Normally when I get one of those "get to know you" emails where you are supposed to fill in the blanks on a number of questions I just ditch them because I don't have time (or I'm lazy) but not today. Today my meeting was cancelled because of STORM WATCH 2008 and the boy is playing joyfully on the floor so here goes, this is for you Jessi.

8 TV Shows I Watch:
1) House
2) The Office
3) 30 Rock
4) Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations (He's so crabby and probably an alcoholic but I still love watching him travel to far off places and eat and drink with the locals.)
5) Psych!
6) Iron Chef America
7) Top Chef
8) Ace of Cakes

8 Favorite Restaurants: I'm also adding what I get at these restaurants because I love food.
1) JAK's (steak medium rare, 1/2 potato cakes 1/2 mashed potato side, salad with blue cheese dressing and a nice big glass of red wine-but not merlot, I hate merlot.)
2) Nordstrom Cafe (Pear and blue cheese salad with champagne vinaigrette.....I dream about you.)
3) The Oceanaire Seafood Room (shrimp, crab and brie cheese stuffed sole)
4) Peninsula Creamery in Palo Alto (Rocky road and peppermint ice cream milkshake, grilled cheese sandwich and fries...lots of ketchup)
5) Tacos Guaymos (2 tacos al pastor and 1 veggie taco and a corona with a lime please)
6) Thaiger Room (Basil chicken, one star)
7) Bing's (Whole wheat french toast-breakfast, Turkey burger with caramelized onions and cole slaw-lunch and cream of tomato basil soup if they've got any)
8) Whole Foods (grilled rustica sandwich with caramelized onions added)


8 Things that Happened to Me Today:(today hasn't been that interesting so far, sorry)
1) Drove all the way to Mercer Island for a meeting that had been cancelled.
2) Didn't check my voicemail before leaving the house. If I had I would have known that the meeting was cancelled, doh!
3) Snuggled with my husband at 5:45am after putting the baby back to bed.
4) Got a call from my mom and watched James' face light up when she talked to him.
5) Got hungry writing the list above.
6) Had to actually wake James up at 8:00am to get in the car to go to the meeting that didn't happen.
7) Used the last bit of my peppermint mocha creamer in my coffee and actually felt a little panicked because I might not be able to get to the store today or the rest of the week.
8) Read Jessi's blog, was challenged to write this list and decided to do it.


8 Things I Look Forward To:
1) Telling people about Jesus!
2) This Christmas because Ryan will be home for almost a whole week!
3) Snow on Christmas morning in Wenatchee.
4) Spending time this Christmas with the Singletary family....especially Meghann who we rarely get to see.
5) Watching our children grow in faith and ultimately give their lives to Jesus. (I say children because I hope there will be more....nope not pregnant folks.)
6) Growing old with Ryan.
7) Living in heaven without satan, sin and death.
8) Seeing Jesus face.


8 Things I Wish For:
1) That everyone I know would give their lives to Jesus, ask for forgiveness of their sins and be reconciled to the Father....and then come talk to me about it!
2) That Ryan and I would always be faithful to the Lord.
3) For my parents to be able to go to India and pick up their daughter soon.
4) To not be afraid of the ocean...yep I'm afraid of the ocean.
5) To know what I'm gifted at.
6) To have more time to read.
7) For it to snow like crazy tonight so Ryan has to work from home tomorrow.
8) A Dyson vacuum cleaner.

Now I challenge all of you who have blogs to do this too (Mary, Nathan, Emily, Megan!!!!!!).
