30 Days of Lists - Days 2-7

This month I am participating in the 30 Days of Lists. This semi-annual event involves people throughout the world who create little booklets with 30 lists. The variety of layouts and answers for each of the prompts is inspiring and intriguing.

I already posted the cover of the booklet and the first day's prompt (I am Lister Because...) here. So, below I'm including the lists I did for days 2-7.
