And Peggy had this one:

8 TV shows I like to watch: Dancing with the Stars, Masterpiece Classic, The Big Bang Theory, Ace of Cakes, Arthur (on PBS), Food Network Challenge, Treasures of the Trust, and Everybody Loves Raymond
8 Things that happened yesterday: At Tammy's place I got her dishes unloaded and reloaded, the wood floors swept, the family picked up, garbages taken out, girls' bathroom cleaned, laundry started, beds made, and microwave cleaned.
8 of my favorite places to eat: The Barn, Olive Garden, PF Chang's, Mi Ranchito, Purple Turtle, Erik's Deli (in Gilroy), Phil's Fish place in Moss Landing, CA. Honorable Mention: Ruby's Diner in San Diego--but I've only been there once.
8 things I am looking forward to: Having Thanksgiving amid Christmas music on the radio already and the Christmas light extravaganza in my yard (and family room currently), finishing the Reflections contest awards night, getting through all the Young Women in Excellence night I get to go to in the next two weeks, summer, swim team next year, The Boy's ordination in the spring, being done with Boy Scouts (I know, it will take a lot longer), and Did I say SUMMER?
8 things on my wish list: One of those CD cases that holds like 200 CDs in a binder (to store photography discs), iTunes gift card, cash is always good, new shoes, book shelves built in with a long ago promised entertainment center in the family room, a finished backyard--finally, and a family vacation.

In nearly all of these fun lists you are supposed to tag more people to continue the lists forward. I think with three at once, I had better not make too many enemies by tagging any of you, but should you feel the need, feel free. I still like to see what everyone would put in theirs. Choose your favorite list and fill in your own answers. My turn as "It" is done.
