So, since CJane tagged me and she shortened this from a sevens list to sixes, I've decided I was able to do the same. Nothing like a little peer pressure to make you rise to the challange, right?

3. Lose the last of my baby weight, apparantely.

6. Watch scary, horror, thriller type movies.
Things that attracted me to my spouse:
1. He is downright sexy.
2. For our first date, he made me a delicious pasta dinner and a chocolate cheesecake from scratch. And then, on said date, he spontaneously shouted, "Man, you are like the perfect woman!"
3. I felt so totally comfortable around him.
4. He has an awesome family.
5. He's a really hard worker.
6. He is one of the funniest people I've ever known.
Things I say often:
1. Do you need to go potty?
2. You are such a punk.
3. Leave me alone; I have issues.
4. Do you need to stand in the corner?
5. What an idiot.
6. Oh my goodness.

1. attempting to finish the Old Testament
2. Anne of Green Gables

Sarita-"Things I cannot do: a handstand" Oh, the memories. That one made me laugh. I, of course rock on a handstand. (And used to be able to do push-ups while in a handstand. Impressive, I know.)

and Things I can not do:
5. finsh this list,
6. apparently
Here's my abbreviated list:
Things that attracted me to my spouse:
1. His dimples
2. His crooked pinkies
3. His guitar (and the fact that he could play it and sing at the same time.)
4. Something to do with a grass skirt, a ukelele and the song "Wild Thing" in front of our entire high school.
5. He worked hard on his mission
6. His height
Things I say often:
1. I don't know the answer to that question, Buddy.
2.We only poop in the toilet (I don't say it often, but I said it recently).
3. You're kidding me.
4. I'm tired. (Usually said to myself).
5. What do you want to eat?
6. I have a big butt (again, usually to myself).
Movies I could watch over and over:
1. Steel Magnolias
2. Rudy
3. Hoosiers
4. Top Gun
5. Chocolat
6. Sound of Music (especially the first half).
Dearest Kentucky,
A few things of note:
1. Crooked pinkies? Do I want to know?
2. Was the poop in the toilet comment directed to your son (hopefully)? And, if so, does that mean that he is potty trained? Which, of course, means that you beat me to it and I'm not okay with that.
3. Amen on the first half of Sound Of Music. Once they get to "Climb Every Mountain" I'm a goner.
Jer's crooked pinkies were a birth defect, just like the dimples. He's never broken a bone in his entire life.
Ethan is potty trained. He also does times tables and he can change a flat tire. No, actually, he just decided that he wanted to go in the toilet one day. It had nothing to do with me. Lauren will do the same soon, I'm sure.
Oh, two other movies I left off my list are Karate Kid and Parent Trap (the first one).
Not that anyone asked about the other movies, but I just thought I'd share. I'm in a sharing kind of mood....
Kentucky, You and your prodigy child aggravate me.
As far as movies go, I could add Dumb and Dumber to my list as well as the DVD of the first season of the Office (which is a TV show, but still).
Not on the list of people who should, but need to remind myself today of why I was attracted to my husband of 16 years:
1. He has great legs.
2. Jessica's theme.
3. The Mexican Moonlight.
4. He gave me red roses almost everyday for a month -- who can say no to that?!
5. His sense of humor (does that surprise you?)
6. His "Chevy Chase" Laker's hat.
