Seven Things To Do Before I Die:

1. Write a funny, articulate book.
2. Design a kickass building all on my own, with no boss or “helpful” clients, or overbearing coworkers
3. Have a well-received gallery show of my photographs, paintings, drawings, or sculptures.
4. Go back to Europe and see all the places I missed on my previous trips.
5. Become more patient with and accepting of myself and others (except for those real fucking asshats out there…they can just suck it).
6. Get back into the shape I was when I was 25.
7. Skydive (HA!!! Kidding)


Seven Things I Cannot Do:

1. Disguise my annoyance/impatience/disgust/seething hatred
2. Give blood…or even watch anybody getting a shot or giving blood, even on TV
3. Walk in high heels
4. Dive headfirst into water
5. Be in very small, cramped spaces without starting to freak out
6. Sing in front of a crowd (and I mean FOR REAL singing, not the dorky, silly singing I do all the live-long day, much to the annoyance of my husband)
7. Touch a bug, ANY bug, with my bare hands (I am a serial shoe-smacking bug killer)


Seven Things That Attract Me to Blogging:

1. Great writing!!!
2. Meeting other funny, intelligent people who share my sense of humor and general outlook on life…or who have totally different opinions and experiences that I can learn from
3. Gives me a chance to write creatively, which is about as close to writing an actual book as I will ever come
4. I am awful at writing letters, and I DETEST the phone, so blogging gives me a chance to keep in touch on a daily basis with friends and family
5. Gives me something to look forward to every day.
6. The wonderful friends I’ve made, even though initially I thought that “meeting” people on the internet was creepy and scary, and would result in my severed head bobbing in a river somewhere, and a 20/20 expose on the dangers of meeting people via the internet.
