Eight TV shows/movies I watch regularly:
 Without my TiVo, I doubt I'd watch much television at all, with it I watch
   CSIs (original and NY--don't much like Miami)
  NCIS
  The Mentalist
  Stargate Atlantis (original Stargate is over)
  Eleventh Hour
  Fringe
  The Sanctuary
  Criminal Minds
Eight things that happened yesterday:
  Drove from Salt Lake to my home in Washington
  Stopped almost halfway for a burger and Coke (and chips of course)
  Visited with Mom for a while
  Picked up accumulated mail
  Skyped with hubby
  Read some J.A. Jance on my Kindle
  Caught up on a little TiVo time
  --not much else, too much driving time
Eight favorite places to eat:
  Lone Star Steak House--when I get a craving for steak or prime rib
  Taco Time (not Taco Bell or Del Taco)
  Ruby Tuesday--excellent lunches
  Famous Dave's--when I need barbecue
  Applebee's--generally dependable food
  Golden Corral--when I'm really hungry
  Arctic Circle for its burgers and fry sauce
  La Costa--a little place with terrific Mexican food
Eight things I'm looking forward to:
  Warmer weather--I'm a real summer person
  Lunch with my former colleagues--maybe next week
  Playing with my grandchildren again--just don't know when it will be
  Watching my nieces' college basketball game--also next week
  The cruise we're planning this summer--hubby's parents celebrating 60 years together
  Going back to Alaska and Hawaii--both beautiful in different ways
  Learning how make beaded jewelry--especially watch bands
  More grapefruit from Costco--they are wonderful and this is the best time of the year for them
Eight things on my wish list:
  More exploring of the wonders of the U.S.
  Future trips to Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Spain, who knows where.
  Seeing the Great Wall of China
  Staying healthy, no more messy heart surgeries
  Maybe losing 10 pounds--can I do it without suffering too much?
  Lay's bringing back Dill Pickle potato chips (are last two incompatible?)
  Finding more good books to read on my new Kindle
  Lots of time with grandchildren
Eight people to tag:
  Don't feel comfortable tagging specific people; don't know that many who would want   to do it.  Would love to see what others have to say.

congrats-brave person. it's kind of fun to look inside and see what's there. enjoyed getting to know you better from your post...Famous Dave's BBQ is gone now from our town and also Ruby River Steakhouse. What a shock. You sound like you keep busy on the road driving back and forth-it's not a good time of year for that but the weather here in So. Utah is certainly better than up north. Thanks for participating.
I very much enjoyed reading about you, Jo. I've definitely got China on my list of places to visit also.
I am working on my lists of 8 things, and I enjoyed yours. I"ve already done the '10 things about me' thing, so I may condense the 8 things list a little bit. I think TIVO is the best invention ever!
I loved reading your eight things. It's such fun to get to know fellow bloggers better. How do you like that Kindle? Not sure if I would like that. I really love making jewelry. Have you been to a class? That is how I learned, well, that and practice, practice, practice. The purchasing of "inventory" is so addicting. Jewelry shows (where they sell beads) are the best. You will learn so much as you go along. And you will always have gifts to give at a moments notice!!
I have seen the mentalist a couple of times. I liked it.
A: He's CUTE! He's hard to figure out... has a mystery about him. Yeah... I could learn to like that show. I just don't know if I can learn to remember when it's on.
Lay's Dill Pickle Chips. I loved those! I've never even found anyone else who's heard of them. Good stuff, Maynard!
I'm with you. Bring on the summer! I'm loving it here at the beach. The temps are in the high 70's, low 80's. But, this too shall come to and end and I'll be going back to our snowy landscape in the morning... sigh
Thanks to Lin for giving you reason to share a bit more about you... It was fun to read.
I'm with you (except for me it's a DVR not Tivo). The only CSI show I like is the original and I did get hooked on the original StarGate series and watch Atlantis when I have time. Although I very much enjoyed learning more about you from this post, I'm not likely to take it on myself any time soon (if at all) because I'm hopelessly behind on too many things to spend time coming up with more facts about me after completing my 101 Things about me on my 101st post. There's a link in my Blogger sidebars for those who are curious ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
