Seven-meme

Got tagged by both Rorie at Milk & Honey and Jaay at Culinarily Obsessed with the "Seven meme" -- here goes--with absolutely, positively no help from the cats:

7 Things To Do Before I Die
1. Travel to the continents I haven’t visited yet (Antarctica, Australia, South America)
2. Read all the unread books in my study (approx 200)
3. Buy a house
4. Finish writing my novel
5. Live in London, England
6. Find someone to spend the rest of my life with (if I haven’t already)
7. Learn to watercolour

7 Things I Cannot Do
1. Grow to 5’3”
2. Vote for the evil party or any of its evil incarnations
3. Watch any of the Star Wars movies
4. Watch daytime talk shows (Oprah, Dr. Phil etc) or any other type of “reality TV”
5. Stop singing
6. Diet
7. Stop reading

7 Things That Attract Me To Blogging
1. It’s a different kind of writing than what I do day-to-day
2. It forces me to record my kitchen experiments
3. Learning about things from people with similar interests to me
4. Far less stressful than keeping up my website (now defunct)
5. Watching my hit counter go tickatickaticka
6. I love the soapbox it affords me
7. It’s an outlet to express myself in words, pictures and food.

7 Things I Say Most Often
1. Coffee-Coffee?
2. Beanie, it’s not time to eat yet.
3. Ummm…yah…you go do that.
4. But why?
5. Moo.
6. Ummm… I asked for a wedge of lime, not lemon.
7. C’est la vie, c’est la guerre, c’est une pomme de terre.

    Oh, wow! LOL! Didn't expect to see myself tagged for a meme, here. ;-)

    I like your list. Why can't you watch Star Wars?

    Star Wars

    Ugh

    I *have* tried to watch it...several times...but after five minutes I just get bored and flip the channel or start reading or sleeping or leave.

    And now they've made it more complicated with the first three not being the first three but the last three.

    Ugh.

    Star Wars.

    Sigh, I claim 5'1" as my height, but I am a mere 5'0.75"...we are not short, but petite...in the true sense--Kate Moss, Nicole Ritchie etc etc are scrawny.

    Re: Star Wars--The Fussy Eater is threatening to have me sit down and watch the trilogy (or whatever). Unless I can bring my knitting or my laptop, I'm not interested...

    He also takes issue with my list of things said. According to him, I should have included "No" and "I have no recollection of that." I of course, say "No, I have no recollection of those my frequent phrases."

Thanks for stopping by.

I love visitor reactions but not anonymous notes, comments which went one round too many on the spin cycle, part of an inflammatory campaign, or those best left for the compost heap. And yes, comments left by "content marketers" are spam, in my eyes and will be dealt with accordingly.

The recipes I post have worked for me, but if you've had problems, I'll do my best to help. Attacks based on results because you've not followed what I've posted (changed ingredients, cooking methods and/or quantities) won't be posted.

In other words: be kind or constructive, not libellous or smarmy.
