tag, i'm it.

so i was tagged by my friend bethany. oh, bethany.

how to describe her. um...she is kind and gentle. she is quiet when she needs to be...and opinionated when it's appropriate. she is honest. and loving. and best of all, she is a wonderful, wonderful mommy. i am blessed to know her.

here are the instructions for "eight things":
. mention the person that tagged you
. complete the list of eight things
. tag eight of your wonderful blogger friends
. go tell them you tagged them

eight things i look forward to
. pratt talking and putting together sentences. hearing him say his abc's. his 123's. him telling us he loves us. all of it. yet, i'm so scared of it at the same time. scared of him growing up.
. our anniversary trip.
. wearing my true religion jeans again. (shallow...i know. but hey, at least i'm honest).
. a day when my dad doesn't have to work anymore. when he can just go to the races or play golf or travel with my mom.
. being an aunt. or i think more than that...seeing spencer with her first child.
. clint being off on friday. and him not worrying about his business. (does that count as two?)
. my mom's back never hurting her. never, ever, ever.
. growing old with my husband. and loving every minute. well, most every minute.

eight things i did yesterday
. had a cheat at mcdonalds: french fries. i CANNOT resist them.
. nearly crapped my pants approximately 5 minutes later....barely made it to a nasty, nasty gas station bathroom. one that even b.spears wouldn't have gone barefoot in.
. ran into the gas station juggling a child, a diaper bag...all while chanting..."hold it, hold it, hold it!"
. attempted to put pratt on the changing table...but refused when i saw how dirty it was...and i somehow didn't have his blanket in his bag. this led to me....
. somehow using the restroom all while holding an 18 pound baby...who giggled the entire time. yes, he giggled. he's a genius, i tell you.
. lied. (in response to the lady who said, "wow...someone had a dirty diaper"....i said, "yes, he has a BAD tummy ache.")
. bought sugar free gum because i felt guilty about the bathroom incident. i HATE using restrooms at gas stations without buying anything.
. vowed never to eat fried foods again.

eight things i wish i could do
. cure cancer.
. play the guitar.
. learn to sew.
. see my old abs. they were great. and they're gone.
. be a secretary and wear a headset.
. find my best friend whitney a husband. she is semi-responsible for finding mine. it'd be nice to pay her back.
. grow a green thumb.
. be forgiven by all those that i've hurt. that would be great.

eight shows i watch
. any and every law & order.
. the office.
. american idol.
. the view.
. desperate housewives. (i know, i know...)
. the first 48.
. good morning america.
. paula's home cooking/everyday italian EVERY SINGLE DAY. (11 and 1130).

in my defense, i read books too. i promise. i'm reading several right now...i read several at a time. always have. weird, yes.

i tag...emily frost, emily merryman, ashley guilbert, tanna horton, lindsay laney, allie winningham, sarah bell and dannis holland.
