I've been hit! He got me...yes...I've been tagged


First of all, today my son Keegan has finally completed his first post. It is a report on our field trip to Linville Caverns. To the left is one of the many pictures that he has in his report. So do not delay, go read his fun report! (My dad, mom, Keegan, Evan, and me. I took the picture that's why I'm not there.)


Secondly, I'm enjoying Comes a Horseman still. Not done yet. While I was in the middle of a VERY scary scene last night, the lights went out. I had about ten horrible seconds of holding my breath and the lights thankfully came back on. I don't know about you, I sure don't want my last waking thought to be about an axe murderer.

Lastly, none other than the author/blogger and Christian Fiction Blog Alliance inventor T.L. Hines has tagged me. So, now I'm it, huh? Okay. I can do this.



SEVENS


Seven Things to Do Before I Die
1. Publish my book
2. Move away from North Carolina
3. Train my kids to put their laundry in the laundry hamper
4. Ski in Colorado
5. Visit the Bahamas
6. Take my kids to Disneyworld
7. Own a car that doesn't require a chain to hold the hood down
Seven Things I Cannot Do
1. A backflip. I used to be able to do it but no more. Alas, I've gotten too old and too um...rotund.
2. Make a soufflé or spell it...I had to go look that up.
3. Spell. As proven by number 2.
4. Breathe underwater. But my character in F.A.I.R.I.E.S. can. So, HA!
5. Find a publisher. But I am hopeful that one day this will change.
6. Stop my kids from growing. I wish I could 'bottle' time. Howbeit, I cannot.
7. Create world peace. Let's face it, that won't happen until the Anti-Christ starts to rule so...I guess that means I'm glad that I can't do it.



Seven Things that Attract Me to My Husband
1. His skills. Okay, I meant his humor. This wonderful man, Dave, is playing golf on the Monterey Peninsula. Note the floral shorts, "No Bozo's" T-shirt, and the great demonstration of balance.















2. His thoughtfulness.






3. His ability to feel at home wherever he is.











4. His intelligence. Not only does he look smart in a uniform, he was in military intelligence. A linguist in the U.S. Army. He knows German, Russian, Serbo-Croatian, Spanish (from High School), and Greek (from College).








5. Just look at him. Need I say more? He looks adorable even with a flat-top. And now that we are getting older and things like hair decide to leave, he is STILL adorable! Oh, and get a load of those thighs. Yummy.







6. His great artistic sensibility. What taste!







7. His GREAT taste in women. Oh, and cars.



















Seven Things I Say Most Often
1. "I love you."
2. "You're grounded!"
3. "What do you want for dinner?"
4. "Fine. I'll make macaronni and cheese. Again."
5. "Where's my hairbrush?"
6. "Take out the dog."
7. "Go to sleep boys!"




Seven Books (or Book Series) I Love
1. Harry Potter
2. All Jane Austin
3. Dragon Riders of Pern
4. Artemis Fowl
5. In the Hall of the Dragon King
6. Honor Harrington
7. Crystal Singer




Seven Movies I Would Watch Over and Over Again
1. Pride and Prejudice (A&E version)
2. Notting Hill
3. Galaxy Quest
4. Ella Enchanted
5. Star Wars
6. LOTR
7. Anne of Green Gables



Seven Poor Souls that I wish to tag are:

1. Bonnie Wren
2. Jennifer
3. Pia
4. Fred
5. Jen's Horde
6. Running2ks
7. Alydyn

Chaining the hood down, ooof! And mine will be up in the AM :)

Admit it: it was kind of fun. So I really did you a FAVOR by tagging you. :)

And make sure your husband sees your list of sevens; he should be honored, with so much talk of his linguistic skills and yummy thighs.

Jen said...

I did pretty much this same list a little bit ago, you can see it here http://jenanddavin.blogspot.com/2005/09/7-answers-to-7-questions.html

I love how you did the part about your husband!

Kindred Hungarian,

I agree with all your blogger friends, I loved the way you wrote/posted pictures of your hubby...very creative and fun :)

I also enjoyed the 7 things you say most often...my list is pretty much the same...except #4...I say, "PIZZA - AGAIN???!!!"...#5 would read...."BRUSH YOUR HAIR GIRLS!!!"...#6..."Okay, who left this empty juice box on the floor??!" and #7..."Go to sleep KIDS!!"

Thanks again for this post - :)

What a great post! All the pictures are great. It's nice to get to know your hubby so well.

Now, about tagging me. If I don't get to it right away, don't mark me down for a late paper, okay?

Loved Keegan's post, too. He put together a great story. Good lesson, Mom.

Jen said...

Hey again! I posted my "hitting myself with my own car" story. You'd said in my comments that you wanted to read it when it was up, so I'm just letting you know.

Happy weekend!

M. C. Pearson said...

Jean-Luc~ Thank you, Cappie. I cannot wait til the 5th! Party on!

Fred~ Thanks for visiting Keegan. He is loving it. I'll give you a week for the post...then it is 1/2 a grade per day.

Jen~ Going!

Paula said...

Enjoyed this! Thanks for putting it together. How did you like Linville Caverns? Is that somewhere in the Southeast part of the states?

M. C. Pearson said...

Paula~ I loved Linville Caverns. I love caves in general. This one is in North Carolina. On the Blue Ridge Parkway.

julie said...

Hi MC!
I enjoyed your 7s. Ironically, the things you can't do, I can't do either. (Can you hear the song? Anything you can't do I can't do either; I can't do anything you can't do too. No I can't...) Ok, I know I'm wierd...
Can't wait to search the word together!

M. C. Pearson said...

Alydyn~ We have all the Anne of Green Gables on VHS. Yes, we are going to watch the new Pride and Prejudice, I know it could never be as good as the A&E version but I'm excited about it!

Julie~I loved the Sound of Music too. :) No way could you be wierder than I am! I'm going to our Bible study site now...so excited!

Posted this on your other blog, thought I'd copy it here since this one is updated more frequently. LOL!
==================================
Helloooo M.C.! It took me a day to come over and visit but I'm glad I made it. I really enjoyed your story on the Enterprise party.

The PC Christmas Story actually was not my doing, but it was emailed to me by a friend who got it from and friend, etc and so I had to post it b/c it was so true. That last line is a grabber. LOL.

Good to know that there are other Christian writers blogging out there. I'll have to blogroll your blogs on my list. Good luck with the writing.

Nic! I'm so glad you stopped by. I loved your Christmas on the Enterprise. I'm sure we'll become great blogger buddies.
