Tagged!

I've been tagged. Watch out; you're next!

10 Years Ago:
* I was giving birth to my second child and simultaneously watching a Utah Jazz playoff game between contractions.

Things on my to do list Monday:

* Help with the 4th grade WASL "Waffle Party." It's a sacrifice, as I think it is completely ridiculous to be celebrating the end of a test that every child in the state of Washington has to take. When in life do you get praised and fed waffles for being "tested?" Whatever.

* I also need to get a life on Monday, if I haven't done so before then.


What would I do if I suddenly had a billion dollars --
* Attempt to end world hunger
* Fund my parent's and in-law's missions

* Get a pedicure and a manicure at the same visit and not feel guilty. Wait, I hate manicures. Scratch that.

* Hire a nanny for my dog. Taking him out to pee at 11pm bites.

Three of my bad habits -
* I am a crazed rambler. Especially after 10pm and while watching infomercials. My sisters can all attest to this.
* I drive too fast but hate driving with other people who drive too fast.

* I pull Sean's leg hairs with my toes while he's sleeping. Its fascinating to me that he never wakes up. I also like to throw away his crossword puzzles before he's finished them; that's my passive-aggressiveness getting the better of me. Hey, its tough to get Sean's goat!

Places I have lived:
Colorado, Connecticut, Australia, Africa, South Korea, Utah, Wyoming, Washington, and in a cardboard box under an I-5 overpass. Just kidding about the box. Wanted to see if you were paying attention.

Jobs I have had:
* Child slave (my mom worked me way too hard)
* Teen slave (see above parenthetical reference)
* Restaurant hostess
* Wendy's fast food for two days before my sister-in-law fired me for being mouthy. I like to call it "quick-witted." We're still friends. :)
* Admin at an insurance agency
* Property Management
* Mortgage loan processor, officer, underwriter and eventually owned my own brokerage

Five Things (most)People don’t know about me:
* I like to read several books at once, preferrably before bed. It makes for some crazy dreams.
* Once, as a teenager, I hit a dog, drove off and got caught, as the license plate apparently became embedded in its lifeless body. Sidenote: The dog belong to some people in our ward. Attending that ward was never quite the same after that.
*My picture was taken when I was 8 and used in an informational brochure for an Australian botanical garden. How's that for fame and stardom?
* I sometimes, just for old times sake, pull out my "Buns of Steel 1 starring Greg" video tape. You may laugh, but it kicks your butt.
* I once dated two brothers and a cousin at the same time. I eventually got caught and dumped by all three in the same day.

Sadly, most of you probably know this stuff about me because I can't ever keep my mouth shut. Although I don't think I've ever admitted to the "Buns of Steel" thing.

The first boy I intentionally kissed:
* Kissing Curtis in Kindergarten was a total accident. I'm glad they added the "intentionally kissed." Eric Jackson was my first intentional smooch. And not a very good one, I might add. He was a really sloppy kisser. I think that's why I broke it off.

5 favorite links I visit often….
* my email
* goodreads.com
* msn.com (but not that often)
* Blogs. I'm a blog stalker, so beware.

Who am I going to tag?
Becca. You're it! Send me some funnies. And of course anyone else who wants to play too!
