Tagged!

Okay, so I'm a little behind on my tags(thanks Abbie!:)) So here I go on a little 8 fun...
8 TV shows I like:
hmmm..this is a hard one cause I really only watch childrens shows like Super Readers and Sesame Street, but if I did watch more TV for myself...
1.Dancing with the Stars...if you know me you know why. On the movie Girls Just Wanna Have Fun when she says, "I love to dance" That is so me. I am not a good dancer, but I can do a killer sprinkler..ask my Young Women
2.The Office..I love love this show. I think it is hilarious!!!
3.The Bachelor...Corny, I know, but whatever right?!
4.C.S.I. Random, but I get so into these types of shows. If I could get myself to read, I'd probably read stuff like this.
5.Monk..HaHa. This is tribute to my father, but I have continued enjoying his O.C.D.ness all the same.
6.Matlock. Again, my father. I loved watching it with him and still secretly turn it on every once in awhile while Coop is taking a nap and I am cleaning or something.
Sadly, I think this is where I end. I mean I'll watch Oprah or Racheal Ray, but not totally addicted to them.
8 things I did yesterday:
1.Woke up at 4:30 a.m. to take some of my Young Women to the temple to do baptisms for the dead. It is a crazy early hour of the day and its sometimes hard to get up, but I absolutely love it. The girls amaze me.
2..Taught my Power Pump class. I teach at the AF Golds Gym and love it!
3.Babysat my friends kids. We have them through the weekend. They are 10,8, and 4. Super good kids too!
4.Did a couple loads of laundry, packed for the weekend stay at my friends to babysit, straightened my house in a little over an hour. Not bad.
5..Ate enough calories by snacking constantly all day to undue any activity I have done. I was on one...chips, cookies, M&M's, nothing too good for me.
6. Cooked dinner and made cookies which I partook of a little too freely..haha!
7.Played Roar! tag with Lacy(the 4 year old) and Cooper off and on all day running through the house, up and down stairs, laughing my head off at how stinking cute they are. (if you don't know what Roar tag is, come spend an hour or two with Cooper. He loves to have you hide or "Run for your life" as he says, as he runs after you scaring you with his ferocious Roar!)
8.Went to bed with Cooper in my arms at 10 o'clock. All that tag must have wore me right out! I love being a Mom!
8 things I'm looking forward to:
1.Christmas. I love Christmas. It is even better now that I have a child to get all excited with me. I would be okay thinking there was still a Santa Claus! I get so excited about giving gifts, the parties, the friends and family around, the lights, the food. I mean its fabulous!
2.Trek next summer. I never got to go when I was a youth and missed out in my last ward cause I had just had Cooper. I think it sounds like a great experience.
3. More children. I have been trying to get prego for a bit now with no success. I hope I have more up there cause I would love to have like 3 more or so.
4.February. We are doing a big Missionary Month with our youth that is quite involved. I am excited to participate and see how the youth grow, hopefully, from the experiences we have planned.
5.A night or two away with Clint. I would love to spend a little time with my love, just the two of us away from it all.
6.Clint to have a job. I love him around, but he is going nuts. It is also a little stressful not knowing where we will be in a month or so and how long til we have money coming in and insurance and all that lovely grown up stuff.
7.Tomorrow. A new day. I just kinda like that sometimes.
8.Getting my Christmas shopping and presents done. I am horrible at procrastinating. I like to make homemade things too and I can't wait til last minute cause then they just stress me out and never end up as good as I want them too.
8 of my favorite restaurants:
This is kinda hard for me. I mean are we talking favorite restaurant for a salad, for dessert, for main dish food. It makes a difference, honestly. Do you think I love food too much? Maybe think about it too much? Hmm...anyway...in no particular order...
1.Sweet Tomatoes
2.Chuck a Rama. I know I know, I call it Upchuck ususally, but I do love it. I get a fresh salad bar that I love with a little other and dessert. I love that I don't have to set on a dish like at a regular restaurant. I like that I can have a taco, some turkey, nachos, and mashed potatoes and thats okay. Also, it is great with kids too.
3.Bajio. I love that darn Green Chile Chicken Salad with corn, salsa and their ranch dressing. YUM!
4.Paradise Bakery. I really enjoy their chx artichoke panini and a chocolate chip cookie to end it off. How fabulous is that!
5.Ruby River. I love a good steak, that thing they call a baked potatoe with all the breading and salt. Yummy.
6.Cheesecake Factory. A perfect meal for me there is a side salad with their ranch. It's a little spicy and they have all these shredded veggies on the salad, Avocado Eggrolls(they sound slightly healthy but really they are totally fried and fabulous!), and then a vanilla bean cheesecake slice for dessert. YUM YUM YUM
7.Panera is one I have loved and miss from Chicago.
8.I don't know the name, but a little Greek place in San Diego. My friends and I used to go there all the time. The gyros can't be beat, and the hummus and pita bread! SO GOOD! I miss that place and crave it more than any other place. If you know of a fabulous little Greek place, please let me know...
8 things I wish for:
1. Eternal life. I know I'll get it, but I want the best kind. The one where I live with Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ again. The one where my little Kate is. The one with unending happiness. Sounds great to me, just gotta get there.
2.More children. I don't know if this means adopting or just being patient til the time is right for me to have another one, but definitly more hopefully.
3.A house. I love living in my brothers basement. I love hanging with them and the friendship we have strengthened, and I love our ward. I just would really like a home of my own..above ground. I love the sunlight coming in through the windows, the garden to grow, the weeds to pull, the lawn to mow...haha, thats funny! I am totally rhyming. I am somewhat writing a fairly corny little poem. Anywho...yeah, a home.
4.My family to be happy and safe and healthy.
5.To be a better, more happy and uplifting person.
6.To become better at not procrastinating
7.To know the scriptures better.
8.This last one could be a selfish one filled with lots of temporary stuff like clothes, a treadmill, and other stuff that really doesn't matter, but we all have on our wish list(at least I hope I'm not the only one that thinks of this kind of stuff too)
