Haven't we had enough 8 already?

8 Fave TV shows:


1. Amazing Race (the only reality show I've ever considered subjecting myself to applying for)

2. Lipstick Jungle (representin' for Cashmere Mafia too. RIP)

3. Man vs. Wild  - and boy is he.

4. The New Adventures of Old Christine - LOVE Elaine, and laughing so hard it hurts. Perfect combo

5. Extreme Makeover Home Edition : my weekly dose of happy tears.

6. Survivor - STILL can't get enough

7. The Office - how could this not be in your top 8? What's not to like?

8. Pushing Daisies. love love love


8 Favorite Restaurants:

1. CPK - cause we'd wither away and die at our house without Kids Curly Mac and Cheese.

2. Chipotle - been a faithful follower since the Irvine conception. Yumm-o.

3. Beach Pit - little slice of heaven in Newport Beach.

4. El Cholo - Only the originals in LA. Something happened when they moved to Irvine.

5. BJ's - never in my life have i been willing to surrender body parts for dessert b4 BJ's. Pizzokies are a life experience everyone should have.

6. Northwood Pizza - Just call me wt. i don't care. How many of you can walk 2 minutes for hot, fresh, yummy pizza. AND have a cute boy smile at you while he hands you your call-in-order cheese pizza?

7. Benihanas: many happy memories...

8. Hali'imaile General Store: on the road to Hana. Amazing gourmet oddity in the middle of the jungle, in the middle of Maui. I'd buy a plane ticket just for a meal here. 


8 Things that Happened yesterday:

1. Sat inches from a Clydesdale horse's butt for a ride down Main Street, Disneyland. I felt like an ignorant tourist...but kinda liked it!

2. Watched my kids polish off their 900th plate of DiDi pasta. Gag. Don't know why they still fancy the stuff after this many years.

3. Took a bath. With fabulous grapefruit bubble bath from Origins (i could die a happy woman in that store). Had to wash away the smell of horse butt.

4. Fed our newest addition to the family: Aladdin, our blue/black Gourami fish. Caleb's cannibal Gourami (Tigger) killed and ate Trey's previous fish, Genie Blue Train. 

5. Wasted like 3 hours on Facebook.

6. Got my boys' clothes out for church and thought how huge they are. Why do they have to grow so fast? 

7. Didn't do laundry (I was on Facebook, remember?). 

8. Walked across the street to Northwood pizza where a cute boy smiled as he handed me my call-ahead order of a large cheese pizza. Pretty good end to a pretty good day!!


8 Things I am Looking Forward to:

1. Christmas. I LOVE seeing my kids faces when they open their gifts. That's my favorite Christmas gift.

2. Caleb being at least 40 inches tall so we can FINALLY ride some decent rides together at Disneyland!!

3. Trey being 46 inches so he can ride Indiana Jones already and stop asking me every day if he's tall enough and please measure him again to be sure. 

4. Summer - I miss the warm beach and Wild Rivers. Flip flops, sunscreen, tan little backs, shorts, and sunhats. Everything that is summer in Southern California.

5. Going to the temple. Doesn't get any better. Well, it does, but not here.

6. 24 Hour Fitness Group Expedition. We get new choreography, and I really need something new. It's been WAY too long.

7. Twilight Monday with the girls. Giddy giggle...

8. NO MORE DIAPERS!!


8 Things on my Wish List:

1. IKEA kids round table.

2. Own a home (don't care where).

3. New couches (11 1/2 years and still counting).

4. Weekly date nites.

5. Snowboarding this winter. And being able to take Trey with me. I think he'd rock the slopes.

6. Vacation with the whole fam. It's been quite a while...

7. The people I love to know how much I love them. 

8. To finish the New Testament b4 2009.
