I'm really behind on all of these shows though because I haven't been able to record them (need more DVD-RW discs!), which means I can only watch them on the internet (which is a pain).

8. Either Texas Roadhouse or Red Hot and Blue


*Favorite Places to Shop (hehe, everywhere...except WalMart)

1. Target
2. Costco
3. Michael's
4. amazon.com
5. Banana Republic, if I could still afford it, Old Navy instead
6. Best Buy
7. Pretty much any store with cute clothes and shoes
8. Any store that carries nice cooking/baking stuff...but again, I can't shop at these places right now

1. Thanksgiving in Utah
2. Christmas in California
3. Andrew's birthday
4. Buying a house
5. The holiday season in general
6. Watching my children continue to learn and grow.
7. Going to see Twilight with the girls.
8. Appearing on Deal or No Deal and winning $1,000,000. Hey, a girl can dream.


*Things on my wishlist:

2. A minivan. Yes, I want a minivan. Desperately. So?
3. Losing 25 pounds
4. Culinary school
5. To travel the world. But especially to at least make it to every continent.
6. To have a baby girl....no, I am not pregnant or even considering getting pregnant, or even ready to THINK about being pregnant again, but I do really want to have a girl. My boys ROCK but I want a daughter too.
7. Cubs win the World Series (though if they couldn't manage to do it this year, I'm thinking it's not gonna happen).
8. World peace....can't come up with anything else, sadly. But this would be a good one, don't ya think? Oooh, I know...opening my own bakery.

7 Random Facts...

Robyn tagged me a few weeks ago, but I was having a hard time coming up with 7 random things (sad, huh?) so I kept putting it off. So here goes!

1. I have to eat my M&Ms in threes. If I'm about to finish a bag and I only have two left, I usually don't eat them. Yes, I'm a freak.

2. I've had at least four root canals that I can think of. I'm going to have dentures by the time I'm 40.

3. I love to sleep. Love, love, love it. Sadly, I don't get enough any more...oh, what I would give for even 5 hours of uninterrupted sleep (though I certainly don't have it as bad as some :). I miss you sleep!

4. Back when I was at BYU I promised I would never live in Texas. And now, here we are...living in Texas. And--gasp--enjoying it!

5. Whenever I drink a bottle of Dr. Pepper (yes, tsk tsk, I know) I never drink the last little bit. It drives John nuts, but I think it tastes bad.

6. I am going to go to culinary school (for the baking/pastry program). I don't know WHEN I'll do it, but I will. And then I will open my bakery.

7. I'm training for a half-marathon that's in February, but I'm discovering that my (relatively) young body thinks it's 40. My shins hurt, my knees hurt....it's awful. When I'm on an elliptical machine I do great, but when I'm running outside and have lots of impact on my shins/knees...yikes. Here's hoping I can get this all figured out before the half-marathon!

Ok, tag... anyone who wants to be is it. Lame, I know. My brain is shutting down though, so that's the best I can do.
