, so what does that mean? Am I suppose to do that now or something?" She was probably rolling her eyes when I asked her...but being the nerds that we are, we were on instant messenger so I can't see the eye roll. (I don't think either one of us know the short-cut symbols for those eye-rolling faces because we never seem to use those.) =)

Anyway, here I go on my first tag. I know...I am WAY cool!

7 Things About Me

Seven things I want to do before I die:

1. See all my kids grow up and make really good choices and always stay close to the church with their families.
2. Meet the Prophet.
3. Learn a new language.
4. See all of my boys serve honorable full-time missions.
5. Learn to ski.
6. Live out of the country for awhile so I can pick up a really cool accent. =) I know...important huh?! I just never knew that I would be making these huge life plans this morning while sitting on my couch! It really is huge!
7. Read CRAP loads of books. I have SO MANY on my list of ones I want to read.

Seven things I can do:

1. Do CPR. I used to be all sorts of certified in this. Haven't done the cert stuff in years, but you still stand a pretty good chance if you ever need CPR from me.
2. Say a few important lines in Thai, Portuguese, Spanish, and Pig-Latin. (Getting more and more limited as the years pass, but I used to be REALLY good at those few lines!) Oh, and a few Samoan cuss words.
3. Joke about ANYTHING. (not always a good thing. Sometimes it may come across as not taking things seriously, but not true. I am just that good...I can be totally serious about a subject and still plug in a good joke. Ok, good joke is debatable, but I can still try.)
4. I can wrap gifts like you wouldn't believe. Truly amazing. (totally humble, I know!) But for real, like Nordstrom's catalog, picture-perfect pretty wrapping jobs. I got it from my mom. Thanks mom!)
5. Do makeup really well. I used to think this was something that was pretty idiot proof and wasn't much of a talent, but after hearing everyone talk about how they have no clue how to do makeup and wish that they did, I realize that it might be something that not just anyone can do. Totally useful talent that will help me in all the Eternities...I know!
6. I can do math. Love it! Trig has always been a favorite. (nerd...I know)
7. Kick pretty much anyone's butts in Dr. Mario.

Seven things I can't do:

1. Walk in heels. I keep buying them hoping that I will learn, but then I get too scared to wear them anywhere. I am getting better though.
2. Take good pictures.
3. Get up and go to the gym in the morning.
4. Go without going to Disneyland at least yearly. (little traumatized right now...we are missing this year for the addition of Small Fry to our family. He is cute, but COME ON!!)
5. Remember my kids names and call them by the right name. Also got this one from Mom.
6. Do the splits. Never have been able to...no great hopes for the future.
7. Can't get my dogs to stop barking.

Seven things that attract me to the opposite sex:

1. Tall, dark, and handsome.
2. He is a great dad.
3. Great singer.
4. Can change light bulbs without even standing on anything.
5. Puts up with all my trips and doesn't say anything about staying home and changing poopy diapers while I am off playing...I mean working...with the girls.
6. Has gotten very good at knowing when to compliment my makeup. And once in awhile his opinion on it is almost getting useful.
7. Speaks 3 languages. Surprisingly, pig-latin is not one of them. He is remarkably bad at that one.

Seven things I say most often:

1. No. (I'm sure this would be Spider-man's input if he were helping me. He is convinced that I say no all the time. At what age do I get to tell him, "I always say no because you always ask for dumb stuff."?)
2. Who peed all over the floor boys?!?!
3. I need a vacation.
4. Quit hitting!
5. Dog, don't lick the baby!!! SICK!!!!
6. I love you more!
7. Son of a BUCKET!!

Seven celebrities that I like:

Celebrities are lame. I love the Brad Paisley song about how reality has gone bye-bye for these crazies. I especially hate when they get political. So I will tell you which ones I like on the surface, but I take no responsibility if they are, have been, or turn out to be crap-bags.

1. Patrick Dempsey. (He has been married for a long time and loves the dad and husband thing. That is good in my book.) Not to mention that he is very very pretty to look at. =)
2. Hugh Jackman. (see comment above.)
3. Brooke Shields. Cute mom and she made Tom Cruise look like an idiot. What could be better.
4. Jennifer Garner. Cute mom.
5. Michael Vartan. Just plain pretty.
6. Matthew McConanughey. ahhhhh.
7. Christian Bale.

Wow...do you see that most of the list is because they are nice to look at. What does that say about how important they are. Not important at all...can totally be done without. Someday huh?

Seven favorite foods:

1. Lasagna
2. Dessert
3. A nice grilled steak.
4. Mexican
5. Candy
6. Whoppers (not the candy, the burger. The candy would be included under #5.) =)
7. Pulled Pork anything

Seven people that I tag:

1. Peggy
2. Rachel
3. Erica
4. Melinda
5. Kate
6. Emily
7. That's pretty much all the people that I know that may actually see this post and have a blog. =)
