Still waiting...in the meantime...

I'm playing a game of tag. Tooj has tagged me with a list of 8's. I decided to play along as I wait in suspense on when a decision has been made on my job status. Here goes...

8 Things I'm Looking Forward To:

1. A decision on whether I have a job or not
2. My birthday - July 24th
3. Getting blinds up on all of the windows at my house
4. my (and my twin sister's) children's book being published
5. Baby Boo being potty trained
6. Being back in Boo's arms when I come home from work
7. Our wedding day AND having a new last name
8. Seeing my parents in North Carolina

8 Things I Did Yesterday:

1. squealed with laughter when Boo stepped on a cockroach and it was revived 4 times.
2. checked underneath the bed 10 times when the presumed dead cockroach ran under it.
3. cooked dinner and relaxed with a glass of wine
4. planned the writers blog for our children's book
5. talked on the phone to a good friend from the old neighborhood
6. fed the kitties at the job
7. reminisced with my sister over our childhood antics
8. cried

8 Things I Wish I Could Do:

1. write fulltime
2. Learn to speak a foreign language and become a translator
3. Make enough money to not stress out so much
4. visit the kids at the elementary school I used to work at
5. adopt a child from another country
6. spend time with my dad, talking to him about his life and childhood
7. Eat Ben and Jerry's ice cream and not gain an ounce
8. Help people that could use the help

8 Shows I enjoy:
1. Grey's Anatomy
2. Project Runway
3. Wife Swap
4. Yo Gabba Gabba and Wonderpets and Little Bill
5. I Love Lucy
6. The Flinstones
7. Little Rascals
8. CSI

If you want to play a long, send me a link so I can read what you're written. Cut and paste to make it easy for you.

WonderPets, WonderPets, we're on our way....Okay, I'll stop. :) Those cartoons are frequent "stops" on the channel surfing. It sounds like you have lots going on to keep you BUSY...and yet, lots of things to do to keep it going. Thanks for playing along!

Woman, don't you dare let anyone, especially "that person" tell you what you can and cannot say on your blog.

If the piece of crap who broke up my marriage tried to tell me what I could and couldn't say, I would blow her out of the water with words that would make her spontaneously combust.

In other news...I love your list. LOL

I hate the agony of waiting, too. Why don't they just decide already?

I love Grey's Anatomy, but I don't get to watch it anymore. I don't even know the on-air schedule of my favorite shows or even if they're still on! That's how long I haven't watched TV, LOL!

I love all your lists! I'm the list queen as well. I already know what I need to do today because I made that list yesterday evening. Today, let's both squeeze in some time for fun, some time to laugh and some time to dance to a good song on the radio. Have a good day and good luck with all you have going on!

Only I....

Only I --- could cut my tongue eating a graham cracker. Only I --- could be the designated pillow for the kitty. Only I --- could cry from hearing O Come All Ye Faithful. Only I --- could eat seaweed for breakfast and convince myself that it is the yummiest snack there is. (Even better than Reeses Puffs Cereal) . Only I --- could develop an allergy to fish after 49 years. Only I --- could have the joy of teaching a classroom of preschool kids in church and hearing them pray. Only I --- could have an epic fail day in the kitchen while making caramel apples. Note to self --lose the recipe for reverse caramel apples. Only I --- would get the same guy twice on the phone wanting to commit suicide - AGAIN. This time, though, he was threatening to take out a few people with him. Scary but true. Only I --- could misunderstand someone that is telling me that they are "packing". She said, "I'm still living here but I'm packing." My re...

My Bucket List

My twin sis and I have bucket lists. The funny thing is that they aren't literally on paper. They are in our heads. For instance, my Nay Nay called me and said, "You won 't believe what I did!  I got big girl shoes…for my bucket list." "Really? Big girl shoes?" I asked. I knew exactly what she meant. When we were born, and back in the day when braces could or should be recommended for feet that in-toed, we weren't given that joy. As a result, walking in high heels can often be a challenge. My Nay Nay decided that she was going to cross off one thing on that bucket list and found a deal of 10 pairs of heels. (Not one but 10. She went for the gusto.) Each day, she practiced walking in her big girl shoes until the moment finally came and she ROCKED those heels! Together we have decided that we WILL cross off stuff on our growing bucket lists. Some of those things are on both of our lists while others are our very own "personal" bucket lists...
