Another MEME challenge

I was tagged for another MEME challenge this week, by Sue in western Washington. It's taken me several days to think about the answers, but here goes:

5 things to do before I die:
1) Own my own horse.
2) Get paid regularly for doing something I would do without getting paid (something artsy).
3) Learn to speak, or at least read, a foreign language.
4) Somehow, acquire a green thumb so I can grow tomatoes like my grandmother used to.
5) Clean my bedroom clutter so the kids don't have to.

5 things I can do:
1) Teach religious education to children (I'm a 3rd grade volunteer catechist)
2) Stitch! Most anything, but especially embroidery...
3) Cook. I don't always enjoy cooking, but I love to make soups in the winter.
4) Read. I'm a voracious reader; it's like breathing to me.
5) Make people laugh.

5 things I cannot do:
1) Function well without caffeine.
2) Play chess. And I refuse to learn.
3) Do math in my head, except for percentages, like "this fabric is discounted 40%, how much is a 1/4 of a yard?"
4) Be mean to anyone on purpose.
5) Speak a foreign language, yet.

5 things that attract me to the opposite sex:
1) Good sense of humor.
2) Intelligence.
3) Integrity.
4) Loyalty.
5) Facial hair (only one is superficial--that's not too bad is it?).

5 celebrity crushes:
1) The Rock
2) Hugh Jackman
3) Vin Deisel
4) Adam Baldwin
5) The late, great Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin

5 people I want to tag for this challenge:
1) Lauri Burgesser
2) Susan Nixon
3) JK
4) Trystan Popish (send me an email, kiddo)
5) Lesa Farmer

And, by the way, who the heck is MEME, and why all the challenges?
