Seven Sevens Game (who comes up with these things?)

BJ at Grace Notes tagged me for the Seven Sevens meme. I'll play because playing is easier than working. And these are off the top of my head, so don't take 'em too seriously.

Seven Things to Do Before I Die (Lord willing):
1. See my children married to people who love God and love them.
2. Go on a cruise (it's booked!)
3. Get back into my size six dresses (hey, I can dream, can't I?)
4. Retire to a house in North Carolina or Tennessee or Virginia--some place with SEASONS!
5. Hold a grandbaby of my own.
6. Go to Italy, esp. Rome and Tuscany
7. Act in musical theater

Seven Things I Cannot Do:
1. Play ball. Any kind.
2. Read a certain best-selling male novelist who makes me cry--because I hate myself for it!
3. Geometry/Algebra.
4. Whistle with my fingers in my mouth.
5. Wiggle my ears.
6. Read a certain chapter of "Unspoken" without crying
7. Tolerate the hunting of endangered species

Seven Things that Attract Me to My Spouse [romantic interest, best friend, whomever](not necessarily in this order!):
1. His height.
2. His heart for God.
3. His heart for young people.
4. His sense of humor.
5. His willingness to eat anything I put on the table.
6. His (sometimes blind) loyalty to me and our kids.
7. His habit of praying with me every morning before he leaves the house.

Seven Things I Say (or write!) Most Often:
1. LOL.
2. :-) (a smiley face)
3. "Uff da."
4. "Char-ley?"
5. "I don't care. Where do you want to eat?"
6. "Sorry, I'm dieting today."
7. "Well, okay, I'll diet tomorrow."

Seven Books (or series) I Love:
1. The Word.
2. Gone with the Wind
3. Jane Eyre
4. The Nun's Story
5. Those tomes by Diana Gabaldon
6. Anything by Dean Koontz in his later years
7. The Spiegel Catalog

Seven Movies I Would Watch Over and Over Again:
1. Ice Castles
2. The Wizard of Oz
3. The Nun's Story
4. For the Boys
5. Eat, Drink, Man, Woman
6. My Big Fat Greek Wedding

Yes, I finished SNOW AND ASHES last month, I think. And though it was a good ending, I, too, wanted more. And then I asked myself, "What are you looking for? Jamie and Claire in the nursing home together?"

LOL. When you're a time traveler, I suppose almost anything is possible.

Love your answers, Angela!

Oh, and Lisa Samson has been tagged by at least three people now, including you and me, so I think it's God's will that she play the game. :)

Just curious...would the male novelist you can't read because he makes you cry be Nicholas Sparks, by any chance? :)
