Eight

I've been tagged by the ever-delightful Mandi.

8 favorite TV shows:

  1. I Love Lucy
  2. The Cosby Show
  3. The Muppets
  4. (The theme here is either ANCIENT HISTORY or NERD ALERT.)
  5. But also:
  6. NCIS
  7. and . . . um . . .
  8. Moving on . . .

8 books I recommend:
  1. The Scarlet Pimpernel
  2. Mrs. Mike

8 things that happened yesterday:
  1. Wild bargain shopping spree at Kohl's.

  3. Sampled a Milk Bordeaux at See's - also yum!
  4. Grocery run with my 3yo.
  5. Ice cream with my 5yo.
  6. Blushed again at my Friday-night charades attempt at "Elf."
  7. Saw a teenaged acquaintance in the mall and forgot that grownups aren't supposed to greet adolescents in such settings. Especially not grownups that publicly confess a love of The Muppets. Received a hasty, barely audible hello as said acquaintance passed.
  8. Saw a tweenaged acquaintance 10 minutes later, forgot again, got the same results. Will I ever learn?

I know that it said my sister wrote this, but I can't imagine she would ever in a million years request warm socks, and winter dress boots.

What now, long sleeves?

You rock! I must say that I too, love the Muppets, and that your book list could easily be mine, too. Now, have you seen the movie Scarlet Pimpernel? Sooo my fave. I need to get it on DVD, speaking of which.

LCM said...

I love the Bordeaux from See's. See's isn't in Texas though, sad. I did do your tag. Like I said, I don't have much else to do.

Megan said...

that looks like a fun one. Can I do it too?

Mrs. B said...

Marla - sadly, yes. I'm a little claustrophobic (but warm) with all this clothing on.

Mandi - Love that movie, and have sought the DVD as well, but why is it $16 on Amazon? Why, Amazon, why? Meet Joe Black was only $6.49!

LCM - If you need a See's fix after your mall kiosk disappears, just let me know! Do you think it could make it to Texas without melting?

Megan - absolutely! Can't wait to read it!

the only time I have EVER run 7 mi was on a treadmill while watching Scarlet Pimpernel. It is such a great movie/book it gives you super human strength and abilities!

Mrs. B said...

Julianna! Is that you? As in banandaid bread Julianna?
