I got this idea from my friend Anne's blog and couldn't resist it...

Seven things to do before I die
Seven things I cannot do
Seven things that attract me to my spouse
Seven things I say most often
Seven books (or series) I love
Seven movies I watch over and over again (or would watch over and over if I had the time)
Seven people I want to join in, too

Seven things to do before I die
Live several more decades
Learn to play a musical instrument well
Learn to speak Italian well
Conquer my irrational anxieties
dive into a swimming pool
Be optimistic without thinking that something is bound to go wrong because I'm being optimistic
Visit New York

Seven things I cannot do
swim on my back
pick up a spider
parallel park
sit through a church service without at least one mischievous or cymical thought entering my head
wax my legs
hit a rounders ball with a rounders bat
stop talking when I know I'm becoming irritating

Seven things that attract me to Mario
Upper arms and thighs
His incredible patience
the way he lets me be me and do what I like, think what I like, say what I like
His ability to work and do more than half of the household chores
His placid nature
the lovely wine he makes, and pasta & tomato sauce
His dry sense of humour

Seven things I say most often
Gosh
For pity's sake
Michael, we are going to be late
ssshhhhh Isabel
What time will you be home from work
I must stop eating all this rubbish
We've run out of food

Seven books (or series) I love
The Wind in the Willows
Faulty Towers
Wuthering Heights
A Christmas Carol
Second from Last in the Sack Race
Desperate Housewives
Julius Caesar (just one or two of the speeches that do it for me)

Seven movies I watch over and over again
Parenthood
Shawshank Redemption
Life of Brian
It's A Wonderful Life
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Babette's Feast (and it's funny 'cos I didn't know this was one of Anne's favourites too)!
The Godfather

Seven people I want to join in, too (no pressure!)
Sarah
Sue
Carol
Fiona
Aunty Christine
Louise
Catherine
