Ah ha! I know we're not twins because I am usually on time. But other than that? Very similar. Although I don't plan on having a funeral. And I don't know anything about horses, except for having read this book in Lippizaners (sp?) a lot of times when I was young.
Thanks for playing, and for tagging people I would've tagged, too.
Eeeek!
You know what's toughest about this? I have to make it at least a little bit funny.
First, blowing glass would scare the bejeepers out of me because I would be worried I would suck in.
Second, the fact that you know there are similarities and differences between Arabian horse strains means you can check that one off your list. No really, I'm the judge ;)
Plan songs? Really? I'm much more morbid. I told my Aunt that *God-forbid* anything made me need a plug to pull that she was to make sure it gone done. Yeah, I think she was overcome with the warm fuzzies. I know Bob won't do it and I don't think you can ask your parents. In the same conversation I told my mom she better hope she is never on a machine because I will be pulling plugs until something stops! No really, it's my kind of humour ;)
There are people who clean without getting angry?
I love 5 and 6 under Things you say. I may be forced to steal it. Also, when asking someone how they are or what is wrong and they answer 'I don't know' I follow up with, 'is there someone else who knows?'.
Hey, am I still talking!?
CindyS
uh oh.
Ok!
What an honor! But the number one thing on my list of "Seven things I cannot do" is make lists. I'm hopeless. (Hmm, number two might be using full words when a contraction is available. I can't remember the last time I typed "cannot".)
Why not nominate someone else and catch me in another go-round? Plus, I don't think more than three people have ever visited my blog, so who would I tag? :-)
O go ahead, P. Devi. Play along?
PUweese??
Don't worry about who to tag...
Wanna come out and play?
