a countdown meme

Saw this over at Andie's. Stumbled on her blog through Dawn's, and I keep going back not only because her blog is interesting, but because she takes amazing photos. Anyway, thought this sounded really fun, so I thought I'd give it a try.

10 things to do before I die:
-visit the 48 contiguous states (all 50 would be even better!)
-take the Mensa test
-learn to knit
-have a gorgeous wildflower garden
-sleep through the night
-get back to pre-kiddo weight (or better)
-watch all the movies we have on tape and DVD
-read all my unread books
-go back to North Bay, Canada
-scrap the "meaningful" layouts

9 places I last spent money:
-the pediatrician
-my doctor's office
-post office
-library (no, not late fees, but the 50 cent surcharge for inter-library loan)
-a friend's daughter (for Girl Scout cookies)
-Joanns.com (if spending a gift card counts)
-QVC (scrapbook supplies)
-Target
-Wegmans

4 songs that make me happy:

I can imagine how hard that was to do. I could teach you how to knit :) My mom taught me when I was five years old. I'd also love to sleep through the night with NO tossing and turning (or being woken up by Rich's tossing and turning LOL!)
I saw you bought girl scout cookies. I just bought some of the new lemon ones and they are SOOOOOOOOOOOO good.

It was fun reading those. Thanks for sharing :) :)

take care,
Dawn
