I'm It!

Becky tagged me to do this list. Wow I even finished and posted this before the birth of your 2^nd child. Are you not impressed?

1. What I was doing ten years ago:
I was pregnant with Amber. The rest is a blur. Oh, yeah, I was working at Holiday Inn. Actually I wasn’t working because I was to sick to do anything but lay in bed and occasionally crawl to the bathroom. That was great fun. I think I recovered about 2 weeks before Christmas – which would be about now!

2. Five years ago:
It was the end of 2002, so that means we’d just had the Olympics here (the only time Utah’s bus system has run extremely well), David’s mom had just passed away and David just had his shoulder surgery. And it was right about the time his diaphragm started going out. More fun memories.

3. One year ago:
Sadly enough, this one is harder to remember than 5 or 10 years ago. I’d been working at MSC for about a year. One person got fired and another quit – fun in an office that has 5 people. Oh yeah, and Meagan had just turned 16 and was starting to drive.

4. Yesterday:
Got to work full time because Georgia took the day off for her Biology final. I really don’t like working full time. Then David, Meagan and I went to buy her a new swimsuit because the 2 she had been using are literally falling apart. I drove the suburban ’cuz I didn’t wanna get stuck in our driveway again like I did Saturday morning.

5. 5 snacks I enjoy:
Lindt dark chocolate, stretch island fruit leather, hagen daas ice cream, pecans, granola.


6. 5 Things I would do if I suddenly had $100 million:
Pay off my mortgage, sell my house and move to the country. Quit my job, write, draw, paint, grow a big garden. Pay off all my siblings and friends mortgages. Find out how to invest my money and live off the proceeds. Find good causes to “invest” in (like saving the environment, helping people around the world have clean drinking water, stuff like that.) That was more than 5, wasn’t it?

7. 5 locations I would like to run away to:
An uncrowded island with clear blue water, warm sandy beaches and room service. Alaska or Montana in the summertime. A spa with massage therapists, yoga classes, etc. A cabin in the woods next to a babbling mountain stream and lots of big, shady trees.

8. 5 bad habits I have:
I’m picky – especially about food, lately. I love to wear sweats and baggy clothes. I’m a procrastinator. I like the internet too much. I giggle a lot.


9. 5 things I like doing:
Sleeping. Reading. Writing. Talking to family and friends. Goofing off with my kids and husband and dog (it kinda freaks my dog out, sometimes).

10. 5 TV shows I like:
I don’t watch TV much these days.

11. 5 things I hate doing:
Trying to clear clutter from my house – I swear it multiplies like rabbits. Making sure my kids do and turn in their homework. Getting my kids to do their chores. Laundry. Go to work 5 days a week (can’t it just be 2 days a week? Or not at all? My work isn’t really that horrible, but I have SO much other stuff to do!)

12. 5 Biggest joys of the moment:
Hanging out with my family and/or friends. Yoga. Snuggling up with a good book and a cup of herbal tea. Eating a really good meal (especially if I didn’t have to cook it). Going to the temple.

Now I'm going to tag Meagan, because she's the only one I know who has a blog that hasn't been tagged. Or, Sheri or Mom, you can start a blog and have this be your first post. (No pressure . . . )

Concert Update

Jarom's band concert is tomorrow night Wed. Dec. 5 at 7:00 pm at the Jr. High. His band teacher put the wrong date on the flyer she sent home.

Amber's chorus concert is Wed. Dec. 19 at 7:00 pm at the Elementary School.

They would love to have anyone come who can.
