I Got Tagged!

8 TV shows I like to watch
1. 24
2. Lost
3. The Office
4. The Unit
5. House
6. Sometimes ER – (even though John’s commentary on how unrealistic it is can take away from any medical shows).
7. I used to like Grey’s Anatomy but decided to put the ban on it – it was getting way too trashy
8. Sesame Street? I’m struggling to come up with 8 on this one – Oh yeah, Wipe Out is pretty good, too.

8 things that happened yesterday (I'm cheating and writing about today).
1. Walked Olivia home from school
2. Jackson’s fever and stomach bug from Sunday are gone and he’s eating again (3 granola bars in one sitting).
3. Did laundry
4. Went to Gas Works park - had to take advantage of a sunny day!
5. Got advice from a homeless guy (“I wouldn’t go in there [the picnic area of the park] if I were you. I seen ‘em throwin’ punches back there. Anything could happen. You don’t want to take your kids back there.” (I was grateful for the warning – I didn’t know that was the homeless hang out area of the park).
6. Helped Olivia with letter T homework
7. Decided homemade rolls sounded good so I took too long to make dinner, but didn’t have all the ingredients for the soup to go with it so kind of made something up.
8. We had a very irreverent Family Home Evening on being reverent

8 favorite places to eat
1. Café Rio
2. Filibertos
3. Cheesecake Factory
4. Garlic Jim’s Pizza
5. Culver’s
6. Olive Garden
7. Anywhere that I get a night off of cooking
8. Cold Stone
(I haven’t found many Seattle favorites since we don’t eat out much lately, besides McDonald’s when grandparents are here, but that doesn’t make the list of favorites).

8 things I am looking forward to
1. Weekend – always
2. A new house (someday)
3. The last 10 lbs of pregnancy weight coming off (maybe never)
4. Halloween
5. Christmas
6. Finishing the seat covers for my dining room chairs
7. Vacation - any
8. Snowboarding – last year my big belly held me back – now only the cost of a lift ticket stands in my way!

8 things on my wish list
1. Trip to Arizona this fall (or sometime before my baby’s not a baby!).
2. Shelves in my garage
3. Shelves in my laundry room
4. New clothes shopping spree
5. A maid
6. A potty-trained Jackson
7. A new kitchen (or at least a less-ugly kitchen)
8. More hours in the day!

8 people I tag:
1. Kerri
2. Abby
3. Laura H.
4. Cailean
5. Sarah C.
6. Michelle
7. Wendy J.
8. Carolyn

This was SO fun to read! I feel like a failure because I started to do the tag on our blog and I seriously could only come up with a couple of answers for each category! BOH-RING!!

Nancy Mc said...

Thanks for playing along. It was fun to learn some things about you.

Mindy said...

I love that you are getting advice from a homeless guy. There are nice people everywhere, we just don't realize it.

Belkycita said...

You are so funny!
We also like the Unit and it is nice to know that nice people like it too :-)
We could go shopping together sometime! leave the kids on co-op and find the best deals in town!
$5 knee high boots here we come!!!!!

Michelle Price said...

I'm glad you have such helpful hobos around there taking care of you. I think you should have left your kids with him and went back to watch the action!

Thanks for the read. Your blog makes me want to adventure farther than Fred Meyer. We'll see if I get around to the tag.

the reason I'm still stumped on this is because we don't get a single TV station so I can't get past the first one. Maybe I'll just skip that one!

Carolyn Hanson said...

Fun to read, Larissa. I'll see what I can come up with. Keep you posted....:)

alright, I'm slow as tar, but finally did this and I have to say, it was fun! Haven't made a wish list for a while...
