Travel Travel Travel. Listening to my kids laugh and joke at each other. Tango dancing - finally stopped looking at my feet. I enjoy museums, art (not modern), listening to my husband teach, watching people, kayaking, picnics at sunset, reading, challenging conversations, creatively finding ways to keep my prof life interesting, hearing babies giggle - even my own. Still love Karate but the knee is just not gonna go there anymore.Hanging out with my sisters & punk brother on a couch and laughing until we wheeze. This is part of what I think heaven will be like.Hanging with the Book Club Hotties. Yes, I'm in a book club, we really do discuss the book and laugh a lot!I miss my Bible study girls. They have lives now but they'll be back. ;-) I enjoy hanging with The Lost Boys and friends from Sudan. They have been through a lot and know what is important in life - how to cheerish each other.
Beloved family members who went to be with God before I was old enough to really know them. Marilyn Milian - she's sooo cool,
Hymns - old school lyrics with updated music - especially the ones that are not heard much anymore. The deep hymns that describe the accomplishments of God and focus praise on Him. Phil Wickham, Paige Aufhammer, This Holiday Life, Switchfoot are pretty much THE only contemp. musicians these old ears have learned to enjoy. Motown, classical, old rock & roll, music that has meaning and doesn't make me clench my jaw. I do like old theme songs to shows I grew up with.
I have a distaste for graphic movies (violence or otherwise) - you know what I mean. A director is pathetic if he has to state the obvious or use foul language throughout a movie. I mean come on, are there not enough words in the English language to express a thought? Okay, sopranoe's and the departed are an exception.
Growing up TV was our babysitter. TIVO is the only way to fly!I do like sillyness. Silly - slapstick movies are usually memorized in short order. Office Space, Nothing But Trouble, Dumb & Dumber..... pathetic but funny. I belong to a set of sibs who speak in movie script... also pathetic but funny. Okay so I'm addicted to Court Shows - specifically People's Court. Grey's Anatomy, The Office Little Britian Arrested Development is finally in reruns Rescue Me Boston Legal - Who doesn't love Denny Crane?? The Dog Whisperer Halfway House is growing on me
