Looks like I'm it...

I was tagged a while ago (a long while ago) by Amanda. I think it's high time that I get to it. So, Amanda, here are your answers :) :
Rules:
A. Post the Rules
B. Answer all the questions about yourself
C. After you are done posting, tag 5 people.
1) What I was doing ten years ago: This is one of the reasons (the main reason) I avoided doing this post. Ten years ago, I was 'doing time' in a bad marriage and working at Blockbuster.
2) 5 Things on my 'To Do' list today: try to stay awake (thank you, Dr. Pepper-Robyn, please don't let Logan read that!), do laundry, try to find a maternity bra and a Dora dress (the dress was for Savannah, and I didn't find either one.), surf the internet for ideas for school, and pick up a few things from Wal-Mart.
3) Snacks I enjoy: Man, these days the shorter list is things I don't enjoy. I don't go too long without eating when I'm pregnant. I've mostly wanted fruit, noodles, meat, and sugar. I'm completely disturbed by the last one. I try very hard to minimize my sugar intake and that of my family, so making a stop at a store JUST for candy feels very naughty to me. I've crossed over to the dark side, y'all. Yikes!
4) What would I do if I were suddenly a billionaire: Do you mean after I recovered from the shock? I would do all of the responsible things like pay tithing, pay off debt, set some aside for the kids and retirement, and help family out. Then I would build my dream home(complete with a wrap-around porch, land, and a fabulously huge tub), buy a totally sweet truck like the ones I saw last year at the car show at the state fair, and have a day at a spa. Like a whole day. I want to know what it feels like to have a pedicure.(finally get my toes good a did, Alicia!) A ridiculously long one. I'd have a massage (also ridiculously long-we're talking shifts here) and buy the totally luxurious robe that I imagine I'd get to wear. Oh yeah, I'd buy a sleep number bed too. And get music lessons for me and the kids (I suspect John plays the guitar, but he keeps that to himself. I don't know that he'd be game for music lessons). I'd definitely take cooking courses (love to cook, love to eat). Man, this list could get long in a hurry!
5) 3 Bad Habits: I apparently talk constantly about my weight, which is a terrible thing when you birth girls. Gotta quit that. Another is that I worry too much. And last, I let fear keep my from sharing my talents sometimes...too many times. Not good.
6) 5 Places I've Lived: Alabama(born), Georgia (raised), Montana, Utah, and Texas
7) 5 Jobs I've Had: mechanic's assisstant (yes, really. It was pretty much slave labor), teacher's assistant at a daycare for special needs kids(loved those babies!), cashier at Long John Silver's(did that so I could get out early everyday the last semester of my senior year), Administrative assistant at an environmental company(where I learned why they put those big orange balls on telephone or electrical wires), and Elder Care (where I met and cared for angel who, along with her family, took me and Coa in like we were their own).
8) 5 Things People Don't Know About Me: 1)I would secretly LOVE to be involved in some kind of major production, Singing, dancing, the whole bit. It gets me choked up to go to anything like that because I want to do it so much. (I guess the secret's out now!) 2)I wanted to be in the circus for a really long time. What else? Hmmmm...3)I wanted terribly to be an olympic gymnast when I was little. What girl didn't though? 4)I had a relative who carried the torch in the 96 Olympics in Atlanta. I got to hold it after he was done. That was pretty neat. 5) Everytime I lose an eyelash, I make wish (I guess it's a teeny prayer, really)and blow it away.
:)I Tag: Ku'ulei(Hellur!), Alicia(uh-huh), Robyn(Aunt Vovo), Mom(Oi!), Jill (Hey, Miss Jill!!) :)

So why do they put those big orange balls on the telephone wires?

Johnny and Paula's World said...

It makes the wires more visible to the birds so they don't fly into the wires. :)

Alicia said...

Really? I always thought they were weights. OBTW--I did a tag check it out:4-18-08. Thanks for wondering about my brains.

I loved this post! I don't think I've seen it before tonight. I laughed when I read the beginning about how I tagged you. You're so funny. I miss you very much.
