So Susan tagged me to do the whole “Seven 7’s” thing. I don’t have much time since I’m trying to leave for Orlando tomorrow, so most of this is off the top of my head: :-)

Seven 7’s

Seven things I hope to do before I die:

• Visit Greece
• Get married and have a family
• Be able to start my own business as a graphic designer for missionaries
• Learn to be a truly godly woman
• Visit every state in the nation
• Hike the Inca Trail
• Make a difference in other people’s lives

Seven things I cannot do well:

• Be self-disciplined
• Clap while singing (I can’t keep a beat!)
• Take tests
• Arrive on time
• Say “no” when people ask me to do stuff
• Take care of – or enjoy – kids
• Stop talking

Seven things that would attract me to my future husband:
(Although I tried not to do this, this also is a list of things I love about Paul)

• His love and commitment for God
• The way he compliments my personality
• His patience in even the most frustrating situations
• How “real” he is – not trying to always impress me or show off
• His willingness to listen to me blab on and on and on… and on…
• How he treats others with respect, even people who are “lower” than himself (socially)
• His wisdom and maturity

Seven things I say often:

• “I have to go – I’m late!”
• “I’m watching my TV show; don’t bother me!” :-p
• “I can’t believe what that driver just did!” (what can I say, I live in Atlanta…)
• “She’s a beautiful girl, he’s a handsome boy” (talking to my kitties)
• “Why won’t you just approve your ad???” (not speaking directly to the customer, of course…)
• “I sleepy” (my grammar goes down the tube when i’m tired, too)
• “I love you” (to Paul)

Seven authors, books, or series I love:

• Anne of Green Gables series (L.M. Montgomery)
• Chronicles of Narnia (C.S. Lewis)
• Mary Stewart books (especially “The Moon-Spinners” and “The Ivy Tree”)
• The Secret Garden (Frances Hodgson Burnett)
• Tale of Two Cities (Charles Dickens)
• The Cat Who books (Lilian Jackson Braun)
• The Count of Monte Cristo (Alexandre Dumas)

Seven movies I watch over and over again:

• Holiday Inn & White Christmas (I can watch both many times during the month of December)
• Pirates of the Caribbean
• Phantom of the Opera
• Moulin Rouge
• Beauty and the Beast (Disney version)
• Ocean’s 11 and Ocean’s 12
• Some of the 80’s movies I grew up with, like “Richest Cat in the World”, “The Leftovers”, and “Short Circuit”

Seven people I want to do this (in alphabetical order, of course):
