tagged!

OK, the original tag says to fill out the below lists with seven items each (i.e. 7 things I can do). To be honest, I am tired and don't feel particularly creative at the moment, so I will list only the most important things. In other words don't bet on seven, ok!

Things I Want To Do Before Dying
See the Taj Mahal, live somewhere other than New Jersey, play with my grandchildren, become a successful Graphic Designer, write a children's book, play a musical instrument and speak Chinese

Things I Can Not Do
Definitely can't sing, play the piano or talk on the telephone for more than five minutes (I really hate the phone)! Speak Chinese - the only Chinese I know is how to say "give me the check" at a restaurant or "he just dropped dead" - believe it or not, these two statements sound VERY similar in Cantonese.

Things I Can Do
Cook, knit, whistle, swim and listen

Things That Attracted Me To My Husband
His sense of humor, work ethic, generosity and most of all the fact that I knew he would make a great dad.

Things I Say Most Often
Just give me one minute, DUH, whatever, I'll love you forever (to my daughter) and various obscenitiess while driving my car.

Books That I Love
The Red Tent, The Kite Runner, Memoirs of a Geisha, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince (actually, the whole HP series), The Lovely Bones and The Time Traveler's Wife

Movies That I Love
Sense and Sensibility, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Glory, Pirates of theCaribbeann

So now it's my turn to tag - Buttercup, Collin Chronicles, Maryland Mommy, What about Mommy? and My Wooly Nest - you're IT

I got a kick out of your two Chinese phrases you are able to say. Hopefully, you won't ever have to use them at the same time!

But what if you were at a hoity-toity restaurant and someone "asked for the check" and then "dropped dead" at the sight of said check?

Mmmmm.

Hey! I also hate talking on the phone! Although as a teenager, I used to talk for hours.....now I hate it, and actually cringe when the phone rings sometimes! lol

Good list. Are you going to try and learn chinese? I tried and it'a a very difficult language...

MrsFortune said...

Chinese? Cantonese or Mandarin or .. ?

LOVE your book list, although I hated "Lovely Bones" but all your other picks are on my list, as well. And I'd like to know more specifics about the obscenities.

Hey Stephanie!!! I finally figured out this tagging process. Thanks for thinking of me - now you can check out my responses too! Good luck with the Chinese - did you know that ITUNES has a ChinaPod Podcast with free Chinese lessons. It is fun & useful. WendyZ
