8 Things I am Looking Forward to:

1. Summer Vacation and lazy days around the pool. Love the sun!
2. Date night with Romantic Hubby. Can’t come soon enough..craving some quality time.
3. Taking the girls to see the Hannah Montana Movie. They are so excited about this flick.
4. Our next vacation to Florida. Maybe the next vacation will be in our very own vacation home. After 10 years of renting it may be time to buy! Fun!
5. BlueEyes next Gymnastics meet. She has been working so hard, I’m one proud Mama!
6. Buying some new summer clothes. Winter be gone.
7. Easter with the family~should provide some good blogging material!
8. Trip to Paris and London. Sigh. A girl can dream right?

8 Things I wish I could do.

1. Magically lose 10 pounds.
2. Travel 3 or 4 times per year.
3. Get over my irrational fear of the dentist.
4. Find just 1 more hour in the day.
5. Protect my babies from the mean girls of the world.
6. Speak another language.
7. Write a book.
8. Take another photography class.

3. The Big Bang
4. How I met your Mother
5. Desperate Housewives

      Oooh I’m so sorry! I missed this entire post! My face is red now. LOL!

      Great Lists with many similar things! Daytime soaps — I didn’t even think to put General Hospital on my list!

      Have a great day!

      Enjoyed my visit with you and reading a few of your posts! I don’t fear the dentist; I just downright don’t like them!

      You wish you could find JUST one more hour in the day? I wish I could find about five more, minimum. Thanks for the tag! I will try my best to play but I have little bit of catch up to get done. All three of my kids are sick. Yay 🙁

      I’m gonna do mine Monday.

      Another soap-watching girl–yay! I wish I could go to the dentist for you–I have no fear and an extremely high tolerance for pain. Imagine the money I could make if I could market that?

      Thanks for tagging me–I’ll take you up on the challenge.

      XOXO

      Oh Suzanne! I feel your fear! Good luck with that dentist issue. Can’t even make myself say those r.c words. LOL

      Suz So Far we have half of our money back that we lost on our rental fiasco. I will keep calling her and e-mailing, but it does not look good. She is one of the reasons we are thinking of buying our own home. Can’t help but think after 10 years of renting we know how renters like to be treated. With a little honesty and respect!

      I love your lists…how exciting that you may get your own vacation home…this is the TIME TO BUY. (and thank you for stimulating the economy when YOU do buy!!)
      I will get on this tag this week. Thanks for including me.

      ps. Did you ever get your refund from the first vacation house?? I can’t remember how it all turned out for you.
