5 things I was doing 10 years ago


1. Getting ready to go on my mission. I left in April, I went into the MTC the day after my last final. And although I'm trying to cool it a little, I still seem to run my life this way. I was in charge of scheduling our flights back from Europe 3 years ago, and I booked the flights so tight that we were running the WHOLE way, and we still missed two connections. It was really embarrassing when they had to do an on spot search through my luggage and found my dirty undies (G's).

2. Trying to get in all the dating I could before the mission. I think it worked. There were a lot of boys at my farewell, and two of them were in the MTC with me.

3. Attending the Y.

4. Living with my folks to save money.

5. Working at Office Max in the Copy Center.


5 things on my to-do list Today


1. Laundry.

2. Find a dentist for our family.

3. Train Brooklyn to stay in her room at bed time. (So far we've been lazy parenting and just locking her door, she usually plays in her room for a while before falling asleep.)

4. Do physical therapy with Devin. He is caught up, but we still have to work on the bending and twisting at his trunk.

5. Take the garbage to the curb. Tomorrow is garbage Day!


5 snacks I enjoy


1. Doritos, I'll eat the whole bag if I'm not careful. Damon loves them as well. I asked him not to buy them any more (due to the above mentioned habit), and he accused me of trying to change his eating. I tried to convince him this was really for me, and not for him.

2. Oreos - another weekness.

3. Kettle corn, Damon converted me.

4. Cookies and Cream Ice Cream, again Damon converted me. This is the yummiest when you eat actual oreos and the ice cream together, yum.

5. And of course chips and salsa. They run though my veins, I swear.


5 things I would do if I were a billionaire.


1. Freakin' relax about the bills.

2. Pay of all debts, and all those of my loved ones.

3. Travel, of course, I haven't been able to feed that addiction in a while.

4. Charity and Research, wouldn't that be great?

5. Invest, I have to say it, Damon has brain washed me.


3 bad habits


1. I can't stay focused on one task, it's like I've become too good at multi-tasking. Thus, I can't get anything done.

2. Getting uptight if we're late. I'm working on that one, because I'm married to Damon, and he is ALWAYS late.

3. Picking at Stuff also. Damon and both of the kids hate it. Damon said he is going to create a ball that just has stuff I can pick at. I imagine it would be something like catnip for women. I wouldn't be able to stop until it was all unraveled.


5 jobs I've had


1. DMT publishing. I loved it, I designed the book covers, and such.

2. Bear West Environmental Company. I was a part time secretary, and mostly I just surved the web.

3. Nomen Global. I taught English as a Second language, but I only taught one semester, because I forgot to give them my upcoming semester schedule, so they didn't give me any classes on the schedule. Oops.

4. Mstar.net. Liz Hutchins got me this job/internship. It paid more than the job I have now.

5. Office Max. Fun and Interesting. Got my start in the copy business.


5 things people probably don't know about me


1. I love to make lists, because I love to cross things off them when I get them done. Does this say anything about me?

2. I think books are sexy. I love the way they look on a shelf, especially fiction, because that's what I read, and they have the best cover art.

3. Damon and I made out on a park bench in Italy.

4. I smell books. Actually, I open them and smell their pages. A habit I picked up at DMT because you can tell if it was printed on a press or a copier.

5. I always, always read the publisher's page in any book I read, even children's books. They are very interesting.


The truth is I only know 3 people who blog. And I only tonight discovered that Terra blogs, so I tag Terra and Chantal.
