8 things about me

Both Tristi and Ali tagged me for the same meme this past week. This one was a bit harder for me to decide what it was I wanted to tell you about me, but I think I got it done.

Eight Things I'm Looking Forward To:

1. Getting out the Christmas decorations. I love Christmas decorating. (see last year's Dec. posts) but won't do it before Thanksgiving

2. Getting my grade in class in 2 weeks

3. The changes that I am hoping the first of the year will bring

4. Getting my laundry all done. Which may never happen, because as soon as I am done, someone changes their clothes so I may be looking forward to that for a long time.

5. Seeing my parents next week when they come for my nephew's wedding

6. Painting my bathroom (Tawnya, send me the color name/formula for the color in your upstairs bath please)

7. David Woolley's next post (or book)

8. And last, but the one I am looking forward to the most- the birth of my new granddaughter in the spring!

Eight Things on My Wish List:

1. My kids actually do their chores the way I want, when I want.

2. A good night's restful sleep so I wake up feeling like I have slept

3. Not having to go to work while it is still dark outside

4. Not having to go to work, period. But rather to stay home and be the mom

5. To be in the temple with all my kids.

6. To dance on a dancefloor again.

7. To have a weekend with nothing to do so I can finish watching my DVD of Stargate SG1

8. That Matthew gets enough scholarships to pay for college

Eight TV Shows I Like to Watch:

This category was the hardest for me, because I don't watch a lot of t.v. anymore, but I will try

1. NCIS

2. Criminal Minds

3. Jeopardy- when I remember and can find it

4. The Mentalist

5. Ghost Whisperer

6. Dancing with the Stars

7. Numbers

8. Dr. Phil if I am home in time

Eight Things that Happened Yesterday:

1. It rained.

2. I let Ethan drive home (I need to invest in some Clairol).

3. Trevor fixed the leak in the bathroom and resheatrocked the hole he had to make in the living room wall in order to fix the pipe.

4. Donovan, Kristina and Hunter brought me a balloon at work that looks like this.

5. I bought material to make a quilt for the above girl

6. I sewed some rips in Donovan's camo pants

7. I worked on my paper

8. I went to bed before 11:00

I am now supposed to tag eight of you, but I need to get back to my paper so I am going to tag whomever I can think of in the next 30 seconds

Sharon, Tawnya, Loretta, Karlene, Josi, Candace

Time's up.

I am adding the end of Tristi's post to the end of this one. Because of school, I have trimmed my blog roll down and there are some blogs that I get to when I have a moment to sit and catch up. Because of that, I just learned of some sad news concerning a blog friend from Alaska.

Many of you know Kathleen, who blogs as "So Grateful to be Mormon." She went missing at the end of October and has not yet been found. If you could add her to your prayers, that would be wonderful.
