Crazy Eights

Since I need a break from drowning in a sea of paperwork that I have absolutely NO desire to do, I thought I'd participate in this quiz. If you feel you want to follow suit, I'll be sure to read them! If not, just enjoy reading mine.

8 things I am looking forward to:

4) Seeing Les Miserables in Pittsburgh (AGAIN) this summer
5) Having an organized basement (hahaha, as if....)
