Finally!

Ok, first I just have to say that it was so fun that Blair did a post. Is he not great or what? He is, that's just a rhetorical question, FYI. I've been meaning to do a post, like always, but I've been a huge slacker in most areas of my life lately, so it logically carried over to the blogosphere. I need to post some great pictures that I took of Blair building a haystack (no kidding!) and some pics from Dylan's wedding. We, or Dallas, actually, took some pretty great pictures down in Fool Creek a couple weekends ago because I thought it would be fun to take pictures in my parents' back yard since it was 5 years ago this time of year when we took our engagement pictures. Weird! So I will also post those. I thought I should also appease Aimee since she's probably the main person who reads our blog and she put me at the top of her list of people who should do a post about 7 things. I'm pretty sure she knows most of these about me since we hang out fairly regularly, but nonetheless...

7 Things I plan to do before I die:
1. Have a child with Blair
2. Read all the books on my list of books to read
3. Go to Africa
4. Do a half marathon--I'm not as ambitious as Aimee
5. Turn into a nicer person--if this could happen magically that would be really nice
6. Pay off my student loans
7. Develop some creative talent in some type of artistic pursuit

7 Things I can do:
1 Draw some pretty good stick figures
2 Waste a substantial amount of time without realizing it
3 Name the lead singers of a fair number of bands
4 Withstand pepper spray in the face, but just barely
5 Appreciate some good poetry
6 Make Blair laugh
7 Act like a kid fairly easily

7 Things I cannot do:
uno- Keep my house as clean as I want
dos- Handle stupid people
tres- Grow my hair out and have it look good
quatro- Be consistent
cinco- Wait to move into a new house!
seis - Whistle a tune (I can whistle a little, just not a tune)
siete- Resist buying cute clothes and/or deco stuff at Target

7 Things that attract me to the opposite sex:
#1 Niceness
#2 Eyes that change color
#3 A great smile
#4 Muscles
#5 Good people person
#6 Athletic prowess
#7 Strong testimony

7 Things I say most often:
1. All rise
2. Really?! (got this one from Aim--it's great for all the stupid crap that happens, especially at my job)
3. Love you
4. Thanks
5. Sure thing
6. Why did I get pepper sprayed in the face? That was so dumb--at least once a day
7. Seriously

7 Celebrity Admirations:
1 Admire, though? Maybe some that I like, but few that I admire.
2 In fact, I can't think of any

7 Favorite foods--This one, on the other hand, could go on and on
1. Vanilla custard-y type desserts
2. Almost anything with cheese on it
3. Creamy potato soup with cheese and dill in it--so good!
4. Almost anything sweet or savory with cream cheese in it
5. Yellow squash
6. Berries
7. Garden fresh tomatoes
