I've been tagged by three people last week (franco, savvy & dorky r). Since it's my birthday and I had the luxury to sit in front of my computer all day today, I'm going to do them altogether.

Love the four things you wish God would say!

Thanks for the congrats! I was ridiculously excited about it, even though there are people who routinely get up on the front page.

Happy birthday btw!!! Hope you had a lot of fun!

Dorkys Ramos said...

Haha, it's ok Maki! I guess I can give you a pass since it's your birthday and all ;)

Also, you keep misspelling my name woman! It's bad enough as it is without you leaving out the "s" at the end!!

Hope you had tons of fun at the partay last night though!

P.S. I looove Cold Case too, but doesn't the end of each episode make want to start bawling like a baby?! Or is that just me?

Maki said...

bakergirl:) Thanks - I did have a good birthday. And I'm very excited for you! Congrats!!!

dorkys:) OOOOOPS! SORRY!!! OMG - Please forgive me! I will be careful and will correct it now!

BTW, yes, Cold Case always makes me cry at the end... It makes you attached to the characters, don't you think so?

haPPY b-DAY MAki, I have to say your wishes a way more deep then mine, i JUST WANT wealth and fame. so superficial.
Sorry to hear about your mom, I'm so freaked out about my psrents even though they are in their early forties I alrealy see them being dependent on pills and stuff, My dad right know can't walk cuz he fractured a wound of his ulcer surgury and my mom thinks one of her kidneys doesn't work, and we have no health insurance.
so yeah
I'm afraid I'm gonna turn into that when older, I'M 18 AND already having back problems.
MY wost nightmare is them dying and leaving me and my younger sisters, and the goverment taking them. Of course I could just become their guardian, but I wouldn't even be able to afford groceries.

wow I wrote a lot then usual.
I drove off topic abit.

Dorkys Ramos said...

Oh man, when they fade away into the background with that music playing I'm like, "Nooooo, don't goooo!"

The Pink Chick said...

Guess what! You won a pair of earrings. I decided to do a surprise drawing for earrings after I drew the name for the winner of the necklace! Sorry you didn't win the necklace, but you did get a pair of earrings. I hope you like them! I also hope you have a very happy birthday! E-mail me the address you would like me to send the earrings to. My e-mail is jenniferlt@hotmail.com. Have a great day!

MJ said...

Your friends and families are waiting for you over there. The drinks are on me, so have fun!

*chuckle* That's so great!

Happy belated!

Couture Carrie said...

Love Giada and West Elm!

Bayjb said...

I would actually also like to go to Antartica one day. That or Greenland. There's something about it I would love to see.

Unknown said...

awe, you're sweet! I may do the top one though because I did the 11 things last week. I think I have a couple others to do as well ...I better get to it! ;) Thanks!

Maki said...

franco: sorry to hear about your parents. It's hard to see them getting old, I feel the same way sometimes. Healthcare system in the US sucks and it's tough. But you can make it happen, you've got talent!!

merc3069: Yes, just respond to the questions I posted.. It's easy and fun!! I will email you tonight!

dorkys: Yep, the song usually does the trick and they always pick the best song for the ending! damn..

the pink chick: What? REALLY??? OMG - thanks soooooo much!!!! I am dancing right now as I type this :D

mj: LOL.. Glad I could make you smile.. I would like to hear that from God, I really do. Thanks for the bd wishes too:D

savvy: Yes, I've moved around a lot! I really want to settle down though, maybe in a few years, hopefully back in Hawaii and that will be it! LOL

couture carrie: Yes, I love Giada. My girls love her, too, so we sit in front of TV for 30 mins watching her cook together :D Thanks for stopping by!!

bayjb: Yes, I would love to see Greenland or Iceland as well.. I can't believe people live there..

maegan: yes, do the top one.. Maybe I can pick someone else to do the 11 things.. Thanks for doing it though! :D

Sarah said...

Travel to Antartica? That sounds like that would be very interesting. Maybe you should try Minnesota in January to get a feel for what the deep freeze feels like! lol ;)

Maki said...

sarah: Ah huh!!! I've never been to Minesota either, so that would be a good practice trip!! I was in NJ and man, that place is COLD too! LOL..

Alev said...
