I got tagged

This should answer Missy's and Lara's tags.

7 things I plan to do before I die...
1. Have a sleepover with Rob...somewhere other than here...with no kids
2. Go to Hawaii with Rob
3. Stay at a B&B for a night with Rob
4. Teach my kids to follow Christ
5. See the Broadway production of Beauty and the Beast
6. Go to Korea and Chile with Rob
7. Finish reading the Bible

(Reading Missy's post about her 2nd getaway with her husband this year made me jealous...and I realized that we, pathetically, have not done anything like that since before our kids were born. So that's more than 4 years. I would rather use this internet time to book something right now...but I have a 3 month old...where's my fairy godmother wet nurse?)

7 things I can do...
1. Fire up our relationship right here at home (it'll have to do for now...)
2. Cook and bake good food (see below)
3. Play musical instruments (piano, flute, guitar)
4. Play with my kids
5. Get three kids into their carseats in less than 2 minutes (now getting them ready and out of the house is a different story)
6. Teach...especially churchy stuff
7. Crafty things, like scrapbooking, sewing, painting...just don't expect it to be perfect

7 things I cannot do...
1. Barter
2. Right now, I can't run. Well, I can, but then my back hurts the next day, so I shouldn't.
3. Keep the clutter picked up in my house
4. Go on an overnight trip with Rob
5. Shop around for the best deal. It just wastes time and gas money!
6. Stick to a budget
7. Beat Rob in Settlers, Scrabble, Monopoly, or Boggle.

7 Things that attract me to the opposite sex...(Rob)
1. Great husband
2. Wonderful father
3. Playful and fun
4. Intelligent
5. Disciple of Christ
6. Patient with me
7. Supportive of me

7 Things I say most often
1. There's something that Dylan always says that I think is so cute...then I realized that I do it too. But I always forget what it is because it's something I always do.
2. I can't remember how I say things because it just happens in the moment...but there are several phrases that I say all the time.

7 Celebrity Admirations
1. Mel Gibson---for having one wife and a large family and staying with her
2. Gladys Knight--for sharing what she believes
3. I guess there are more celebrities like that, but I can't think of any.
4. I could go on and on about those who I don't admire

7 Favorite foods...(okay, so I got a little carried away with this one...I might as well double it!)
1. Thai food made with fresh vegetables (you're not going to find it at Tara Thai, but maybe that Mom and Pop Thai restaurant that almost looks like a hole in the wall)
2. Kate's apple crisp pie
3. Stir fry
4. cookie dough
5. California peaches in June from a farmer's market...fresh
6. Home made pizza
7. French toast with home made syrup
8. Panini's
9. Coffee cake
10. Fresh home made bread with strawberry freezer jam
11. Mac n' cheese (I'll admit that I love it as much as my kids do!)
12. Chicken satay
13. Hot dogs roasted over an open fire
14. Orange Julius with the foam on top...the foam is the best part

7 People I think should do this: whoever wants to.
