Seven Things
Tagged by Ladybean:
Seven things to do before I die... Learn to speak and read French, so I can read Les Miserables in the original. Learn to play the fiddle Sail across the ocean (any ocean) Knit Sharon Miller's Wedding Ring Shawl Spend a whole lot more time with my sweetiepie Retire (really, I love my job, though ;-)) Write a novel
Seven things I cannot do...*** Become Queen (despite what I've led my family to believe) Run a marathon Sing an opera Speak Russian Read Icelandic Climb Mt. Everest See worth a damn without my glasses/contacts
Seven things that attract me to my man... His hilarious sense of humor He gets my jokes He's the cutest guy ever He is just a sweetheart Ahem, there are at least two or three that I can't mention on a family blog He makes a mean martini, and knows how I like my bourbon
Seven books that I love... Lord of the Rings Les Miserables The Lymond Chronicles, by Dorothy Dunnett Angle of Repose, by Wallace Stegner (actually, anything else by Wallace Stegner) Time Will Darken It, by William Maxwell Principles of Knitting, by June Hiatt Gravity's Rainbow, by Thomas Pynchon
This list actually could be about twenty pages long!
Seven things I say... Trust me, I'm a doctor Common sense isn't all that common I'd buy a case of that I can't think of four more Seven movies I've loved... Princess Bride Lord of the Rings, all of them Philadelphia Story (Yum, Jimmy Stewart at his sexiest best) Paint Your Wagon (how can you not love a movie in which both Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood sing?) Last of the Mohicans (Daniel Day-Lewis at his sexiest best) To Have And Have Not (Say, was you ever bit by a dead bee?) Triplets of Belleville (one of the best movies I've ever seen)
Seven ladies I'm gonna tag... Not a one. I think everybody else has done this. If you haven't, and want it, consider yourself tagged.
***Yet. I was raised to believe that there is nothing that I can't do, so take these with a grain of salt.
And I'll add one more category, as an afterthought.
Seven favorite Google search strings that brought people to my blog... Getting stitches from a doctor Knitting related tattoos Knitting bandages for lepers Full body sock (huh?) Rotted sill (I'm not making these up) Lace blocking wires welding Last but not least, my favorite, "knitting doctor". It just gives me a giggle that people actually search for me by name.
