Eight Things
January 13th, 2008
My super-sweet, super-fun and super-awesome friend Raesha tagged me with this meme. I was reading it and thought it was so neat - I had actually planned on swiping it. But no crime was committed since I saw that she tagged me at the end. I’m not going to tag anyone, but rather make an open-tag. So if you wanna play on your blog - leave a comment saying you’re playing.

I noticed there were SIX things on my EIGHT things list. So I added two of my own after the six from Raesha’s. Not very creative on my part - but it’s something I like to read about from everyone else.

January 14th, 2008Awesome, I love this post! And check this: I was at IKEA yesterday, noticed the cinnamon roll mix there, picked it up–it calls for THREE STICKS of butter. THREE. No joke. As my husband says, “they don’t mess around.”

Love your lists! LOL Please take me with you to that piece of land where there is no war & where I can read the Target ad! LOL :)
January 14th, 2008I do love seeing these lists — and that my favorite sayings are some of yours :0). That mention on the HGTV website is way too cool!
January 14th, 2008I love this. It was way fun to read. Thanks for sharing it.
January 15th, 2008Great list!
January 16th, 2008I don’t know that I’ll ever do another meme - mine are SO BORING, and yours is the funniest ever!! I so heart you, my friend! You are the best!! I say many of the things you say, that’s for sure! LOL!
January 16th, 2008I think my favorite is “To witness and live on a planet with no war” - heavy stuff, sister! I agree whole-heartedly.
“Instructions on the Ikea chive sauce mix (WTF??? I need 1.77 oz of butter?)”
Still laughing (read it out loud and now he’s laughing too) :-)
January 20th, 2008That large piece of land with all your family sounds a little like a commune…I’m just sayin’.
I think I will tag myself because my blog just sucks lately and I am out of original material. I will probably lie and say that you tagged me though because I will sound pitiful otherwise.
