My mememememe as requested by Ali, who's going to promise never to do this again to me!!!!!!  (Hear me do ya?)  But in the spirit of the season...  good wils an all that jazz:
8 TV shows I watch (if this is my editor reading this... it's being ghost written by a non-BBC employee on my behalf.  Clue - IT'S WHY I DO RADIO.........)

1. the News, and uh....
2. the News on another day and so on.  (In fact, I might "see" the news maybe once or twice a month.)

8 things that happened to me today:

1. a friend from work called to visit
2. we struggled our way through half portions of Christmas dinner in the local greasy spoon at lunchtime... a rehearsal for Thursday
3. I shopped.  On a Sunday.  Waiting for the lightening... but it was for antibiotics from the pharmacy, so maybe that's ok?
4. we were so early for the "candles by carol-light" at church, I had time for a little doze before the service started.  Am hoping anyone who noticed assumed I was deep in prayer. 
5. I started to make fudge at 1145pm.
6. The fudge took a while so I made cranberry confit to go with the Christmas turkey. 
7. When the fudge and the confit were ready, I stuffed dates.  I hear you.  Life's too short.
8. I made the mistake of opening my emails and having a blog wander before bed.  It's now 1.38am.

8 things I look forward to:

1. bed!
2. having "the l'il guy" here all day tomorrow
3. finishing the quilts I'm making for Christmas
4. (sort of...) going back to work in the middle of January
5. curling up with a book and a toasty fire
6. the Good Book club
7. book and pudding circle
8. catching up with friends home for Christmas

8 things I wish for:

1. a clean bill of health for all my friends and family in a season of bugs
2. Christmas day... with the family all here
3. Boxing day... with the rest of the family all here
4. the day after... with nobody all here!
5. a cure for cancer, and in the meantime, a way to treat it that doesn't feel worse than the disease
6. a vegetable garden that isn't full of clay and doesn't get blasted by salty sea winds
7. everyone in the world to have a roof over their head, food in their belly, clean water to drink, and the warmth of friends and family in their lives
8. for Maddy and all the missing children to be found safe and well and be returned to their loved ones and for the sickos that abducted them to find their dangly bits shrivel up and turn to ash at the stroke of midnight.

8 people I tag:

1. None - my new year's resolution getting early exercise. 

Yeay.  All done.
