I saw this on a blog of a woman that really inspired me. It is just a list of "Seven Things", and I am a list fanatic. So here it goes:
Seven Things I Plan To Do Before I Die:
1. Run a 7 minute mile...it was the only thing that held me back from the Presidential Physical Fitness award in Jr. High...oh yes, and the flexed arm hang. I guess I have to practice that too.
2. Get my MBA.
3. Learn the Harp (I actually took lessons for 2 months and played a number in our Sacrament Meeting Christmas program...I just need to buy a harp and continue my lessons)
4. Have 4 children (that is my goal since I am 33 and have been able to have 1 in 7 years. If I keep up the pace I could finish at age 54 unless I have multiples which brings me to my next one...)
5. Have twin boys...or triplets (not all boys)then I do not have to be 54 to have my last child.
6. Take Drew to the Holy Land.
7. Learn to sew curtains-or anything. I am taking lessons this fall, finally.
Seven Things I Can Do:
1. Bake Bread.
2. Love People.
3. I am a good speaker
4. Play every hymn except "As Zion's Youth in Latter-days".
5. Water ski on one ski.
6. Speak Tagalog, and a little Mandarin, and a little Ilocano, and a little Kapangpangan, and a little German, and a little Japanese, and a little Spanish, and a little English. I actually took lessons in all of these languages, though the gift of tongues is definitely not mine.
7. Serve a volleyball really well.
Seven Things I Cannot Do:
1. Lie.
2. Act. Somehow I feel like I am lying when I do.
3. Sew.
4. Draw.
5. Say no.
6. Scrapbook.
7. Organize.
Seven Things I Say Most Often:
1. You are the best!
2. I love you!
3. Holy Cow!
4. The Church is still true. (despite what I was doing at the moment)
5. What in the world!?
6. Sweet!
7. Yeah, verily.
Seven Celebrity Admiration's (Okay, these are celebrity in my mind-I could not think of many celebrities that I truly admired beyond thinking they were really beautiful, or I liked a character that they played):
1. Flora Benson (Ezra's wife).
2. C.S. Lewis.
3. Matthew Cowley.
4. John Groberg.
5. President Eyring.
6. Mother Teresa.
7. Mitt Romney.
Seven Favorite Foods:
1. Garden Peas.
2. Sugar Puffs.
3. Tofu.
4. Mangoes.
5. Filipino ulam and rice.
6. Darkest of Dark Chocolate.
7. Hires Veggi Burgers (makes me feel better than eating the real deal).

Also, I was so glad to see you had Palin's speech up. I started watching it, then couldn't figure out why it kept stopping fifteen minutes from the end. Anyway, I guess I'll have to go and find it on youtube to finish it out.
The really funny thing is I was reading this intriguing thread on Segullah (http://segullah.org/small-epiphanies/sarah-palin-yeah-im-going-there/) last night, thinking, "Wow. I guess I really need to study up on Sarah Palin." (I'm pretty in the dark, politically) when I got to the end of the thread and noticed the time stamp. "Wait a minute. TODAY'S September 3rd! I could have been watching her speech RIGHT NOW." Yes. I'm Clueless. Nice to meet you, Candice.
