Tag Seven - just a number?



In keeping with my belief that things have  away of swinging your way at opportune times, this arrived from Dear Suburbia, who has awarded me this lovely 'The One Sweet Blog' award and it comes with a tag for a meme - a '7's meme. I have had a bad head since 2am Saturday morning apart from a few hours respite yesterday afternoon in the garden whilst pruning the naked bushes, I haven't spent any productive time this weekend. So showered, relaxed and for the moment free from pain, I will try this meme. 

So here we go:


7 Things I plan to do before I die:

Be happy

Live in the moment more

See my kids happy & healthy

Travel more

Open my own Vintage clothing store or book shop ( I know its a non starter by I am a dreamer!)

Live a while in France/Italy

Go back to Art College

7 Things I do now:

Blog/Internet too much

Moan too much

All round work too much 

Worry too much

Sigh too much

Waste too much time

Am not reflective enough and so not grateful enough (although innately I am )

7 Things I can't do:

Contentment

Be patient

Do as I'm told

Cook, write, paint like my Mum

Stop being afraid

Stop eating chocolate

Keep the house/kids/husband/dog/rabbit/garden/car/work colleagues in working order/tidy/well mannered/and just say yes to me once in a while!

7 Things that attract me in the opposite sex: 

Great sense of humour, sounds trite but without it, well sorry!!

Great smile

Intellect

Open mind and big heart

Great with kids, pets, parents

Good flexible appetite

Good fitting jeans (you know what I mean!)

7 Things I say most often (to the children, so most are rhetorical!)

Aren't you going to wear a coat/scarf/gloves/longer skirt/something to cover your bum/tummy/boobs/neck/face?

Have you enough money? (well DUH stupid!)

What time will you be home by? (and so I add on 45 minutes before I phone them) 

Have you had enough/something to eat/drink?

I don't care, she/he isn't my son/daughter!

I'm fifty, I'm allowed!

May I have the remote/my mascara/varnish remover/ tweezers/hairbrush/dryer/straighteners/tights/bathroom/ my life back now!(and that's just my son!)

7 Celebrities that I admire:
Well, if you don't mind I will just consider 'celebrity' means people I admire, the term 'celebrity' is now too generic and diluted to 'mean' anyone worthy. Sorry I'm ranting!

Brian Sewell, art critic - so funny! And often right, when given to explain!
Vivienne Westwood, fashion designer - kooky, glamorous, individual
Tracey Emin, Contemporary artist - misunderstood, intelligent, funny, creative, survivor
Alice Sebold, writer - survivor, inspirational, read her books & autobiography and you'll understand why.(lucky, Lovely Bones, Almost Moon)
James Frey, writer - recovering alcoholic, addict, survivor, inspirational, read his memoirs and you'll understand why, ignore the hype, the accusations it goes with the story.
Amy Winehouse, singer, song writer - I LOVE her voice & her music & lyrics, they move me. I hope the writing isn't on the wall.
Nelson Mandela - need I say more!

7 Favourite foods: (in any order)
Raspberry Pavlova/ Eton Mess
Steak au Poivre (medium rare)
Chicke Tikka Masala
Steamed Salmon flllet
Chocolate (will eat any but LOVE Galaxy)
Traditional Christmas Dinner
Anything my mum cooks 4 me!

7 Bloggers who l'd like to do this but nobody really needs to do this, but I'd like to pass the award to you anyway and so would be interested in the answers from:
BS5 'cos he has good sense of humour and may not mind being a token Domestic Goddess for a day!
Moannie, if she fancies and Family Affairs and Hadriana if she has finished with her accounts yet!
Working mum on the verge though now its the end of half term she won't have a moment to herself again, Suldog and Sass - One strangely lush mother


Like a moth to a flame...

Everything changes, nothing stays the same, so the saying goes, and yet here I am in a space where nothing has seemingly changed; it is just...
