Eight things

A meme that's been making the rounds, including at Chubby Mummy and Must Be Motherhood. I changed the one about things I like about autumn to my list of crap to do because while I like autumn, I really need the accountability more. And I combined the things on the wish list with the things needed/wanted because really, those seem the same, and I just don't want that much stuff. 8 TV Shows I Love to Watch: (I don't really love watching TV... but I like it on in the background while I do other stuff or fall asleep on the couch. Consequently I miss the end of at least 25% of what I watch. Thank goodness for TiVo.) => Suze Orman Show => Daily Show => The Office => King of the Hill => Breaking Bad => Battlestar Galactica => Living With Ed (has that been canceled?) => 30 Days (canceled?) 8 Favorite Places to Eat: => Shalimar (Indian) => Donatos carryout, especially with the $5-off-a-large online coupon! => Mediterrano Cafe (Middle Eastern) => The cafeterias at work where the chefs hook me up with hummus, vegetarian soups, tofu on the pasta bar, beans for the burritos, and other good stuff every day => Broad Ripple Brewpub, because at least half their stuff is vegetarian => Machu Picchu (Peruvian) => Yats (Cajun/Creole, always good veggie options) => Red Robin or Denny's for great veggie burgers! 8 Things That Happened Yesterday: => Flexed off some work hours to vote and get other stuff done => Bought 11 bottles of wine (I love the new boxed options, both for price and environmental/resource concerns) => Had Yats for dinner => President OBAMA!! => Drank too much wine and fell asleep during the acceptance speech => Cleaned the guinea pig cage => Put the soil back in my pot of mums that some creature dug out => Went to two meetings and didn't get much of anything accomplished in either of them except scheduling more meetings! (Today: SAME THING) 8 Things I Look Forward To: => Wearing fall and winter clothes => Selling my house => Just-planted bulbs blooming in the spring => Marking a bunch of items off my to-do list => Travel => Visiting family => Bonded bunnies => Peace 8 Things on my To Do List: => Replace Jetta glow plug to get the engine light off => Repair Jeep flat tire => Take bike in for tune-up => Organize recipes => Rehome all the crap I don't want anymore => Work with investment guy, make a plan => Administer fluids to my friends' cat => Finish digging out roots and planting shrubs/bulbs 8 Things on my Wish List/Needs/Wants: => New office chair (ideally meeting ergonomic, non-leather, recycled, space demands!) => A clean house => Yakima racks on the car (purchased, just not yet installed) => Co-op membership => New pants for work => New cell battery => Better time mgmt/less procrastination (or just learning to deal with that aspect of myself) => More sleep 8 Things I’m Passionate About: => Animal welfare => Hunger/homelessness => GLBT rights => Peace => Grammar/spelling! => Lessening my environmental impact; sustainability => Adopting, not breeding, pets => Leading by example 8 Words or Phrases I Use Often: => What the heck => Nice driving, *sshole => Are you huuuuuungry? => Casper, shut up. => Did you just fart? => That can be recycled. => You can't do that! => Your mom 8 Places I Would Love to Go or See or Visit: => Iceland => Thailand => Vancouver => Montreal (or was it Toronto?) => The Grand Canyon => Farm Sanctuary => Best Friends => Tropical beach 8 Things I Have Learned From My Past: => Don’t mouth off to people in charge => Don't date anyone at work => People are generally good => Everyone is equal and deserving of respect => Eat dinner as a family (and cook it at home) => Go to college. It's worth it for the experience, the pride/sense of accomplishment, and the extra income! Then push yourself to learn more => Work really hard. It impresses people and gives you a leg to stand on when you do need a break => Listen to your dentist
