Crazy Eights

So, after reading many people's eights... I was finally tagged! Thanks Alana! :) Everyone else, make sure you swing by her place and check out her little Em's quotables! Totally hilarious!

The rules:

1. Mention the person who tagged me.
2. Complete the lists of 8.
3. Tag 8 more bloggers and tell them they've been tagged.

The lists:

Eight things I am looking forward to.

1. Our New York trip in the fall!
2. My vacation week... in little over a week!
3. hooking up our bbq... we've only had it for a year, but just finally bought a propane tank
4. getting our curtains put up
5. being a mommy some day
6. the next Harry Potter movie
7. the new Philippa Gregory novel due out in August
8. making chocolate strawberry trifle tomorrow for my beloved

Eight things I did yesterday.
