Old School Blogging: List of Fives

I’ve been wanting to join this Old School Blogging link-up but just haven’t been able to make the timing work. I mean, who doesn’t love a good meme? 

OK, fine, some people hate them but since I’ve been blogging since 2002, it brings back fond memories of the early days.  And we all know I’ve gotten a little sentimental in my old age so I’m going for it.

If you have no idea what a meme is, it’s basically where everyone answers the same questions and then makes other people do it too.

This month’s meme is called a List of Fives where you share a few lists of five things about you.

 

List of Fives Meme

 

Five Things I Have a Passion For

1. Jesus.  Ok, so I gave a Sunday School answer on the first question.  I can’t help it.  I really do feel passionate about knowing Him!
2. Reading. I’ve realized lately just how much of a reader I am. I read someone’s blog recently which said they were reading their first book in 10 years and I like, couldn’t breathe.  I can’t imagine not having at least 2 books going at a time, much less waiting TEN YEARS for the next one.
3. Writing. If you would have told me I’d list this 20 years ago I would have laughed in your face but it turns out I really do like writing.  I’m currently in a phase of learning about fiction writing and it’s so much fun!
4. Photography. I’m not so much passionate about doing it all just right but I am passionate about capturing moments in photos.  Sometimes I feel like if you don’t get a picture of it, it didn’t happen.
5. Family and Home.  I’m listing this one together because I don’t know how else to say.  Homemaking, maybe?  My heart is passionate about making our house a home, knowing my kids better and raising them and strengthening my marriage. 

Five Things I Would Like to do Before I Die

1. Be a grandmother. I know that’s kind of weird but I already think about Emma and Lexi being parents and how much fun that will be!
2. Publish a book.  OK, so I have Entangled and I’ve technically written a novel but I’d love to publish a book with a publisher.
3. I’m bailing on this one. I just don’t get into bucket lists.  I think I’d sum this one up but saying I want to complete the good works God has for me.

Five Things I Say A Lot

1. Stop it. Not as in kids quit doing that, but as in shut up, you’re kidding me.  I say that when someone says something unbelievable.
2. Some form of put that back, pick that up, clean that up.
3. Oh my gosh.  I say it all the time for all sorts of things.
4. What do you want to eat? All the time.
5. Emma! Lexi! Scott! I’m always trying to get attention from one of them.

Five Favorite Movies (maybe you’ve seen them Five times…)

I’m so not good at movies.  It is rare I watch a movie more than once.

1. You’ve Got Mail is my all-time favorite movie
2. The Proposal (or most Sandra Bullock movies)
3. So lame, but I do love Fast and Furious
4. Breaking Dawn. Don’t hate me. They finally got it right with the last one.
5. 17 Again. It’s Zac Efron and I could watch it a billion times. What else do you want from me?
