Here's my other tag! I got it from m payne. It is another list so I wanted to wait at least a few days after my many listy posts!!
Three things you wish for (just for you):
1. I wish that I had enough money to fly home whenever I wanted.
2. I wish for enough money to not be stressed about money.
3. I wish my family and friends and me were all healthy and disease free (yes, I know that seems like it is for other people but is also selfish. I love them and don't want to lose them.)
Three things you would do to/for you if there was no one to judge you (or if you had the guts.)
1. Buy a huge shelving unit and fill it with all of the art and writing supplies I could get my hands on!
2. Drop everything and take a trip that included: Macchu Picchu, the Galapagos Islands, the Elephant orphanage in Sri Lanka that lets you work there for a month, Iceland, Italy, Canada, Austria (to visit Claudia,) Holland and a Winnebago trip through the States (seein' the sites and meetin' other fellow bloggers) - not necessarily in that order!
3. Have my first facial and day at a spa.
Three bad habits you have.
1. Lazy, lazy, selectively LAZY!
2. Apologizing
3. I'm a paper pack rat - quotes, clippings, recipes, articles, exercises, etc., etc.
Three insecurities you feel:
1. I feel guilty really easily - I'm an apologizer.
2. I'm insecure about my looks - but I'm working on it!
3. That I'm not good enough to be a "Writer."
Three talents/skills you wish you had:
1. I want to learn to Knit. My Oma makes amazing knitted things. I have a kit & I am going to "learn myself"
2. The ability to cook calmly (I don't like it and I get really worked up when I do it.)
3. The ability to drive standard.
Three things you would do if you had more time:
I'm not sure I can answer this question properly. I have SO much time on my hands right now, but I find when I have a lot to do I get more done. When I am responsible for my own deadlines and my own time I am less productive. I have no excuses but I still am not getting everything done. I'm going to add my own question instead: Three things you would do if you had enough money:
1. Fund Melba's conference.
2. Get my website up and running properly.
3. Pay off everyone I know's student loans and my family's mortgages.
Three things that bring you peace and relaxation:
1. Mark
2. Walking
3. Writing
Three things that spark your creativity:
1. The amazing ladies whose blogs I read
2. Great books
3. Writing
Three people I'm tagging:
Hmmm... this is tricky. I'm not sure people haven't done this one before so I am going to tag Jamie, Claudia and Tara Dawn. (Chiquitas: if you don't want to do another tag, I understand!)
P.S. Does anyone else think it's strange that on BLOGGER's website the words 'blog' and 'blogger' are not in the spell check?!
Have a remarkable weekend!!

wonderful list!
i get worked up in the kitchen too. i cracked up out loud when i read that.
perhaps we can find a book on Zen Cooking or something? : )
loves!
Megg,
Your lists speak volumes about the kind of person you are--selfless, generous, thoughtful. I know you'll shrug off that remark, but drink it up, girly--we would all be better off if they were more people like you!
Second,
1. You ARE good enough to be a writer, and you already are an amazing one! Your words entertain and delight so many of us on a daily basis. You prompt us to pause for reflection, and you feed our spirits!
2. I would love to shuffle through your paper collection. I'll bet there are so many tasty morsels in there!
3. I just loved your thoughts about cooking: "I don't like it and I get really worked up when I do it." I love to cook, but I often get worked up, too. It's hard getting everything to come together at the right time. That's why I usually enjoy a glass of wine while I do it!
4. You MUST soon book yourself an appointment at the spa. It is a healthy indulgence and I personally love to be picked at!
Thank you for your comments on my blog, esp. the most recent one about feeling blocked. You so left a calming impression with me--I felt peaceful and less alone!
Thank you, Megg, very much! Happy writing to you this weekend!
P.S. Sorry to hi-jack (spelling?) your blog here!
Fun list, Meg. I relate to so much on there: the places you want to travel, the things you wish for -- the health of my loved ones would be one of mine, too, and I know it does seem a little greedy, but what can we do? They're our wishes! Also, about learning to knit: if at all possible, learn from your Oma. Learn as soon as you can. I'll always be so sad I didn't learn to sew from my grandmother!
Hi Meg!
You are welcome any time!!!
I´ll show you all my favourite shops so you can fill those shelves. And I agree with Cate on all 4 points!
I can't WAIT to see your website Megg! How much longer do you think it will be? I wanted to tell you too the Geneen Roth book was The Craggy Hole in My Heart and the Cat Who Fixed It. It was beautiful- autobiographical, about moving forward in life, despite or because of our losses. Its about her relationship with herself, husband, father, cat- its a very rich book, highly recommended! Melba's conference does sound great too I agree. Perhaps we will all go somehow?
I can help with the knitting!! Next time you're home we've got a date with a cup of tea and some yarn. :) xoo k
Megg, I've been catching up on your writing today, enjoying each post so very much for the way you use words and for the honesty I hear, and I could have stopped at each and every post to make some comment to let you know how I felt connected to what you said.
I prefer reading your words to commenting on them, but I want you to know that I was here and that I am with you on so many levels. Just one of those is my amazement, too, that the blogger spellcheck doesn't know the word blog.
