But first, I want to encourage you, ask you, beg you (!) to come back tomorrow. I know most people check out of the blog world and into real life on the weekends. I do, too, and I think that’s great. But tomorrow, I’m going to share with you some of the most touching posts I’ve read about this week’s Compassion trip to India, and I don’t want you to miss it.
And now . . . (drumroll, if you like) . . . The Lists of 8 Things.
8 things I'm looking forward to:
- Date night with Mark tomorrow. We’re finally using the movie passes I got for my birthday (in December)!
- Finishing Annalyn’s scrapbook in a couple weeks at my monthly crop with my friend, Christelle
- Smitty finishing her teaching program and moving back home
- Going to Columbia for a weekend getaway to celebrate our 10th anniversary
- Starting a new Bible study with our small group (We’re plowing through our current, church-mandated study now – I’ll just say that it’s not what we would have picked!)
- Vacation in Florida this summer
- Seeing Annalyn take her first steps
- Season 5 of So You Think You Can Dance
- Ate a bagel for breakfast (Not donuts, thankyouverymuch, and that’s my point.)
- Sent several press releases to various newspapers across the country
- Went home for lunch to see Mark and Annalyn
- Talked to the CEO of our company about a new project
- Complained about the rain
- Watched reruns of Will & Grace instead of the President’s address
- Halfheartedly watched the American Idol results show (Why can’t they just say who’s kicked off and let us get on with our night?)
- Read a couple chapters of In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day (Already I can tell, this one is going to be life-changing.)
- Lose weight
- Spend more time with Annalyn
- Dance
- Develop my photography skills
- Pay off our debt
- Go on a Compassion bloggers’ trip
- Sell our house
- Move to Nashville
- How I Met Your Mother
- Chuck
- Castle
- American Idol
- NCIS
- Bones
- Grey’s Anatomy
- My Boys
8 bloggers I tagged:
- I’m not going to tag anyone, because I don’t want anyone to feel obligated.
- However, if it makes you feel special, then maybe I should tag you.
- I’ll start with Chelley, Mel, Busy and HM. Then I’ll add Amy, Brenda, Erin and Kimberly.
- And then I’ll feel guilty for not tagging every single one of my readers.
- So I’ll consider deleting this whole list.
- But then I’ll decide that I just want to get this post posted!
- So I’ll ask forgiveness from everyone – those who were tagged and are now annoyed, and those who were not tagged and are now sad.
- Then I’ll say that I think if you want to use this meme on your blog, just go for it, tagged or not!
