Ten on Tuesdays: My Shakespeare Plays

This is the Twelfth Night of my blog (seriously!), and I want to be a Passionate Pilgrim and really try to do 30 posts in 30 days.  Ironically, it's been a Comedy of Errors, and I don't want today to be Love's Labour Lost, so I'm going to give this "Ten on Tuesdays" things a stab.

What would be a quick, easy Top Ten for me?  As I look to the shelf to my left, I see my collection so Shakespeare's works.  I don't want to make Much Ado About Nothing, so I'm going to let you Take this as You Like It:  my Top 10 Shakespeare plays.

1. "King Henry IV, part 2"*
2. "King Henry IV, part 1"*
3. "King Henry V"*
4. "King Richard III"*
5. "King Lear"
6. "Julius Caesar"
7. "Romeo and Juliet"
8. "The Taming of the Shrew"
9. "Hamlet, Prince of Denmark"
10. "The Tempest"

To be fair, it's hard for me to Measure for Measure because I haven't read them all.  But all of you Merry Wives (of Windsor) reading my blog out there, don't get all in a Tempest.  This isn't a Lover's Complaint.  Maybe I'll work on rounding this out over the next couple of years...

I wish I were off to a Midsummer Night's Dream, but unfortunately this is more of a Winter's Tale.  I'm going to go to bed now, or there might need to be some Taming of the Shrew at 6am prayer with 2 Gentlemen from Verona, err, I mean people from my church.   Oh well, All's Well that End's Well.

*These plays form a collection called the Henriad that tells a consecutive story.  The Henriad is my favorite of all of Shakespeare's work, so those four as a collection really made my top four, more than as individual plays.  

Right Now -Or What to Do if You Don't Have Any Other Post Ideas

I stole this from my friend Kristin who apparently stole it from others, who stole it from others, etc.  Thank you Kristin, et. al., for the blog post idea. :o)

Right now I am:

Watching:  Scrubs Season 7

Eating:  The last thing I ate was an Insomnia Cookies' Chocolate Chip Cookie

Drinking:  Probably Diet Dr. Pepper, really anytime you ask me ever.

Wearing:  The Encounter T-shirt from this year.  Headed to bed and it's comfy!

Listening to:  Elton John's "Levon" (which is one of my favorite songs, and it just came up on my shuffle.  sweet.) Oh wait, it just transitioned to "Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac, which just doesn't seem to get old, even though its protagonist does

Avoiding:  unloading the dishwasher, because that will lead to having to do the thing I'm even more avoiding, loading the dishwasher

Feeling:  Great.  Same ol' Same ol'

Missing:  Some great friends that I wish were still in Columbia!  (That's you Christi's Now-Not-Senior Bible Study... City High Y'all).

Thankful:  That even though I was in a fender bender today, no one was hurt, and life moves on

Weather:  Uh, it's been so gross, chilly, and rainy in Cola the past few days

Praying:  Just been telling the Lord I love Him lately.  Sometimes you've got to get that off your chest before other things.

Needing:  To go to bed (after loading the dishwasher).  But really, like a lot of new donors for my ministry

Thinking:  about how I'm going to get the books I accidentally had shipped to my G-ma's in WV down here to SC; she called me tonight and said one of them showed up in a "vanilla envelope"

Loving:  Being outside at night!  The past 3 night's I've had this weird impulse to hang out outside at night.  Seriously, Saturday and Sun night I went for runs in the dark and then on Sunday night tonight I sat outside in our lawn furniture.  It's these great crisp nights!  Boo for the dreary, chilly days though.

If you haven't found a blog home of your own yet, but you would like to answer one of these questions, leave it in the comments.  Mi casa es su casa for this one.
