Tagged!

Crystal tagged me for this one, so I will try hard to think of 7 things in each category :)

7 things I’d like to do before I die:
1. Publish something.
2. Maybe own a beach house around South Beach. In a quiet part, though. Not right on Ocean Drive. Maybe Biscayne Bay.
3. Own a yoga studio.
4. Maybe have children.
5. Maybe become a massage therapist (so I could offer massages at my yoga studio. Also, I think it's cool.)
6. Maybe ride my bike for a long, long distance.
7. Continue patting dogs a lot.

7 things I (currently) cannot do:
1. Curl my tongue. This is genetic, so I'll never be able to do it. It's ok, though.
2. Whistle.
3. Tolerate Jessica Simpson.
4. Understand people who watch "The Bachelor" or "The Bachelorette."
5. Knit.
6. Drive along the super-cliffy parts of the northern California coastal route.
7. Drive a standard shift.

7 things that attract me to blogging:
1. I like to write.
2. Blog friends :)
3. Reading other people's recipes.
4. Reading about other people's love lives.
5. My blog is a secret from some ;)
6. It helps me sort out my thoughts.
7. Seeing pictures of other people's dogs.

7 things I say most often:
This is hard. I talk a lot, but I don't think I repeat much. I could put the 7 things I most often call my husband, but it would probably embarrass him terribly.

7 books I love
1. Harriet the Spy by Louise Fitzhugh
2. The Accidental Tourist by Anne Tyler
3. The Amateur Marriage by Anne Tyler
4. The Undomestic Goddess by Sophie Kinsella
5. Shopaholic and Sister by Sophie Kinsella
6. A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth
7. Carrie Pilby by Caren Lissner

7 movies I watch over and over again:
1. Napoleon Dynamite
2. When Harry Met Sally
3. Love Actually
4. Bridget Jones's Diary
5. Pretty Woman
6. The Wedding Singer
7. The Lost Boys (OK, I love vampires, as long as they're not associated with Anne Rice)

7 people I’d like to pass this on to:
Lisa was already tagged by Crystal, otherwise I'd tag her too!
1. Liz
2. Bdogg
3. New Mezger
4. Kim
5. KitKat
6. Carolyn
7. Zombieslayer

I will definitely do the memo this week.

I made a potato, zucchini, spinach soup today. When I pureed it in the blender, it looked seriously scary.

You don't like Anne Rice! We'll I guess that's why they offer books of all types. While I don't love some of her more recent books I love her Vampire and Witching Hour Books

I like the Undead series by Mary Janice Davidson.

The soup tasted okay after I added lots of cheese. Kinda defeats the purpose of healthy eating, huh?

I wonder how it would be with sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes.

It had zucchini, spinach and onion so I'm not sure about that. It came out looking like vomit. If it had sweet potatoes in it, it would be speckled vomit. Tasty

Sorry, I did this tag already a long time ago.

5. Maybe become a massage therapist (so I could offer massages at my yoga studio. Also, I think it's cool.)

Now, this would be awesome. I'd love to get a massage after doing yoga.

I can't tolerate Jessica Simpson either. I don't even find her attractive. And yes, I would kick her out of bed.

Zombieslayer - Good for you! I wish every guy was like that.

I am ashamed to say that I watch the Bachelor, and I don't understand it myself.

Vegetable personalities

At the risk that you'll all think I'm nuts...but heck. I was getting cauliflower ready for dinner and it occurred to me that vegetables have different personalities. In my mind, anyway. Zucchini: the most agreeable of vegetables. It blends in with everyone, but it's never obsequious or false to itself. Sweet potatoes: the grandmother of vegetables. Very cozy and welcoming. Cauliflower: kind of bland, devoid of personality, but it could surprise you sometimes. Like a dull guy who occasionally tells a funny joke at the water cooler. Broccoli: feisty. Like a terrier. Spinach: kind of dour, but a loyal friend. Kale: has a fierce sense of individuality, but like spinach, is a loyal friend. Kale's affections last for life. Corn: this one is kind of a party animal. Corn is still drinking beer and making a mess when you'd like to be closing up. Tomatoes: a little sloppy. The kind of vegetable that needs to be reminded to tuck its shirt into its pants. Cabbage: not invited t

The return of Rudolph

Rudolph is our small furry friend, whom I've never seen. He visited the kitchen last night while D was up late. I know this because: 1) A large sonic device is plugged in right in front of the crack between the oven and the wall. The sonic devices in the living room have kept Rudolph away from there, his previous hideaway. Apparently the cracks between appliances and the wall are harder to reach. 2) The mop has been moved from the hall closet to the kitchen closet. This means D tried to capture Rudolph. 3) A turtle magnet I haven't seen in a while is now on the fridge. That means it fell behind the oven and D found it during his interactions with Rudolph. (I am praying hard that Rudolph is a boy, since we don't want to find many small Rudolphs.) What makes me feel better about this whole thing is that mice are apparently everywhere this winter; even my brother has had problems with them. And this little guy seems to stay behind the oven and only appears around 4 am (only D

happy birthday e!

[Posted by Bearette's husband until she has Internet access] e was born today! 8 pounds even, a cute and healthy baby boy. He likes to stick out his tongue just a little, and move his mouth around. The hospital gave him a little white hat with a purple pom pom. Bearette is tired but happy. Pictures soon.
