so apparently this started in pixar's blog, which i have not read yet and then i came across it in janetha's. she claimed it wasn't very much fun but im having a bit of a blogging block so im going to use it to get my juices flowing!

8s...

8 favorite tv shows

1) arrested development tops my charts. in fact,

me, bayley, nate, emma and bandit are all watching it in my cosy room right now!

2) scrubs. its silly plot lines and witty characters keep me laughing, while it always seems to sum up at the end so poignantly that my laughter turns to tears. its true. i highly recommend this show. and i think zach braff is a hottie.

3) the office

4) best week ever

5) top chef

6) project runway

7) bored already...

8 favorite restaurants

1) Market Street

2) Ginza

3) Pita Jungle (AZ)

4) La Puente

5) any Thai place. ooh i like Sawadee

6) ND Kitchen (next to ND gym) i recommend the pirogies
7) bored already again! the claims are correct; this is kind of a bland survey

8 things that happened yesterday (i started this blog on monday night so im going with sunday)

really, yesterday was gratifyingly lazy so although i could probably more easily name 8 things that didnt happen, it turns out through all of the laziness more happened then one would suspect.

1) i was served breakfast sopapillas in bed

2) i learned how to make coffee with a mechanism from the 18th century

3) verizon replaced my phone!

4) nick and i realized we aren't too posh with local all you can eat buffets in downtown slc.

5) i watched Nightmare Before Christmas for the first time

6) my slippers were mistaken for duck carcus

7) decided to get an ipod nano instead of a touch
8) realized that doing a lot of nothing with someone you care about beats doing a lot of somethings with those less close to your heart

8 things to look forward to

1) Sage moving here!!

2) snowboarding all winter long!

3) quitting my job

4) traveling to St. Thomas and island hopping when i get there

5) waking up and finding out i can sleep peacefully and happily for another 30 minutes

6) getting my own house and growing into an old dog lady

7) my sausage stuffing

8) realizing that it is OK not to know what i want to do with my life at 24

8 things i love about the fall

1) hikes in canyons filled with flourescent colors

2) leaves lining the streets of neighborhoods and canyon roads, and riding a motorcyle though it.

3) spaghetti, butternut and acorn squash

4) burnt reds, oranges and yellows.

5) spicy smells

6) porches decorated with halloween and then thanksgiving

7) curling up in a cozy bed or couch and watching the first snowfall

8) pumpkin lattes, seeds, and beer

9) sitting in front of my dads proud fireplace

8 things on my wish list

1) neverending season pass

2) a log cabin

3) camera

4) a buddy pass

5) Audi A3 Quattro
6) frankie and emma wearing matching christmas hoodies from old navy

7) to relearn italian in italy

8) to buy a published book written by my favorite up and coming author

yep that wasnt as much fun as i thought it would be but at least im getting a start in my blogging instead of just talking about it!

i just got to work about 20 minutes ago, and find myself blankly staring at my computer screen, and have already anxiously begun the mundane routine of checking the little clock at the bottom right hand of the monitor. although it is not only donut day but pay day too (which usually never fail at providing enough smiles to protect me from my boss's constant pressure and negative abuse) ... it is obvious to anyone who has had an interaction with me thus far that i am not in the best of moods. here's my disclaimer and apology right now for those of you who have. i dont have to perform the scientific meathod to pin point my reasoning, i'd like to consider myself a genuinely happy person for the most part, yet sometimes the voice in my head reminds me that i am in a transitional state in my career life (and unfortunately have been for about a year and a half too long) and that while i am not getting any younger, i still have not found my calling. not only that but i am not happy daily with my transitional job. so i actually am goign somewhere with all of this bitching. as cliche as it may be, i am going to try an excercise i like to use when the spoiled american brat comes out in me, because nobody likes a downer, especially a blogging downer!

i believe it is only appropriate and was raised to humbly be gracious for what i do have in my life. how often do we all take it for granted? i know im guilty of it more times than not. therefore i am going to name a few of the important things in my life that i am thankful for while fulfilling a double-entendre and introducing some key characters who will most likely be making appearances aqui.

i am thankful for...
