Old School Blogging: Lists of Five

I did it. I hit the "New Post" button and away we go!

Summer has been busy for me, so as I peruse 89 emails/blog posts in hopes of catching up today, I came across one from the wonderful Alison from Writing, Wishing and her post for an Old School Blogging link-up with Elaine from The Miss Elaine-ous Life.

She extended an invitation for bloggers to play along with her in creating a list of fives. It looked pretty easy and I have been thoroughly enjoying reading all the other fine bloggers and their lists as well; so why not!

AND I just-so-happen to love lists, and the number five, so I am all set to bust open my post-less summer with a little listy-poo for your enjoyment! I would love to see what would be on your list too! Leave me a comment or post a link to your own Lists of Five!

                                                                                                                

Five Things I Have a Passion For

(1) My Family - Its big, its beautiful. Every layer is important to me, kind of like a Dairy Queen ice cream cake.
(2) Myself - Until recently, I haven't cared much about myself, but I have turned a corner and I am in the beginnings of a really passionate relationship with ME!
(3) Cooking - I probably should have went to culinary school. It's not too late, but I might be too stubborn and proud to hear someone tell me I can't cook, so I probably won't do it. But I love it!
(4) Graphic Design - I am a closet/wanna-be designer. I love to create and fiddle and distort. It keeps me focused and sane.
(5) Words - I love to read and write. There is no better place in the world than inside the cover of a good book.

Five Things I Would Like to do Before I Die

(1) See the Pacific Ocean - Living on the Atlantic my whole life, I want to see the opposite. To me, the Pacific is the Ying to the Yang of my Atlantic. It must be seen; toes must be dipped.
(2) Experience a Flash Mob - These fascinate me. The work that goes into it, the beauty of it, everything.
(3) See my daughters fulfill their dreams and find happiness - which hopefully involves love and children. I want to be Nanny Kate before I die.
(4) Meet Oprah Winfrey - I know, it's not realistic (AT ALL) but this woman has helped me so much. I want to kiss her and hug her and thank her (in person).
(5) Live on the ocean - In a beautiful beach house with big windows and airy-sandy space. There needs to be sand in the cracks of the living room floor, and air freshened by salt spray. My dream.
