Eights!

Joanna at The Fifty Factor was doing her best to avoid the tasks at hand and did this meme. She didn't tag anyone but I thought I'd play along, just for fun. You should stop by and see her. She cracks me up! So here are my Eights!

If you want to play along you are supposed to:

--Mention the person who tagged you.

--Complete the list of 8's

--Tag 8 others and let them know. (I'm not naming names either for the tag, so anyone can play along... or not.)

8 things I'm looking forward to:

1) John getting better ( that was a no-brainer)

2) My youngest going off to college this month (4 more weeks but who's counting?)

3) Work to get busy again (summer sucks for the restaurant biz, unless it's raining)

4) Seeing some new movies.

5) Having a girls' night out with my neighbors.

6) Catching up on my bills. (I'm getting there!)

7) The next season of Lost! (I know I have to wait until January. boo)

8) The new season of TV shows. (some of them look interesting!)

8 things I did yesterday

1) Worked.
