Departure from the Norm: Do Wive's really know their Husbands?

I'm going to answer Eric's tag, and let's see how well I really do know him. I thought this might be fun to get some of "momma's input". He can correct the ones I am wrong about, or elucidate further...

#1 Three Things I can't do:

-Keep track of a cell phone
-Close Cupboard Doors
-Massage Ann's feet more than 1 minute

#2 Three Things I think you should listen to:

-Your father's excellent advise
-The prophet Eric yes but actually Sacrament meeting every sunday whether you want to be there or not
-Your conscience

#3 Three Things Not to Listen to:

-Satan
-Negative Thoughts
-Asking yourself "what if?", or second guessing yourself. Once you make a decision, stick with it, until or unless it is proven manifestly wrong Eric Yes: almost there but I would tweak this a little bit. If you have a big problem and it consumes you. Think it out, come to a conclusion. Imagine the worse thing that can happen and think it through. When you are done figure out a solution or how to deal with it. Make a decision that is sound and you are at peace with. Then later that night or the next day or whenever you start to obsess about the problem again, remember that you have thought it out and come to an answer. Concentrate on that answer and resist the impulse to rehash what you have already resolved.

#4 Three Things I'd like to learn

-How to sail a large round-the-world blue-water sailboat
-How to sing like Pavarotti
-How to never get another ticket/fender bender Eric: not on my list I would add as number 1 here "whats in the sealed plates- easily number one"

#5 Three Things I watched as a kid

-The Fugitive Eric: nope "The Wizard of Oz" eagerily anticipated every December, this was before VCR's we got to see it once a year my all time favorite movie growing up I have every line memorized to this day.
-Leave it to Beaver Eric: nope "Captain Kangaroo" everyday got up early to watch him
-Sargent Bilko (sp?) I love Phil Silvers

#6 Three Things I regret

-For being so inpatient
-Not taking my girls fishing and hunting (got to some with Kaisa, not so much with the other girls)
-Not buying more property 20 years ago Eric: nope, I would have given more compliments to my kids growing up but am trying to change that

#7 Three Things that scare me

-Rats Eric: yeserree
-Scary Movies
-Sad things that can happen to my kids

#8 Three people who make me laugh

-Steve Martin
-That funny guy on the radio Scott got me into Eric: yup that would be Phil Hendrie
-All my family while Playing UNO with them Eric: more particularly Ross!

#9 Three things I love

- My family
-The Gospel
-The Book of Mormon Eric: yes but Moroni in particular
-Trees (and all plant life)
-My Geese

(Sorry, more than 3, but he loves all these so much, I had to put all them in! Could actually come up with so many more!)

#10 Three Things I hate

-Arrogant people
-People who stop their cars to allow people in while driving Eric: yes they think they are being courteous but what about the line of traffic behind and all the people there that are late. They are being courteous at someone else's expense. Now if it was Ann wanting to get in or one of you that would be an exception.
-when people drive on my newly planted lawn or plants Eric: I would tie this with scaring the geese away that on the fields

#11 Three things on my Desk

-My Book of Mormon
-A picture of Paige
-A pile of books a mile high

#12 Three things I'm doing right now

-Watching "Charlotte's Web" to see Aerlind's name and get ideas for my barn Eric Yes: I saw it Aerlind Flynn Janzen producer baby
-Scrolling through ebay, looking for historical relics and buys
-Eating popcorn, red licorice, and drinking either Tab or Coke Zero.


There, I've done my bit for blogging. Love reading everyone's blogs, they are so enjoyable! Had to do a little bit myself, thought this would be fun. Love to all family reading Dad's blog, and wonder how close I actually got to some of his 3 top things? It'll be fun to find out!
