The Power of Eight ... or a way to procrastinate for 8 minutes

I was tagged in this note ... by Vixen ... so I must do this thing. Oh, and I should mention, that I expect at least 8 comments on this one ... make it happen people. Feel free to click on links too - comments are always appreciated.

(Do with this information what you will - consider it a bonus, or not ... I just finished reading these two books by Katherine Neville, The Eight and it's sequel, The Fire ... good reads, check it out.)

8 THINGS I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO:

• Getting to the end of this list (Just kidding, Vix ... ok, no, not really ... ;-))
  
• Having loads of summer fun
  
• Playing with my 6 year old son (I'm guessing Legos or pirates ... but could be wrong)
  
• Completing the restoration of a buffet for my mom (thinking she's looking forward to that, too)
  
• The infinite possibilities of the coming months (borrowed this one from Vixen, but I agree)
  
• The ultimate success of our business
  
• Establishing a Hilton Head Island branch (it will happen ... one day)
  
• Cleaning out a few closets (both the literal and the metaphysical kind)
  

8 THINGS I DID YESTERDAY:

• Got out of bed
  
• Made coffee
  
• Opened my eyes (in that order)
  
• Listened to angry clients vent their frustrations
  
• Took my son to see ancient (1100 B.C.) Etowah Indian Mounds
  
• Perspired (sorry, glowed) in the heat
  
• Went to the pool with some friends
  
• Drank a glass of wine (again, in that order)
  

8 THINGS I WISH I COULD DO: (note by Lisa-Life Is Like a Box of Legos ... I'm interpreting this as 8 things I will do - you know, like goals ... and such ... otherwise, I'd have to name 8 superpowers I wish I had)

• I will surround myself with positive people
  
• I will have a successful business
  
• I will have a house at the beach
  
• I will make every opportunity count

• I will finish this meme

8 FAVORITE FOODS:

• Greece - blue's a great color & I've always had a thing for Hercules
  
• Japan - not been there, but I like sushi and rice
  
• Switzerland - been there would like to return - it's fun trying to figure out what language to use
  
• Germany - been there would like to return - castles are way cool
