Here is my version of the new blogging meme, The Eight----also known as: a way to avoid packing and diddle around until Kate wakes up. ;-)
8 Things I am Looking Forward to:
1. Completing our move!
2. Our 3 year anniversary

4. Violet's birthday party
5. The birth of Steve and Carol's baby and meeting him and Marguerite's newest daughter
6. The Class of 2008 A.P. reunion at our house
7. Humphrey's by the Bay this summer: Heart, Moody Blues, Crosby/Stills/Nash
8. Summer birthdays and July 4th and all kinds of family and friend parties!

8 Things I Wish I Could Do:

If you are reading this, and have a tendency toward these kinds of things, then have fun!
