My Lists of Eights

8 Things I Did Yesterday
8. Woke up on my friends couch. (I have slept on so many couches this summer that when I finally came home this week to sleep in my own bed I couldn't sleep and ended up, yep you guessed it, on my own couch!)
7. Went to the Temple
6. Ate a yummy Banzai burger at Red Robin
5. Read a chapter or two in my new swimming to Antarctica book
4. Played Skip Bo (I usually am unbeatable, but lets not talk about how it went)
3. Helped fix food for 300 youth (the food was so yummy! I had some of the leftovers for lunch today)
2. Chaperoned a YM/YW dance
1. Got gas (should have gotten it the day before. I barely, and I mean barely made it to the gas station. Phew-a little too close for comfort!)


8 Favorite Shows
You have to understand I haven't had t.v. in over 5 years. I sometimes check out past episodes of shows from the library and watch them. I was just realizing thatin the month of July I have watched less than 5 hours of TV/movies total.
8. Medical Mysteries (actually I only watched that once but if I had TV I would watch it)
7. The Biggest Loser (kind of a Tuesday night tradition with my friend Cedelia)
6. Trading Spaces type home decorating shows
5. Gilmore Girls (yeah its over, but I liked it)
4. The Chopping Block
3. Prison Break
2. House
1. 24


8 Favorite Restaurants
8. Macaroni Grill
7. Training Table (cheese fries anyone?)
6.5 That one made me remember how much I liked eating at The Train in Heber. The food is pretty good but it really just brings back a lot of good memories.
6. Really my favorite places to eat are not restaurants. They are moms house and Justina's houses. Yum. Nothing beats a good home cooked meal (especially when you don't have to prepare it! I've been very spoiled this last few weeks with the best food in the world with some of my favorite people to eat it with!)
5. Any Mexican food restaurant with good beans. That's what makes or breaks a Mexican food restaurant is the beans.
4. P.F. Changs (but not the one in Tri-Cities. That one made me sick!)
3. There's this little spot in Pike's Market that has these really yummy halibut sandwiches-I love them!
2. Red Robin (a family favorite)
1. The Crab Pot (My very very favorite)


8 Thing I Look Forward to
8. Going crabbing (actually mostly just eating it-yum!)
7. Losing weight (ahh-I've got to stop eating at all those favorite restaurants of mine and stop constantly thinking about food. This is ridiculous!)
6. Finishing my quilt (thanks Dawn for helping me get back going on it. I'm even planning on working on it with mom in the morning.)
5. Spending time with Mark (Even though I just saw him yesterday. The plan is to see him tomorrow too :)).
4. Going to the Ocean again (no plans for it currently, but I love going to the beach)
3. Retiring (well not really retiring, but becoming a momma and being able to stop working and stay at home with my kids. Yeah I know quite a few things have to take place for that one to happen :)).
2. Hanging out with my nieces and nephews (and the rest of the family. This is very much a weekly activity bu it is still one in which I always look forward to.)
1. Going grocery shopping (usually grocery shopping isn't something I particularly look forward to but, if you can believe it, July ends in just a few days and I haven't been grocery shopping all month!)


8 People I Tag
8. Erryn (do you know how much I just love you? I miss you!)
7. Susi (so fun talking to you yesterday. That should have went on my list of things I did yesterday)
6. Jana (did I hear correctly that you are coming back for a visit? Is it an extended visit?)
5. Trina and Sally (mom says you are in town right now. How long are you guys around?)
4. Kristin (I haven't checked your private blog lately, but the last time i did it hadn't been updated in quite awhile. Fix that would ya!)
3. Crystal (while the baby is sleeping of course)
2. Justina (I know, I know, not the kind of stuff you blog about. You have plenty of more exciting things to blog about, but just in case you needed something else. . .)
1. Dawn (or Kate. She'd probably be more likely to do it than you would :))


Thanks for the tag Marci. It gave me something to do this evening!
