Things About Me

I've been "tagged" by my friend Marcie, chain-letter style. In my own usual way of obstinance and defiance, I'm going to do it, but not exactly by the rules given to me.



I'm changing it from 8 things about me, to 6 things about me. I'm boring enough that 6 should be plenty.



6 Things I Did Yesterday:

1. Blow my nose enough that I'm now out of Kleenex and have a Hitler-like-red-moustache, sore nose.

2. Watched "Wives and Daughters," an excellent miniseries based on the novel by the same name. I finished reading the very long novel a couple of days earlier.

3. Folded laundry.

4. Took an afternoon nap.

5. Bought a small piece of jewelry off of television (under $25)- I last bought jewelry off television six years ago, and I love those earrings.

6. Had my first cup of hot chocolate of the season.



6 Favorite TV Shows:

1. Pushing Daisies

2. 30 Rock

3. Good Eats

4. Watching my nephews laugh at "America's Funniest Home Videos" without having to actually watch it myself.

5. The Amazing Race

6. Did I mention Pushing Daisies? Oh, I did? Then Monk.



6 Things I Look Forward To:

I have to mention that I'm pretty content with the here-and-now, but there are always things on the horizon to look forward to.

1. Visiting our families for Thanksgiving.

2. When Nick comes home.

3. Days with perfect weather.

4. Spring Flowers

5. Getting over this cold/bronchitis

6. The birth of our first child in March.



6 Favorite Restaurants:

1. Any place with good sandwiches

2. The Old Spaghetti Factory

3. Zia's (Their toasted ravioli is the best in St. Louis thus far)

4. Pho Grande, a Thai place here in St. Louis

5. Sawadee, a Thai place on South Temple, be sure to have the Mango rice.

6. Arby's. I love French Dipped Roast beef, with some curly fries.



6 Things on my Wish list:

Here, I also want to mention we're pretty content and feel we've been very blessed materially, but someday when I'm married to an attending (Nick in 6 years) there's a few things I'm going to buy.

1. A reliable car with at least four doors, Air Conditioning, where all of the buttons and doors work how they're supposed to, and made in the same decade in which I take ownership.

2. A Vacuum with a hose.

3. A Headboard.

4. A new pair of Dansko shoes.

5. A Bosch mixer

6. A house, preferably not split level and with a fenced back yard and a doggie door.



6 Quirks of Mine:

1. I graduated from Music school, but never listen to music.

2. I take chemistry classes as a hobby.

3. I like to bake, but not cook.

4. I like unloading the dishwasher far more than loading it.

5. I have a dog, but he lives with my mom in Utah.

6. One word, "Karacaine"



The tagging of my fellow bloggers would then take place here, but instead I'll just invite all interested parties to participate. I know I would like reading them on your blogs, but no pressure.
