Tag of 8


I don't do these tags much or really never! They can be rather time consuming! But I decided to do it because I was officially tagged by cute Molly, and I think it's fun for the kids to read. What the heck, it's fun too! I won't tag anyone although feel free to do it if you so choose! Does anyone read this anymore with FB becoming so popular?

1. American Idol
2. Dancing with the Stars
3. John and Kate Plus 8 (Some may think Kate is a bit harsh but I think she is amazing, so organized and just real!)
4. Little People, Big World (Who doesn't love the amazing Amy Roloff?)
5. Burn Notice
6. The Office
7. Extreme Makeover, Home Edition
8. Food Network shows…Throwdown, Good Eats, Iron Chef

8 things I did yesterday:
(This won’t be too exciting. I was really sick yesterday!)
1.Helped get the kids off to school-sort of. Brandon went in late to help me. Phew!
2.Took a nap-basically dying on the bed!
3.Went to the Dr. (Anyone heard of “It’s just a virus!” Ug!)
4.Watched the clock for Brandon to come home…tick, tock…tick, tock…
5.Ate dinner.
6.Watched The Bachelor finale. Didn’t watch the entire season…just the finale.
7.Read to/with the kids.
8.Said prayers with Tanner.


8 favorite restaurants:
1. Brick Oven
2. Macaroni Grill
3. Bajio
4. El Azteca (you can’t find better Mexican through a drive-thru!)
5. The Italian Place
6. Chili's
7.Los Hermanos (This never used to be my fave place, but it has really grown on me, and my kids love it!)
8.Chick-fil-A. Yup Chick-fil-A. We never go there because for one there isn’t one close by with a drive-thru, and secondly they fry all their food in peanut oil (two of my kids are allergic) so when I eat it, it’s a real treat!

8 Things I'm looking forward to:
1.The next time I can take the kids to D-Land…they are dying to go again, asking everyday…and let’s face it, ME TOO! Hopefully for sure this year!
2. A.I. tonight
3. Summer!
4. Going back to Hawaii someday…I love that place.
5. Going to New York City. I‘ve been to the Statue of Liberty, and all over this great country, but would like to go into the city, shop and see a show or two.
6. Megan’s dance performance in May. She is adorable, a great little dancer and loves it!
7. Although I’m not one to wish time away, I will say this has been a rough year with the twins coming home at noon for the entire rest of the day! They play…and then fight….and then play…and then fight! Let’s hear it for 1st grade!
8.The Daylight Savings “spring forward”. I love daylight in the evening until way after 9:00! That’s the best!


8 things on my wish list:
(this is strictly a temporal list!)
1. One of those fancy schmancy front loading washer/ dryer sets.
2. A laundry room to use them in that isn’t in the basement of a 5 level home. To say it’s been a thorn in my side would be an understatement!
3. A new van or SUV with a DVD player. We’ve never had one in our van.
4. A big ole’ fancy wide flat screen TV.
5. A nice matching bedroom set.
6. A big garden jetted bathtub.
7. A nice home office.
8. A time-share condo type of a thing where we could travel more and stay in fun places.
A girl can dream!

That was fun to read. I'm with you wanting the washer/dryer and a big ol' laundry room to put it in. Yes, I still read this, I can't get FB to work on our computer with our filter.

It was fun to read and get to know you better. It is funny. We have some of the same dreams. haha

That's great!! I am amazed at how many of us enjoy the food network. We have a DVD player in our VAN - very nice, until 2 days ago! Something is stuck and now it won't work. I don't want to pay $500 for the dealership to replace it, so a friend is coming on Friday to take it apart and see if we can get it working!! It's a bugger!! Oh well...I loved the rest of your wish list - I am right there with you!!

I'm here.... I hardly ever blog anymore these days... you are so good at keeping up. What a great mom you are! I have a lot of the same wants / dreams. I have a front loader and I wish I could soak my clothes in it.. maybe the newer ones you can now, so I miss that.
