Crazy? 8's

It's been a while since I was last tagged, but, Joanna got me! And so, here it goes, my lists of 8...

Things I'm looking forward to:
Another night off with my husband tonight and
a long run with Krista in the morning.
Rubin saying, "Mama,"
and sleeping through the night.
W.O.W. and
the 2010 Disney Full Marathon.
A second annual Mexican getaway for 2 and
true family vacation for 5 next summer.

Things I did yesterday:
Yoga with Katie and Jessica and
a bike ride with Theo.
Had Smokey John's barbecue for dinner (root beer floats for dessert) with the M-M family and
watched Gran Torino with Dave.
Ate green peas and
drank green tea.
Laughed and
cried.

Things I wish I could do:
Shave a minute off of my mile, keeping the pace up for 13 miles and
headstand without a spotter.
Have four GNOs with Becca, Erin, and Norbyah, in each of our cities and
have a date night with Dave in each one, too.
Master white balance and aperture and
pick up that macro lens.
Build (by myself) Theo and Emmett a train table and
a beautiful arbor for our yard.

(I think this is where things were supposed to get "crazy." The last topic was "Shows I watch" which didn't really seem to fit with the other topics? and there is NO WAY I can come up with 8. And so, I'm mixing things up and changing the final list to...)

Things I will never do (and I NEVER say never!):
Give up drinking Coke or
eating chocolate.
(Oooooh, I've never gone here before...) Vote for Sarah Palin or
Hillary Clinton.
Become a vegetarian or
a veterinarian (I'm running out of ideas, here...)
Give up on my children or
my husband.


Now, YOU are it! Leave your 8s in my comment section OR let me know there that you are going to post them on your blog. I'm anxious to read YOUR list. (Yeah, I'm talking to YOU!!)

I learned some good tidbits in there about you! (What's W.O.W?)

And it's on my blog... but maybe you knew that?!

Except for the "never dos" since that is a new category and all... ;-)

I like your nevers though... and if _that_ is the presidential race in 2012, I'm moving to Canada. Or Korea. Just saying.

Wow! Sara Palin AND Hillary?!?!?

And you can shave a minute off of your mile, just keep going to Yoga, lift some weights, and keep doing the sit-ups, Lady!
Loved your photos on Flicker, especially the yurt in the backyard at night. Just beautiful.
