Tag This!

I used to love the game of tag. I would chase someone and try to tag them while they contort to stay just out of my reach. Then once I finally caught up to that person, I would hit them (tag is not for the weak) and then it was their turn to tag someone. Then came spin offs like freeze tag and TV tag. But of course like any spin offs, they were fun but just not as good as the original. I don't know if kids are still playing tag. Though I know that with kids having cell phones at the age of 3, they can now play telephone tag. Wow, that is sad.

I have a running email conversation with a blog mommy Sprite's Keeper (AKA Jen). She wrote me an email last week saying how she got tagged. To be honest I had NO clue what she was talking about so I figured maybe just because it was Friday and my brain was fried. I kept her email in my inbox so I could respond with a clearer head. Then I get a blog tag. WTF?!?! So now, because Jen is a great person and I love her, I am writing to this tag. However, since I am much nicer than her (still love ya, Jen!), I am not going to continue this foolery by forwarding it on. I am sure that by not sending this on, some baby bunnies and puppies will now die. If I just would have forwarded it on, I could have saved them.

So here it is:

All Things Eight (Because Eight is Always Enough):
Eight Things I'm Passionate About:
1. Abigail. I really have come to like her.
2. The Dad. Josh is very cute.
3. Family. They drive me crazy but I love them
4. My neurosis. I am neurotic and happy to admit it.
5. Judaism. Always on my mind.
6. My friends. I may just hurt one of them by the end of this.
7. The Environment. I recycle and I am attempting to hypermile.
8. Sarcasm. There is so much more fun in the world with a quip.

Eight Things I'd Like to do Before I die:
1. See my grandchildren happy and Jewish. No pressure, Abby.
2. Travel. I don't have anywhere specific but I love traveling. Josh and I have fun together.
3. Finish our house. We have the structure but a lot of invisible furniture and plants.
4. Write a Book. I have chapters for one but I don't know anyone who would want to read it.
5. Run a marathon. I don't know why but I think this would be an awesome accomplishment.
6. Win the lottery. I am sure if I played this may become more of a possibility.
7. Travel some more. I am sure there are places I would need to revisit from number two.
8. Have the will to stop answering forwards.

Eight Things I Say Often:
1. "Hey." Can be used in so many ways: Hi, wait a minute, stop, what horses eat.
2. "Josh-u-a" When said in three syllables, you know he did something wrong.
3. "Abigail!"
4. "Abby, that's not food!" She is not eating everything as much as she used to but since she can walk, things are more in her reach to put in her mouth.
5. I have a look. It sometimes says a thousand words. Just ask Josh who is more often the recipient of the look.
6. Oreo, no". I swear this was going to be Abigail's first sentence. We say it very often.
7. "Oy vey." I even have some of my non Jewish friends saying it.
8. "I hate when people send me stupid forwards that I am compelled to send on". HEHEHE

Eight Books I've Read Recently:
1. "Pat the Bunny". This was my favorite book and Abby does the speed version of it. (Pat the bunny, peak-a-boo with Paul, smell the flowers, look in the mirror, Daddy's scratchy face, read Judy's book, Mommy's Ring) Yeah, I have read that a few times.
2. "I am America and So Are You" by Stephen Colbert. Hilarious!
3. "7th Heaven" by James Patterson. This is the 7th in his series of books. I liked the first one and kept reading. I didn't care for most of the other ones. But because I am neurotic, I read. Though the 7th one wasn't too bad.
4. -6. More books about colors, animals and sleepy stories.
7. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows. I think I read this one three times. I love the HP series.
8. "Baby 411" by Denise Fields and Dr. Ari Brown. Since I had time during nursing, I think I memorized this one.

Eight Movies I've Watched Eight Times: (This should be "or more")
1. "Young Frankenstein" My favorite movie. Unfortunately Josh and I watch movies until we have some of the lines memorized. I am sure that this means that I have watched them over 8 times. While I was pumping at work, I used to watch my video Ipod. It was awesome! With that being said, I am just going to mention a few of my favorite movies.
2. "Airplane" Surely, you can't be serious. I am serious and stop calling me Shirley.
3. "The Incredibles". Actually any of the Pixar movies with the exception of Cars. I wasn't thrilled with that one.
4. "Aladdin" I think I watched this one every day when I was in high school. I am a sucker for the classic Disney movies.
5. "Blazing Saddles". A Mel Brooks classic. Josh's favorite movie and you can see from number 1 why he liked me instantly.
6. "Sleepless in Seattle". I am not a chick flick kind of girl but I love Tom Hanks and this is another classic.
7. "Harry Potter..." I own all the movies and get them the week they come out. I even watch them on TV even though I have the DVD's. How stupid is that?
8. "Indiana Jones" Something about a guy and a whip. Droool...hehehehe.

Tag 8 People To Do This Meme:
1.-8. Nope. I am being nice. I am mentally tagging people so they don't feel compelled to carry on the insanity. Again, love ya Jen.

Phew! I am glad that is over with.
