It's attack of the meme tags out there.
First up, ChewyMom tagged me for a belated New Year's meme of sevens (shouldn't we do sixes in honor of 2006?). Many of my answers are the same as hers.
7 things I want to do in 2006:
Paint more paintings.
Lose a bit more baby fat.
Be more patient.
Read outloud to the kids in the middle of the day more often.
Keep a cleaner house.
Invite people over more.
Smooch my husband more.
7 things to do less of in 2006:
Over-react.
Yell.
Spend money.
Goof off.
Procrastinate.
Complain.
Worry.
7 ways I‘m going to be a better spouse/parent/friend in 2006:
Pray more.
Smooch my husband more.
Invite people over more.
Basically, do the things on my "want to do list" and don't do the things on my "don't do list".
7 Scripture Passages I want to memorize in 2006:
Haven't thought about it.
7 Books I’ve Never Read that I‘m Going to Read in 2006:
I don't have any idea. I don't plan my reading like that.
7 Movies I’ve Never Seen that I’m Going to Watch in 2006:
Narnia
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
The next ones are just things I've requested from the library, not necessarily things that I really care that much about:
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
The Brother's Grimm
Spanglish
The Terminal
Second meme tag, Guilty Pleasures from Mary
Meme: Ground Rules: The first player of this "game" starts with the topic "5 Guilty Pleasures" and people who get tagged need to write an entry about their 5 Guilty Pleasures as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 5 people to be tagged and list their names
1. Blogging and reading blogs -- I know I should be doing laundry/cooking/etc.
2. Shoes -- ask my husband, I love shoes.
3. Sewing/crafting stuff -- I buy way more than I need or will use.
4. Hot baths -- I could spend the whole day in one, if the water would stay hot and people would stop insisting they need me.
5. Hot tea -- mmmm...
As for tagging people, anyone who wants to do either or both of these is perfectly welcome to. If they want to do it, I'd love to see answers from Blair, Patricia,
Dan, Francesca and Marc.
*thinking* ;-)
Posted by: patricia at January 24, 2006 10:34 AMI have been agonizing over this since I saw it ... but I can't come up with enough clever quips to fill the tag bucket. As far as the "7's", I'm just trying to exercise more and eat less/smarter. Any movies I get to see are a bonus, books feel like a chore sometimes, and my brain is getting too old to systematically memorize Bible verses.
As far as guilty pleasures ... ah ah aaah, not gonna do it, wouldn't be prudent at this juncture.
[Saw Alison Krauss on a PBS special last night, and the first thing I think about is her hanging out with you to pick up your young'uns from school! I know you're not "close buds" or anything, but still...]
