"Eight Things" Afterthoughts

In May I participated in an "Eight Things" Tag on my blog.  At the time I was having a hard time coming up with stuff.  True to my forever-mulling nature, I've still pondered on some of my replies over the past two months and wanted to add some things.  Okay, okay, I know that defeats the "limit-yourself-to-eight" part of the tag, but humor me. 

[More] things I want to do before I die:
  • Learn to sing alto.  
  • Re-learn to play the piano (I can read music and had lessons in 4th grade.  I just need lots and lots of practice.  ....And a piano.)
  • Perform with a Drum & Bugle Corps Color Guard (I honestly think this is a missed opportunity, but it has been a dream of mine since I first joined Marching Band)

[More] common phrases heard in my house:
  • "Mommy, play a game with me?"
  • "I love you"
  • "Is s/he getting tired Mommy?" (David assumes anyone cranky or crying is tired.  He's probably right more often than not)
  • When I'm kissing him goodnight: "I want 10 kisses and 10 hugs!" 
  • "D, V, D!  That's my name!" (see this post for story)
  • "I want [...] after my milk" (but he really means he wants milk after he finishes eating whatever [...] is at the time)

[More] favorite songs:
  • Dragostea Din Tei (a.k.a. Numa Numa Song) by O-Zone
  • Malagueña--marching band style! (Listen here)
  • Online by Brad Paisley

[More] random things about me:
  • I like to eat molasses by the spoonful, straight out of the jar.
  • I learned floral design in a 6-week course with a florist in Utah
  • I'm scarred for life from watching--at a very young age--some 1980's made-for-tv, Arachniphobia-esque movie about Nightcrawlers and consequently am very squeamish around worms.  Bugs fine, snakes fine, worms--no way.
Glad to get all that out.  Thanks for humoring me!  :)

I love dipping apple slices in molasses. Mmmmm.

These were fun to read.
