Last week, Rochelle tagged me to write a post about 8 Things. I’ve never actually been tagged before, so this was exciting. Really. I’m so easily excited. Anyway, in just a moment, I’ll start my listing (you know how I love lists!).
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
8 things I did yesterday (also known as Wednesday, because sometimes it takes me two days to finish a post):
- 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.)
8 things I wish I could do:
- 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
8 TV shows I watch:
- How I Met Your Mother
- Chuck
- Castle
- American Idol
- NCIS
- Bones
- Grey’s Anatomy
- My Boys
And during the summer, I can add So You Think You Can Dance, Burn Notice and Psych. Is it a bad thing that I can come up with more than eight shows I watch but had a hard time thinking of eight things I did yesterday…?
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!
The end. Please come back tomorrow.
Argh! :P Just kidding. ;) I did it; are you happy? ;) And I can so relate to the not-being-able-to-find-8-things-I-did-yesterday problem! :))
Thanks, I feel honored, so I’ll do it. And besides the fact that I love lists too.
Date night, how fun! What Bible study will you be starting? I’m looking for a new one to do with my friend over summer. Vacation in Florida sounds wonderful. Yay, for saying no to donuts. Rain? What’s that? We could use a bunch here in SD. I want to join you on a Compassion trip… Someday?
Hey thanks for the link for So You Think You Can Dance…I was just wondering when the next season would start! :-D
I’m really boring. You are going to be sorry you tagged me;0)
Oh, I forgot to say earlier: I watched ‘Top Model’ instead of the President’s address. :) So don’t feel bad. ;) In fact, I was at my mom’s at the time b/c I went over to get some stuff out of the basement that had flooded. While I was watching it, some guys came over to inspect the damage. While they were in the room I changed it to the President’s Address, and then one asked what he was talking about or something, and I said I had no idea — that I had been watching ‘Top Model’ but thought they might not want to see it. They said they liked it, so I switched back. :)
Oh, and Busy, you are not really boring. :P Everyone loves your blog — we all think you’re hilarious! :D
Oh, I was also going to say: It’s been 10 years?!? Wow, I just can’t believe that!! When’s the actual anniversary (date)?
(sorry for all the comments! i should’ve said i wish i could remember better for one of my 8 things;)
