The always-insightful and inspiring Mama Kat had some seriously enticing prompts this week. I opted for the first one:
List your life’s Seven Wonders. Describe the most amazing 7 things you’ve seen with your own two eyes.
In no particular order, the 7 Wonders of my World:
1. Putting my hand inside a cadaver.
2. Walking Ground Zero 2.5 months after the World Trade Centers fell.
3. My husband shaving his legs.
4. The Sistine Chapel.
5. Two women in my family – one on each side – reaching their 100th birthdays.
6. My husband donning lycra and spandex (He’s a cyclist. It’s standard-issue.).
7. Kristin‘s dance moves IRL. Her face says she’s as serious as a heartache while her shoulders make me think she’s got some octopus DNA.
Involve your kids in Thanksgiving this year. Check out #KidsTalkinTurkey. Linky opens Monday.

And know, strangely, I feel like I know so much more about you from this post.
Heh. Octopus DNA. That’s pretty good Jostes.
Although I can’t believe I got beat out by a friggin’ chapel. Dude.
I said “in no particular order”.
Hee! Love!
{And a cadaver?!}
Those are amazing. Especially the last one.
You’ve missed the 8th wonder of the world: one that humanity should not be subjected to: the way my armpits look squishing out of those stretch tank tops made for young uns.
No worries: I keep myself out of public viewing in those. Just use them in the winter, to keep warm.
I love your take on the prompt. The funny and the serious.
Kristin has awesome dance moves.
The cadaver thing is so creepy.
Shake whatcha mama gave ya!
I went to NYC 6 months after 9/11 and we saw the site….heart breaking for sure, can’t even imagine 2.5 months!
The Sistine Chapel is definitely amazing, but those dance moves give it a run for it’s money!
I’m envious of the 100s! And loved the video! It was a dance off?! Bonus: I no longer feel self-conscious about the audio recording I put on my post this morning!
Love the dance moves! Almost made me want to get out of this warm bed that I’m in right now while cuddling with my baby and start dancing…Almost.
Ha! The one with your husband shaving his legs is hilarious!
I’ve seen the Sistine Chapel as well–it’s so surreal while you’re there that it seems like a dream afterwards.
Shaved legs and spandex, huh? Got yourself a hottie there.
Your husband definitely is confident in his manliness! LOL Great list.
A cadaver? I’m going to have to go read that one!
Now if we just had some footage of your husband in spandex doing Kristen’s moves…THAT would be awesome. I’ll wait…
LOL!! FIRst of all…the dance moves…awesome!!! cadaver…eww!! Spandex and lycra…gonna need some proof
And ground zero….I can’t imagine how life changing that was. My hubby went a couple years ago when he was TDY with the army in Maryland. He said there really are no words. I would love to someday take my kids…so they can understand a little better why daddy has had to fight in 2 wars.
I’ll put myself using a neti pot on YouTube but I won’t dance. This is awesome.
Awesome list!
those dance moves are AWESOME.
I feel like I now have to go back and add it to my seven wonders!
I’m still so sad I missed those dance movies. Seriously.
I have to say that the first thing on your list freaks me the heck out. But the last one I love. You both got serious moves!
LOL. Fun list – how can it not be when it includes spandex and cadavers
Grrrrreat dancin – whoa!
What was that about a cadaver??
Also, I could watch the clip of you girls dancing over and over. Just puts a huge smile on my face
Why was your hand in there?
Wow, a cadaver? That is crazy!
Ha! Definite octopus DNA.
Your husband? Sounds like a catch.
I wish that Kristin would be there this year to see you two repeat this. Wow – 2 people in your family reaching 100 – that’s pretty awesome!
I want to dance with both of you! Kristin- I dance like that too and my face is always serious. One of these days I will have Dave record me dancing to Just Dance.
Liz- you have lived quite a life already!!
The Sistine Chapel is on my list of 7 wonders! It’s beautiful!
Omg, and Kristin does look so serious dancing! Haha!
This makes me super excited for Blissdom, though I really wish Kristin would be there too.
I don’t live far from NYC and I was up there shortly after the attack as well. It was completely heart breaking.
My wife still giggles every time I put on my bib shorts – spandex shorts that have two straps that go over my shoulders like suspenders.
You can only imagine just how sexy they are . . . I mean, they take Duffy past “being turned on” to “laughing uncontrollably.” They’re that effective.
Loved the video! Are those puppy slippers you have on?? Hard to tell while your dancing feet were moving!
Ha! Yes, they are! I love that you noticed that! They were kinda tricky to dance in, though.
