Crazy 8's

Soxy Deb challenged everyone to complete this meme.  I haven't done this one so I thought, what the hey, I'll do it.  Here goes:

8 things I am looking forward to:

1.  Fourth of July - the fearsome foursome will  be back together for the day and it's gonna rock!  We haven't been together since Kimmie moved back to the USA in the fall of 2007.  If the patio's rockin'...come on over!!!

2.  Next Friday night I am going to surprise Bubba with something huge!!!  Can't write about it here because he reads my blog.  Bubba, don't try to weasel it out of me...I am so excited!

3.  The end of school for BoyBoy.  I love hanging out with him in the summer.

4.  Summertime in general.  I love the weather, thunderstorms, sandy beaches, pool side, beach books...all of it!

5.  Gosh, I don't have all that much to look forward to.  Do I really have to think of 8?!?!

6.  Getting new tennis shoes.  Mine are getting yucky and they are permanently dyed red from the concrete stain.

7.  Did I already say next Friday?  Bubba, you are going to be so psyched!!!

8.  My good friend, SJ, is having her second baby any day now.  Can't wait to meet him!!!

8 things I did yesterday:

1.  Rode my bike a looooonnnnnngggg way.  My bedonkadonk is sore but it felt so good.  I have no idea how far I rode but it took me an hour round trip.

2.  Read blogs...duh!

3.  Took something back to Old Navy...bought the bottoms instead of the top to a bathing suit I wanted...oops!

4.  Ate lunch at Chic-Fil-A....mmmmm, chicken strips salad with blue cheese dressing and unsweet tea, mmmmmm.

5.  Talked to my friend, SJ, on the phone for about an hour.

1.  Whistle through my fingers really loud.

2.  Scuba dive - claustrophobic...phew!
