8/8/08 Part 2

My friend, Tawni did this post and I thought it was more fun than the one I did, so I thought I would it too.

8 things I did today: (For more details, see previous post, but this list will be what specifically I did)
1. Ate cereal for breakfast for the first time in over a month. Usually I eat cereal every day, but lately I have been loving toast with peanut butter and raspberry jam. I love hot peanut butter. My favorite way to eat Reese's Pieces is when they have sat out in the sun and melted inside.
2. Brought lunch to my sister at work.
3. Went to the bank.
4. Watched Dog the Bounty Hunter.
5. Ran errands with my sister.
6. Ended up eating out at IHOP instead of having soup. We were out running errands and got hungry. Plus, JoJo had a gift card, so it's free!
7. Gave the girls a bath and got them ready for bed.
8. Took care of the girls all day. Gotta give myself some credit somewhere, right? Stay at home mothers really do have a hard job!

8 of my favorite foods:
1. Fat Jacks fat sticks (it's a pizza place's awesome cheesy bread)
2. Popcorn
3. Soup
4. Water and Pepsi
5. Turkey Divan
6. Arby's French Dip and Swiss
7. Homemade Chocolate Chip cookies
8. Derek's no bake cookies (seriously he makes them like no other can!)

8 of my favorite movies:
1. Bed of Roses (From the late 80's, Christian Slater. If you haven't seen it, you need to rent it. It's my all time favorite Love story)
2. While You Were Sleeping
3. Any Harry Potter
4. Home Alone (1-3 are ALL great. I don't have a favorite.)
5. The Devil Wears Prada
6. Monster In Law
7. How to Lose A Guy in 10 Days, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, The Notebook, and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
8. Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, The Lion King, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Monsters, Inc, The Tigger Movie, Pooh's Heffalump Movie, basically almost ANY Disney animated movie.
(I had a really hard time narrowing my favorites down to 8, can you tell. I really LOVE movies.)

8 things I did or want to do in 2008:
1. Learned a lot about myself and what I can handle.
2. Created a blog!!
3. Stuck with blogging. For me this is the first "Journal" I have ever stuck with this long and this frequently.
4. Had some fabulous family vacations this summer.
5. Lost 13 pounds in 2 months!! (But I have to credit some of that to the fact that my body was holding onto baby fat while I was nursing. I hadn't lost a pounds until I stopped nursing. But I am thrilled that I got to nurse for 9 months, even if I had to wait to lose weight!!)
6. I would like to lose even more weight and get it back to where it should be.
7. I would like to spend more time as a family of four.
8. I would like to create some family traditions this year for Christmas. (We have been relying on our extended family too much for the holidays.)
