"The hardest to learn was the least complicated."

Fodder for you until I can finish brewing the next blog...

As a nod to one of my all-time favorite people, Toma, I will respond to the challenge:

Seven things to do before I die:
1. Have kids.
2. Ride in a hot air balloon.
3. Travel more - Italy, New Zeland, the world.
4. Learn to speak fluent Spanish and Portuguese (and brush up on my French).
5. Center my faith more firmly.
6. Hug my friends and family a hundred thousand times more - each.
7. Live at least one full day completely (financially) debt-free.

Seven things I cannot do:

1. Kiss my elbow.
2. A cartwheel.
3. Pass up good chocolate or cheese.
4. Root for the Yankees.
5. Whistle with my fingers.
6. Touch my tongue to my nose.
7. Say the names of Billy Joel or Elton John without having to think about it, REALLY hard, so I don't mix 'em up (a la: Billy John and Elton Joel)

Seven things that attract me to blogging:
1. Uhhhhh..who makes these things up anyway? I'm not coming up with seven, but I will say this: I like getting some of my random thoughts out there, I like being funny most of the time and sharing that with whoever wants to know it, and I like the comments I get back. Also, it makes me laugh when my friends communicate via my blog (EMILY AND LAURA). =)

Seven things I say most often:
1. I'm just saying....

2. Fa schizzle!
3. Hi, my name is Kristy, and I'm the child life specialist here. Have you ever heard of a child life specialist before? No? That's OK, most people haven't.
4. OCD
5. like (this is an unfortunate one, I use it in the Valley-Girl sense wherein I insert it in gramatically inappropriate places as useless space-filler)
6. Absosmurfly
7. Y'all

Seven books that I love:
1. The Little Prince

2. The Giving Tree
3. The Velveteen Rabbit
4. The Sound and the Fury
5. Any of the "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" series
6. Where the Wild Things Are
7. The Great Gilly Hopkins

Seven movies that I can watch over and over again (shout out to Toma with the quotes idea):
1. Notting Hill "Did you just say 'whoopsie-daisy?' Because nobody says 'whoopsie-daisy' anymore, except little girls with yellow ringlets."

2. Pretty Woman "Slippery little suckers."
3. Contact "Did you love your dad? Prove it."
4. Annie "Ohmygoodness ohmygoodness!"
5. The Wizard of Oz "Oh Scarecrow, I think I'll miss you most of all."
6. Swingers "What am I going to say? Mom, Dad - I didn't get that pilot. By the way I'm Goofy. Send more money."
7. Robin Hood (Disney cartoon version) "Oh, he's so handsome... just like his reward posters. "

Seven people I want to join the fun:

1. Terence
2. Em (you can do it in the comments if you want)
3. Mom (again, comments)
4. Dad (I know it's a stretch, but it was worth a shot!)
5. Laura
6. Chebra
7. Audra
(and anyone else who wants to!)

Enjoy! I got another one cookin' for ya. Check back soon (ish).
