Well, since my last post was rather scary and depressing and dark, I'll stick with something light and breezy today. I thought I'd take part in the Seven Sevens Meme (what the heck is a meme?), as seen at Mel's blog, among others.
1. Seven Things to Do Before I Die
1. Finish my doctorate.
2. Get married.
3. Live in Europe again.
4. Find a good gellato place in L.A.
5. Have a strong relationship with my brother.
6. Have five babies.
7. Be happy.
2. Seven Things I Cannot Do
1. Higher math.
2. Find jeans that fit.
3. Play baseball (or any sport requiring hand-eye coordination.)
4. Carry on a decent conversation with my brother.
5. Play chess.
6. Keep potted plants alive.
7. Play an instrument. (Darn me for quitting piano in fifth grade!)
(Ok, that's like way symbolic that I can't 'play' on 3 out of 7 things. What does that say about me and fun? ;-))
3. Seven Things that Attracted Me to Boyfriend
1. The second time I met him, he offered to help me. (Apparently he did this to everyone, but I didn't know that, and anyway, that makes it almost more endearing.)
2. Pretty blue eyes.
3. Ability to tease me and make me laugh at myself.
4. Goofball sense of humor.
5. Supportiveness of me and my dreams.
6. His love of children. (Memo to guys: If you like/play with kids, it's Super Hot.)
7. He read Pride and Prejudice, before we started dating, because I love it so much.
4. Seven Things I Say Most Often
1. Holy crap!
2. Grascious me!
3. Well, poop.
4. That's completely inappropriate. (My new psycho-babble word for bad).
5. That must be really hard for you.
6. Are you serious??
7. Craziness!
5. Seven Books I Love
1. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
2. Persuasion by Jane Austen
3. Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevesky
4. The Horse and His Boy by C.s. Lewis
5. Traveling Mercies by Anne LaMott
6. The Book of Common Prayer
7. Dante's Divine Comedy
6. Seven Movies I Watch Over and Over Again
1. Pride and Prejudice (1995 BBC Version)
2. Life is Beautiful
3. Schindler's List
4. Return to Me
5. Love Actually
6. Emma (Gwenyth Paltrow)
7. Italian for Beginners
So, I'm supposed to tag seven people here, but since I don't know seven people, I won't. But feel free to tag yourself!!

I like your list of movies, books and things you say most often! Thanks for playing! (Meme has something to do about things being all about me-me? I'm not sure where that word originated.)
