My List of Sevens

I've been requested by The Queen Mama (what a cool blog name!) to do a List of Sevens. Here are mine:

Seven things to do before I die (not in order of importance):
1. Travel the world extensively (US, Italy, Spain, South Africa, India, Vietnam, China, the list is endless)
2. Have more children (either biological or adopted) and see them become happy, healthy adults.
3. Study yoga with Joan White to become a certified Iyengar yoga instructor.
4. Learn more foreign languages and use often (goes with #1).
5. See world peace in my time (it's a long shot, I know).
6. Grow old with my darling husband.
7. Spend lots of time cooking fabulous foods in my new kitchen.

Seven things I cannot (or will not) do:
1. Skydive.
2. Hang glide.
3. Scuba dive.
4. Go in a submarine underwater (do you see a claustrophobic and fear of heights theme, nahhhh).
5. Get my nipples pierced.
6. Ride a roller coaster.
7. Do a cartwheel.

Seven things that attract me to my spouse (in random order):
1. His big brown eyes.
2. Broad shoulders.
3. Gorgeous bottom.
4. Taste in clothes.
5. Taste in women (namely, me!)
6. Sense of humor.
7. His common sense.

Seven things I say most often:
1. Cool beans.
2. Okie doke.
3. Good luck with that (said in Spongebob voice).
4. Hey, babe (said to DH).
5. Give me a kiss goodbye (to DH and DD, we never leave each other without kisses).
6. Hey, Phoebes (said after the "Hey, Mommy" from DD, she says this a lot!).
7. May I have another glass of wine?

Seven books I read (in random order):
1. The Chronicles of Narnia (also read several times as child, and now to my five-year-old)
2. Little Women
3. Pride and Prejudice
4. Bridget Jones and The Edge of Reason
5. Scarlett (the sequel to Gone with the Wind - different author)
6. Mansfield Park
7. Blood and Gold (Anne Rice)

Seven movies I watch over and over again (in random order):
1. Bridget Jones and The Edge of Reason
2. Pride and Prejudice (BBC miniseries)
3. Love Actually
4. People Will Talk (Cary Grant movie)
5. Sabrina (old and new versions)
6. Dune
7. Practical Magic


I'm going to let my blog friends off the hook for now on this list of seven. I had a hard time with this. I even had to enlist my DH for help.

Bouncing Back From Depression

I've been pretty depressed lately. Monday I hit my all time low, which coincidentally was also my dad's birthday. Needless to say I'm sure I'm on his not favorite child list as I forgot to call him I was so depressed. This whole two mortgage thing with no contract in site is really frustrating. Especially when lots of other houses on our block are selling. Our house is really very lovely, just no pool. It has a really flat backyard perfect for putting a pool in though. Anyway, on Monday, Mom called to make sure I didn't forget to call Dad and tell me she read my blog over the weekend and sent me an email about it. Sorry, Mom, I still have yet to check my emails to see what you had to say. Mom told me I needed to bury a statue of St. Joseph in the yard to get it to sell quicker. Wish I knew that sooner. I was going to wait for her to mail me hers, but yesterday I got really mad at myself and wanted to do something to improve my situation, so I found the nea

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni
