Numbers tag, you're it. . .

1 Thing I'm looking forward to:
hanging out with my family next weekend (all work and all play, right?!?)

2 Things on my wish list:
free maid service for life (so far I'm not learning to love housework)
a gourmet chef (although if my maid did the dishes, I'd probably love cooking)

3 Favorite restaurants:
Azteca (even J. likes the food there)

Subway ($5 footlongs make me happy)

Pizza Hut (delicious childhood memories!)

4 Things that happened yesterday:

I did housework (dishes and laundry mostly)

I held C. while she napped (love that!)

we ate tons of caramel popcorn (thanks Bev)

I drove J. and his friend to a birthday party

5 TV shows I love to watch:
The Office (love the real/unreal characters)
Super Nanny (boosts my mommy self-esteem & offers fun tips)
The Daily Show (because ALL news pundits need to be yelled at)
ER (on again off again with ER, but I'll watch the last season)
Random DVR-ed HGTV shows with a "before" and an "after" (gives me good ideas & hope for my own "after")

6 people I'm tagging:
Maren (because I like reading your blog)
Jamie (ditto)
Amy (ditto)
Logan (ditto)
Crystal (ditto)
