Nickole tagged me for my 7's, and I thought I'd follow through.

7 things I can do:
-I can play the violin.
-I can love any child, and enjoy the challenge of teaching them to read.
-I can find good in most anyone. We all have mothers who love us.
-I can bake cookies like no other.
-I can sew, I LOVE to.
-I can scrapbook memories, although I'm not as fast and thorough as I'd like to be.
-I can clean my house quickly now. Years of working on tricks has helped me.

7 things I can't do:
-I can't act as irresponsibly as I'd often LOVE to.
-I can't jump rope or hop anymore, my left hip would really suffer from it. I don't want to redo anything. I appreciate a working hip.
-I can't make rolls nearly as good as my mother. OH BABY.
-I can't come up with quick witted sayings or comebacks. Usually I'm just floored thinking...
"Why did you just say that?" "Wow, I didn't even know you felt that way." DUH
-I can't trust my own creative judgment. I usually have to run an idea by someone first before I'll jump in on what I want to do.
-I can't convince myself to give up bread. I keep trying, but I really love it.
-I can't imagine my life without the knowledge of this gospel. I am grateful for it.

7 things that attracted you to your significant other:
-He loves to laugh.
-He loved my mom and little sister.
-He always wants me to find hobbies, increase my talents, spend money on myself.
-He has NEVER had one day without a job or paycheck. Family responsibility was always his and he KNEW it.
-I know I am first in his book.
-He loves to have fun, I'm the "old fogey". He is fun to visit with and be around. He loves the babies.
-He is REALLY good at trivia, I swear, better than Cliff Claven off of Cheers. (I can't get him to enjoy trivial pursuit though.

7 things I say most often:
-5-4-3-2-1 OK students now...
-_________ please put that away.
-Do you have homework?
-What uniform do you need?
-Please get a load in the laundry.
-I really don't know if I can continue at this job.
-Honey, why don't you go to bed.
(After analyzing this honestly, I WILL CHANGE MY SPEECH!!!! I AM A NAG!!!!

7 favorite foods:
-Mom's parkerhouse rolls and hot chocolate.
-Gaila's stuffing and sweet potatoes, on the same fork, same bite HEAVENLY!!!!!
-Mike's beans. Man they are so yummy, with hot rolls and ketchup. MMMMMM.
-crab and melted butter.
-artichokes with hollondaise.
-warm chocolate chip cookies
-HOT Tishomingo Fudge Cake (The top is crusty and yummy!!!!!!)

7 celebrity admirations:
-Glenn Beck. I admire him for standing tall amid this cynical world.
-Mitt Romney It's not an LDS list, but it takes a lot of nerve to run for office, knowing you are going to be ripped apart, and he was, but not much was found. I hope I have that in my life.
-Morgan Freeman is a great actor. I have loved him since Electric Company. I love his freckles, his smile, most movies I think of with him are ones I enjoy.
-Sheri Dew - listened to her in person once, it reaffirmed that our Father in Heaven loves every one of us and has a plan for EACH of us. Try her, you'll feel GREAT.
-Faith Hill - If I could look like one face, yeah.
-Josh Groban His voice is angelic. I said he could marry any daughter, they aren't too interested.
-I get quite cynical about celbrities being famous and paid so much money to "play house" and just repeat someone else's writing. The writer of a good story should be paid the big money, not the actor for just being lucky in the gene pool. I think someone gaining fame for doing something good is much better.

Well, it's been fun, and made me think about myself and how I can improve.
