Seven Sevens

I've seen this at a few different blogs but the most recent was at Marla's. She didn't tag me, she left it open, the same way I'll do. My answers might even resemble Marla's - we tend to think a lot alike in many areas. Must be the 'arla' in our names. Could be the goofy husbands, too.

Seven things to do before I die:

1. Write the book that blesses, inspires, and draws someone closer to Christ.
2. Get paid for my writing on a regular basis.
3. See my store become a successful venture, so Kev can quit his horrible job.
4. Go to Scotland to see where gpa's clan was from.
5. Spoil many grandchildren.
6. Visit a tropical island.
7. Come into a boatload of money and set my mom up for the rest of her life.

Seven things I cannot do:

1. Juggle
2. Scuba dive
3. Yodel
4. The spock sign with my hand
5. Drink green tea
6. Work with other people's children
7. Be mistaken for a social butterfly

Seven things that attract me to my husband:

1. His passion for the deep things of the word
2. His humility
3. His sidesplitting sense of humor
4. His ability to listen to anything I say, and really hear me
5. His work ethic - even though he can't operate a hand tool to save his life
6. The spare change in his couch (very few will get that inside joke)
7. His eyes

Seven things I say most often:

1. "I said hang on a minute..."
2. "I have no idea"
3. "Where is.... (insert item)"
4. "How many times do I have to tell you... (insert wisdom)"
5. "Time to eat" (or Aww Duh Deet - the way Ruth used to say it)
6. "GREAT job, pick your sticker!"
7. "Pay attention"

Seven books (or series) I love:

1. The Sovereignty of God (AW Pink)
(I drew a complete blank on any others - it's been too long since I've been able to consume books like I did when I was sans 50 kids)

Seven movies I would watch over and over again:

1. A Christmas Carol with Alistair Sim
2. The Wizard of Oz
3. We Were Soldiers
4. Patriot
5. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
(couldn't think of 2 others)

Seven people I want to join in, too:

1. Kim
2. Steph
3. Frank (pfft, as if)
4. Loki
5. you
6. you
7. you
