EEK tagged me, and since I've been knitting and crafting rather than reading much this week, I'm going to post said meme.
8 passions in my life
*Reading books that make me think, sigh in contentment, or both
*Eating tiramisu everywhere I travel (within logic, of course; I didn't try to find tiramisu in China)
*Knitting things to keep people warm/things that are useful
*Dipping my toes in the ocean whenever I have the opportunity and contemplating the enormity of just our planet
*Baking things from scratch and having them turn out deliciously
*Travel
*Dancing at every appropriate occasion, without regard to who's watching or whether anyone else is dancing
8 things to do before I die
*Visit all 50 states
*See the pyramids (both Egypt and Central/South America)
*learn to snowboard
*learn to take photographs I am proud to display
*own some land
*win a blue ribbon at a county fair for something I created
*marry my best friend
*accomplish something I can truly be proud of - not sure what that is yet
8 things I often say
*pants?
*meep
*mmmmmm (in response to eating a yummy dinner Dan has made me)
*I'm naked!
*That's my ____ (insert part Dan has grabbed)
*Oh, the kitties
*Loki, stop!
*I like pie

thanks for the tag, and I am right there with you on the tiramisu thing, in fact I was actually crazy enough to order it in China and let me tell you, not a good idea :)
Dang, can I do it later?
