7. Piano for Brandon
8. Have another kid without being pregnant. (Hey, a girl can dream, right?)

8 Pet Peeves
1. People taking advantage of old people and children (anyone really, but these get me MAD!)
2. B burping at the dinner table (I don't care if it makes you feel soooo much better and no I do not think of it as a compliment like people in Tonga.)
3. People putting empty boxes back in the cupboards or fridge instead of the garbage (It just teases me and gets my hopes up. STOP it people!)
4. People lying to me when I know the truth
5. People not squirting the water out of the bath toys after they are done so they get mold in them. Ew.
6. Blinkers people. BLINKERS! They are not optional.
And don't get me started on merging...
7. People bringing their obviously sick kids around mine. I'd much rather you just smack them than get them sick. "My kid just threw up twice today, but I brought her anyway. I wonder why she is asleep on the ground?" She's SICK!!! grrrrrr.
8. People not disciplining their kids when they definitely NEED it. (Notice I did not say hurting.)
9. Yes. 9! Policemen or security guards or anyone who THINKS they are cooler than they really are and think they can get away with pushing people around because they wear a uniform. It's all about MUTUAL respect.

8 Things you would like to be remembered for:
1. My amusing blogs :)
2. This one is lame.
3. How about we do 8 things I would like to ask and tag people about?
4. Now I know why this one was taken off Melissa's list

8 things to ask and tag people about... AHEM!
1. Why they think that Christmas music is appropriate before Thanksgiving :)
2. Why they can't fly here and take a photoshoot here in hungary of my family
3. Why they can't just get a job in Hungary and set up a scrapbook store here. They don't have any in the whole country. Poof! We'd make mucho moolah!
4. Why they have to go Private and I have to keep checking like the "old days" to see if they have posted
5. Why my upload speed is horrid and won't allow me to upload vidoes or see Slingbox well
6. Why the paylists won't let me just push play if I want to listen to music (stay tuned for mine soon)
7. Why people have pets that bark all. day. long.
8. Why people think they can get away with not standing up for what they believe

8 People I Tag- don't you DARE get mad! (I did some of the As and Bs of the people that I know, next TAG will be Cs and Ds, and so forth... jk. maybe.)
1. Amy
2. Becky
3. Brandi
4. Allie
5. AnnDee
6. Annie Marie
7. Autumn
8. Beth

Y'all better do it!
And I won't be offended if you put "I can't stand it when people tag me and say, ya'll better do it" under your pet peeves.

  3. OOH I used to LOVE Tesco!!! Asda was great ( in the UK) that was actually bought out by walmart. I would say Tesco is more like Target...I TRIED to pass on the tag, still new at blogging though.
    Did you REALLY sneak out?? That hasn't' happened, and I never did it,but am totally paranoid about it. Too funny!! MY BABY is 14 today. AAHHHHHH

  4. OK, my pet peeve is that no matter how much I squirt those %*#% bath toys, I can NOT get all the water out of them. So I just obsess about all the nasty bacteria growing in the bath toys!!! Oh the agony!
