8 Things

I got tagged!
A mother I love to read over here got me with the 8 Things tag. I feel like the unpopular girl who got invited to the party, only there’s no unhappy ending or buckets of pigs’ blood (not with the rampant swine flu striking down dozens, no siree!). I am too damn lazy to tag eight people though, so hopefully I will not be cursed with the Broken Chain Letter curse, whatever that may be.

Anyhow, here are mine:

8 Things I’m Looking Forward To
1. Jellybean’s 1st Birthday
2. The trip to Cincinnati the following week
3. Learning more about the person that Jellybean is becoming
4. Working on being the kind of mom she needs me to be, and seeing how I’ll continue to change
5. Christmas (I am ALWAYS looking forward to Christmas, what can I say – we’re almost halfway there!)
6. The trip to Canada this summer
7. Putting away all my winter stuff in my closet
8. Finishing this damn conference call

8 Things I Did Yesterday (Sunday)
1. Went to Wal-Mart
2. Sewed a ‘Muno’ for Jellybean’s birthday
3. Baby laundry
4. Ate 3 cobs of corn in 3 minutes (seriously, the first naked cob was still steaming when I finished the last one, Bean watched in horror and hid her fingers from me)
5. Watched the first half of ‘Beerfest’
6. Ate ½ bag of candy jelly fruit slices. I love those things. I’m a little white trash. And a little bit rock ‘n roll.
7. Emptied out assorted toxic diaper repositories from around the house
8. Picked shredded pink tissue paper out of my work shoes and Jellybean’s mouth

8 Things I Wish I Could Do
1. Read. Other than when I’m on an airplane.
2. Sleep in
3. Spend more time with The Bean
4. Lose weight
5. Make my budget work
6. Have more patience with my parents
7. Move closer to my family
8. Watch a movie in a theater
