1. What was I doing ten years ago?
Okay, I think I covered this the last time that I was tagged...basically I was working my butt off so that I could graduate high school on time. You are all probably thinking that I was a slacker or something. What happened is that I tried home schooling for a couple of years and then wanted to go back to public school. Unfortunately they wouldn't apply the two years I had done at home so I was two years behind! So while most of my friends had half days their senior year I had not only a full day but I also had independent studies and night school! (Night school--now that's a story for another day...very interesting, night school...). And in fact, after graduation I still had to take a summer school class before I technically "graduated". I think the class was four weeks long and I had finished the curriculum in the first three days--not because I'm super smart. They just made it ridiculously easy. I spent the rest of the time (yes, I was still required to show up even though I had finished all the work) reading books and drawing pictures.
2. Five things on my to-do list today.
Well considering it's nearly 11:00pm this will be for tomorrow. Ummm...get up, take a shower, get breakfast for my family, get everyone dressed for church, maybe leave the house to make it on time for church, go to church, come home, make dinner, relax, get the kids in to bed, relax some more, go to bed. I know. It's daunting just looking at that "to do" list, right? :o)
3. What snacks do I enjoy?
I like popcorn, chips, and candy.
4. What would I do if I were suddenly a billionaire?
I would pay tithing, pay off all our debts, buy a house, buy a new mini van, invest a ton of money, buy lifetime passes to Disneyland (if those existed, that is), fly my family down to visit us whenever they wanted, fly up to visit my family whenever I wanted, travel to dozens of countries that I've always wanted to see, have more kids (hey, if money's not an issue and we have a big house, why not??), buy myself a new wardrobe (I wouldn't go crazy--it would just be nice to have something that hasn't been stained or colored on by the kids), buy Danny and the kids new clothes, set up college savings/mission funds for the kids, put myself through school (I've always wanted to), help people out anonymously (Danny and I have always thought this would be cool!)...this list could really go on and on so I'd better stop here.
5. Three bad habits
Three?? Ummm.....
1. I tend to read or use the computer when I should really be cleaning the house.
2.Video games--although I've actually been better with this one lately...I haven't played in a couple of months.
3. I mentioned this the last time I was tagged--my nasty habit of biting the dry skin around my finger nails. So gross but I totally can't stop doing it either!
6. Five places that I have lived
Okay...
Springfield, Oregon
Marcola, Oregon
Eugene, Oregon
Fort Worth, Texas
And where we live now--California!
7. Five jobs I have had.
At Home (my aunt and uncle's company of imported goods--I worked in the warehouse and retail at two separate times so this counts as two jobs...he he he!)
Pretzelmaker (I really do miss those pretzles...mmmm.)
Selco Credit Union (Oh yeah Mandy! Go Selco!)
Full time stay-at-home mom--by far the hardest job in the world!!
8. Five things people don't know about me.
Wow, five must be the magic number here. Ummm...
1. I signed up for the army right after I turned 18 but soon after realized it was a huge mistake so my parents helped me falsify my birth certificate so I was only 17 making my commitment nonbinding.
2. I did a summer internship with the Peace Corps in Tibet. I worked with indigenous farmers to successfully breed llamas.
3. I absolutely love to exercise! A year ago I purchased an exercise bike that stores energy from my workout which then feeds back into our home's electrical system. In one workout I can power nearly half the lights in our house all day!
4. I find hypnotism fascinating. I read some books on hypnotism and learned how to do it. I'm getting pretty good! Every few weeks I hypnotize Danny to make him to do all the chores that I ask him to do but he never does.
5. I'm really good at making up lies when I'm asked to tell "Five Things People Don't Know About Me". :o)
