8 Things that happened yesterday
it rained
we went to church and I spent most of Sunday School and morning service in the nursery with Corinne
Ethan and I drew on the driveway with sidewalk chalk
I watched some season 2 episodes of ST:TNG, America's Funniest Home Videos, Amazing Race, and Masterpiece: Contemporary
I made a loaf of bread using a banana bread recipe but instead of bananas I used a jar of pears Pam and I canned a couple of years ago
We watched puppies on a puppy cam
I didn't eat dinner or take a nap like I desperately wanted to, and I stayed up too late.

8 Things I look forward to
This election being over and done with.
Next weekend because everyone will be here to celebrate Ethan's 7th birthday.
The next time Brian and I are able to go out on a real date.
The whole holiday season, especially Thanksgiving.
Our parent/teacher conference with Ethan's teacher (actually I'm kind of anxious about that one).
All of Corinne and Ethan's "firsts".
Someday maybe life making some sense.

8 Things I love about Fall
Getting to wear sweatpants again.
Not feeling oppressed by the heat.
Cold November rain (thanks Guns and Roses)
Thanksgiving
The end of daylight savings time
Hot tea/chocolate/cider
Feeling like you still have PLENTY of time to get your Christmas shopping done
Pumpkins

8 Things on my wishlist
Taking a trip to Disneyland.
Find a way to make money from home
An elf would magically appear and get all the laundry washed, folded, and put away during the night
That our government would ratify the Kyoto Protocol or at least do something equally responsible to reduce our greenhouse emissions
That my family would remain healthy and happy
That we could travel more
That I could live by the ocean
That I could stick to something long enough to be successful at it.

I guess I tag Jen and Brian, if they read this.
