4. Own and regularly ride a horse.
5. Live in the bush, without people except my husband and the occasional visitor, for at least 1 year.
6. Feel what it's like to really punch someone. (Except w/o all the negative repercussions.)
7. Have someone drop by, unexpectedly, and not be emarassed by the state of ANYTHING around here (house, chicken yard, myself, etc.).

7. He was attracted to me.

7 Things I Say Most Often

1. Like. "Didn't he look, like, really good?"
