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.

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...

Stopping the Voices in my Head - aka Mastering my Mindset

The more I work on my personal development, the more I realize I need to stop listening to and changing the negative things I tell myself in my head.  I'm also noticing the older I get the more the negative things I hold as beliefs about myself are not true.  This reinforces that I should second guess the other negative beliefs I hold inside ... maybe those are not true either.  Here are a few things I've realized are not true: I need help to put air in my car tires - This was one of the first things I learned as my husband had to move to Colorado for work. I did this at the Wawa up the street where the machine will stop and beep when your tires are at the right pressure.  I also learned and committed to memory that the pressure you want your tires at is inside your gas cap, something I have to open at least once a week.  This was something that was super easy to learn to do and had me zipping along the roads in a few minutes without the anxiety...
