Marcie's game

Ok--So Marcie had this game on her blog. She assigned me the letter A and I am supposed to list 10 things that I love that start with A.

1. Getting A's. I always liked getting good grades--especially in college. An A was such a good feeling after working so hard on an assignment.

2. Apples and Peanut butter. I eat this almost every day and love it. It started when I was pregnant, but the craving never left???

3. Anne of Green Gables. I loved the books and the movies. My brother even told me to stop acting like her one time when I used a word that I had no idea what it meant. I loved watching the entire group of movies when I was sick and laying around on the couch all day.

4. Alaska. It is such a pretty place and my best friend Sarah Palin lives there. I don't have a great desire to visit because of the cold weather, but I have always thought an Alaskan cruise would be cool.

5. Almonds. I could eat them all day except almond shaped is not so good!!

6. Aticus. She is such a good/bad kitty. She keeps life interesting. Funny story--yesterday I shut her closet doors (where her food and box are) because Emersyn was climbing in there. I was in the room sewing but forgot to open the doors when I quit and left. Last night Atty was driving me nuts following me around and yelling at me. I finally followed her and realized my mistake. I opened the door and the poor girl made a leap for her litter box. She had been crossing her little kitty legs ALL day--what a bad mommy I sometimes end up being:)

7. All of the new things that Emersyn is learning each day. She is standing for longer periods by herself, dancing, waving, starting to say words--mama, dada, hi, hat, kitty. I am not making this up either because even the pediatrician said--Oh my she just said hi didn't she?? She is also starting to eat so many new things--it always cracks me up when she doesn't like something--what a face!!

8. Australia. I have never been there, but I have always wanted to. I also love the way they talk. I have always been a little jealous of anybody with an accent--they just seem so exotic. Plus I would love to have a koala bear. They just seem so cuddly and nice. I am sure they could rip your face off if they wanted, but not my dream koala:)

9. A clean and organized house. I know that is a stretch in the A department, but it is true. My house has not actually been clean or organized for quite some time, but I would love it if it was. It would just feel good to think "what do I need to clean today?" and have the answer be "nothing!" Wouldn't that be so great??

10. The Atlantic Ocean. I have neve been there either, but when I do, that means I am headed to Europe--which is my dream vacation. Spain first--since I was tecnically supposed to get married there but didn't. THEN England. I want to see all of the places I have been reading about for all of these years. The Globe Theater, The Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, oh the list could go on. Then France, Italy.... I would love to go to Creet--just so I could tell Creete I had been to Creet. Who am I kidding--I would love to go anywhere--even Turkey or the Czech Republic.

Well there is my list. I love lots of things I guess, although when I started I thought for sure I would not get to 10. Thanks Marcie!!! Oh Yeah--I forgot Avocados. I LOVE THEM TOO. Maybe tomorrow I should move on to B's because it was nice to remember all of the things I like and not think about all of the things I need to be doing. Like going to find Emersyn right now becuase I am pretty sure she is digging up my houseplants again--or digging in the kitty box--Maybe she is going to grow up to be an archealogist???? Which also starts with A and which I also think would be a cool job!!
