So, Peggy tagged me, and amazingly, I'm actually going to do it. It's not that I don't always have the best intentions to do these things, but somehow I manage to put them off until no one even remembers that they sent them to me. So here goes:
1. What was I doing 10 years ago?
Let's see . . . 1998, huh? Ellis and I had just moved into the tiniest little 1-bedroom house you can imagine in Salem, Utah. And when I say tiny, I'm talking 600 sq. ft. If you stood in the center of the house, you could literally turn in a circle and see every room in the house. I was also doing an internship at Spanish Fork Middle School where I was basically a 1st-year English teacher, but they only had to pay me half salary.
2. What are 5 things on my to-do list today?
- Exercise - check
- Grocery shop - check
- Weed the flower beds and/or garden - nope
- Find a Father's Day present for my father-in-law - well, I didn't find it, but Jenni gave me a fantastic idea
- Return this bag of stuff to Linens N Things that has been sitting on the floor of my bedroom making me crazy - CHECK
3.What are some snacks that I enjoy? Oh, where to start?
- I love ice cream of all varieties except fruit flavors. Don't waste my time with strawberry ice cream, okay? And no, sherbet/sorbet is not ice cream.
- Movie theater popcorn sans the nasty butter they're always wanting to squirt on it.
- Cherry bites (you know, those little licorice bites? Yummy.)
- Cold cereal (yes, it's a snack)
- Jr. Mints . . . they're very refreshing!
- Those little 100-cal packages of striped fudge shortbread cookies
4. Things I would do if I were a billionaire.
Ah, let's see . . . pay off all of Ellis's student loans and buy a house with an actual garage attached to it. Give a whole load of it to charity -- I always want to do that, but I inevitably feel like we're too poor to contribute to anything. Then I feel guilty about it, and I always want to assure the grocery store clerk who wants me to donate to the Save the Children fund (every time I go through the line) that I really will donate once I actually have some money to donate. And yes, I do need that carton of ice cream. I'd like to team up with the Gates family and Bono and see what kind of good we could do. I would also love to travel to all the places that I've repeatedly made Ellis promise me we'd go someday.
5. Places I've lived.
California, Utah (Spanish Fork, Salem, and Midvale), and North Carolina.
Now I tag:
Debra, Kristy, Joey, and Jenni-O
