Apparently I have been tagged...

7 things I can't do

• Clearly (here's your answer demondoll), dress myself properly
• Lose weight, apparently
• Find time and/or motivation to paste pictures into a photo album so that I won't (just as my mother did when I was a youngster) say to my S.O.s when they are older, "Mmm, no I don't know when that was taken and no, I am not sure which of you that is"
• Dance, anymore... I mean the real Martha Graham kind
• Math, although sometimes I get a brain fart and do it correctly
• Remember my mother's birthday
• Hold a grudge

7 bad habits
(Isn't this just basically the same as the above?)

• Picking my skin
• Calling myself fat
• Obsessing over chin hairs
• Picking my skin
• Eating sugar
• Ignoring my appearance (in the larger sense, not in the miniscule chin hair sense)
• Picking my skin (I know, it's gross... but there it is)

7 fave tv shows/movies

• Lost (thanks to Brother-In-Law for getting me addicted)
• Location, Location, Location - on BBC America and its American counterpart, House Hunters (although they never give you home prices so somewhat less satisfying)
• NOW on PBS
• The English Patient
• The Colbert Report
• Supernanny and Nanny 911 (because it's always fun to believe that you are a better parent than 'those' people)
• Whatever's on Turner Classic Movies

7 things i say most often

• "Great"
• I used to say "Everything happens for a reason" but I no longer believe that, I think now that's a load
• "I look like a cow"
• "My God, I'm huge"
• "Great!"
• "Mamma says no"
• "Great!!"

7 most attractive things about my partner

• Well, he used to have beautiful hair but he won't let it grow anymore... bummer
• His sense of humor
• His beautiful eyes, but I can't say as I appreciate much his current 'serial killer' glasses that cover them up and he won't wear his contacts much... bummer
• That he has no problem changing diapers
• He does dishes and laundry
• He always says "We'll figure something out"
• He's a kind, kind soul

7 randoms

• It really irritates me when people say "Follow your passion and the money will come" because that's a load and the only people who say that have money and have already succeeded
• I want to make a documentary on failure because we never celebrate it in this country, so consequently we all feel like losers in some regard because nobody ever talks about it and, a documentary about stuff because people have too much of it
• I want to be wildly successful at some bloody thing before I die!
• I just read in the Sunday Parade that I am supposed to now, because I am 40, be creating a 'new dream' but I can't figure out what the hell that is
• I'm having some difficulty/trauma in coming to grips with sending S.O.v.1 off to preschool in a couple of months... he's so young!
• I'm having my first mammogram today and I'm scared
• I feel extremely lucky - to have been born in America - into sane-ish family - in the Bay Area where I learned early on that everyone is exactly the same on the inside - even if they look funny to you on the outside; to have really great friends all over the place despite the fact that I have not a one closer than 200 miles away from where I live now; and to have a lovely husband who loves me and two really spectacular kids
