Ten on Tuesday

The Ten on Tuesday topic for 1/31/2012 is 10 Favorite Super Bowl Party Foods.  We don't really have a party for the Super Bowl so I'll add some of the things my niece is planning for her party.
 
1)  Pizza - we usually have this for dinner on Super Bowl night.
2)  Shrimp - I'd like to have this but the last two times I have had it, I was sick the next day and the Dr. thinks it may be some sort of allergy.  She said I could test it by having it again but I haven't had the courage to try it.
3)  Wings
4)  New England Clam Chowder - my niece is having this.
5)  Chips and Dip
6)  Pretzels - hmm, maybe I'll get some.
7)  Cheese and Crackers
8)  Pigs in a blanket.
9)  Vegetables and Dip
10)  Cookies

Ten on Tuesday

The Ten on Tuesday topic for 1/24/2012 is 10 Movies You Want to See Right Now. It doesn't matter if it's in the theater, on DVD, an old classic or a new release!
 
I know I'm going to miss some and the minute I read everyone's lists I am going to be writing them down.  I don't really like going to the movies so most of what I watch is a rental or when it finally makes it to TV. 
 
The first two I bought at Border's during their going out of business sale.  Just haven't had the chance to watch them yet.
1)  Alice in Wonderland with Johnny Depp
2)  Where the Wild Things Are - I still have the book from when I was a kid and have a framed card on my bedroom wall - the card came from a Knitting related Swap from a few years ago.
3)  Coraline - bought it at Target for $5
4)  Bridesmaids - haven't seen it yet.
5)  Elf - I somehow missed seeing it all the way through this holiday season.
6)  Black Swan - didn't get around to seeing it yet.
7)  Into the Wild - read about it in Outside magazine years ago.
8)  Sweeney Todd - must be on a Johnny Depp kick.
9)  The King's Speech
10)  The Help
And one I wish they would make is a movie version of Wicked.  I would watch it again and again and probably drive anyone around me crazy singing along.  I guess I will have to make due with the soundtrack which I do own.

The Ten on Tuesday topic for 1/3/2012 is 10 Things You Want to Do in 2012.

1)  Eat heatlhier.
2)  Figure out what foods are bothering me.
3)  Lose some weight.
4)  Start and keep an exercise routine.
5)  Figure out my work future.  (Stay or look for something else)
6)  Knit some more socks.
7)  Knit some actual sweaters for me.
8)  Read down my two large piles of books.
9)  Get my new computer and printer set up.  The computer has been mostly in it's box since June and the Printer since September or so.
10)  Find or design a hat thing to knit that my niece wants.  She was in a potty line at either the Patriot's game Xmas eve or some other event and took a picture of the woman in front of her just for her hat.  Know I have to find it and then make it or design it and make it.
