Tagged!

I got tagged by the uber-cool Meri-ann! I'm not sure how I got lucky enough to get noticed by such an awesome blogger, but I'm very grateful she took notice of my little blog. Here are my responses to the tag:

7 things I'd like to do before I die:
1. Hear my child call me mom
2. Love my body
3. Open a rescue shelter for animals (cats, dogs, goats, pigs, horses, anything that needs rehab or a home.)
4. Marry DH (again) in Las Vegas by an Elvis impersonator. Seriously. It sounds like a fun way to recommit to each other.
5. Sell a piece of artwork or publish a book
6. Market one of my ideas/inventions. (Sounds hokey, I know, but I've got a few product ideas for disabled people. Wouldn't make a million bucks, but would probably pay for an ivf cycle.)
7. Shave my head so my hair was as short as a 3 year old boy. DH says I need an angular face for that. Maybe when I'm 65.

7 things I can't do:
1. Eat meat without feeling guilty or sad about the death of an animal
2. Keep a hairstyle for the whole day. By afternoon, hair is in a ponytail or off my face with a funky barrette.
3. See roadkill without saying a prayer
4. Let my fingernails grow. When they get too long, it feels like my fingertips can't breathe (By the way, I know that's weird)
5. Touch cotton balls- they give me the creeps, especially the squeak they make when torn apart. Really, there is a sound. Go to your bathroom and try it, just make sure I'm far away and occupied.
6. Sleep a whole night without waking up DH for a chat. He's such a good sport about this. He answers questions and makes comments on my musings when I can't sleep.
7. Get a tattoo. I'm too afraid of the pain, but I'd love one.

7 things that attracted me to my husband:
1. His voice (deep, southern drawl)
2. His intelligence, he's really smart, almost too smart for his own good
3. His sense of adventure (past and current hobbies: ice climbing, hiking, rock climbing, flying)
4. He is a great cook and bakes bread from scratch- no bread machine
5. He's an "old soul"
6. His willingness to dance with me even though he couldn't find the beat if it slapped him in the face
7. He often looked (looks) at me in a dreamy way, like I'm an angel. (Guess the hair hides the horns.)

7 books (or series of books) that I love:
1. Outlander series by Diana Galbaldon, I'm on book 4 out of 6 and am actually nervous about finishing the series. I'll miss the characters when I'm done. Hated the first 100 pages, am now addicted.
2. Harry Potter
3. No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency by Alexander MaCall Smith
4. All vegetarian cookbooks
5. Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein
6. The Prophet by Khalil Gibran
7. The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath

7 Movies I'd watch over and over:
1. When Harry Met Sally
2. Sixteen Candles
3. Say Anything
4. Rebecca by Alfred Hitchcock
5. Gaslight with Ingrid Bergman
6. Freaky Friday (the original with Jodi Foster)
7. The Sound of Music

7 people I'd like to tag:
This one is rather difficult for me because I'm supposed to list bloggers here and those tagged bloggers are supposed to do their own list. Well, the problem is, I don't think many other bloggers read my blog. So, instead I'll list some great blogs that I read with the hopes that you'll go check out some of the sites. (And if any bloggers are out there, PLEASE leave a comment and your address, I'd love to pop in and see your stuff.)

1. Dee at Chasing China
2. Vanessa at Twisted Ovaries
3. Stella at Better Than a Soap Opera
4. Meg at Journey to the Center
5. Flicka at the Vacant Uterus
6. Juliana at Positive Chaos
7. Yorkchic at Yorkshire Life

There you go people, more things than you ever wanted to know about me.
Don't forget to pop in and catch a few other bloggers. And anyone else itchin' to blog, come on in, the waters warm!
