Old School Blogging

I stop in regularly to visit at Paula's Place.  She has the most interesting topics on her blog.  During the month of July she had one topic called Old School Blogging that drew me in, and so ... here we go with the big 5 of everything ....

Five things I have a passion for:

Family 

(husband, children, mom, sister, cousins, 

they would eat up all of my 5 - so they are under the big topic of "family")

My cats and granddogs

 (they are 5 all by themselves)

Knitting and related crafts

 (knitting, crocheting, weaving, spinning - again, too many to list separately)

Walking

(it is a passion but I wish I was doing it more.)

Five things I'd like to learn before I die:

How to be a more forgiving person.

How to spin wool enough to make a sweater.

How to say "no" without feeling bad about it.

How to take my pills everyday - the way they are prescribed.

How to be more quiet, separate, just "be."

Five Things I say a lot

Sh** on a stick!

Crap!

You know ...

Give me a break ...

Actually ...

Five books and or magazines I have read lately

These will have to be Audiobooks mostly.

World War Z by Max Brooks

Wool by Hugh Howey

The Stand by Stephen King

Pavilion of Women by Pearl S. Buck

Separation of Power by Vince Flynn (a series of books)

Five Favorite Movies

Ben Hur

Alien (first movie)

Aliens (second movie)

The God Father Series

Tucker and Dale verses Evil

(Seriously, check this last movie out on Netflix. It could be described as a corny bad movie.

 Probably is.

 It starts slow, but it builds to the funniest series of mishaps I have EVER watched.  

I laughed so hard I was choking and tears were running down my cheeks. Just amazing.) 

Five places I would like to travel to:

England/Ireland

Canada

Alaska (return trip)

The Grand Canyon

Hawaii

(little chance of any of this happening, but wishful thinking is allowed.)

Five people I invite to do this Meme:

I typically hate this part of any blog event or award -

the inviting of other bloggers to participate and they really don't want too.

So here is where I invite all of you to pick one of these topics

and just share it in my comments section ...

or not!

I'll still love you anyway.

Well ... that was fun.  Try it.
