I've Been Tagged

I usually skip reading this on other people's blogs unless they are interesting or I am bored (sad huh?) But I think they are fun for writting abour yourself...isn't that what blogs are for?

SO here goes...
A. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning.
B. Each player answers the questions about themselves.
C. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 fellow bloggers.

10 years ago: What was I doing ten years ago? I was a junior in high school sending off a missionary and trying to start dating someone else. Let's just say I was a little boy oriented (I won't say crazy) in high school. I also was loving volleyball, show choir and the other standard (by standard I mean small town) high school fair.

5 things on my to-do list today: 1. Laundry. 2. Laundry. 3. Laundry...can I use it for all five? Or should I shake it up a bit? 4. Shower 5. Make the breakfast casserole for dinner that I have been craving for 3 days and have forgotten to make every day (technically it is supposed to go in the fridge overnight for breakfast but for some reason I have wanted it for dinner, go figure)

Snacks I enjoy: Nacho Doritos, Chips and Salsa (Pace picante mild...closer to spaghetti sauce for some, but a staple for me. I buy it in bulk at Sam's), chocolate (Symphony, Lindt truffles, choco chips, Reese peanut butter cups-only the small ones just the right combo of peanut butter and chocolate),

Things I would do if I were suddenly made a a billionaire: I am fairly certain that I don't comprehend that much money, but I can think of a current wish lish that could get me started...at least in the buy segment. I am sure I would find some savvy investor somewhere who could tell me how to diversify my portfolio so that no one I knew would ever have to work again. And then we would work anyway, somewhere we liked. But I don't think I would want my kids to know. For a start I would probably learn to fly and buy a small plane that I could fly to Nana and Papa's to save me the drive. But then I might be expected to go more than we do now...oh the tradeoffs. Next a nice and by nice, I THINK I would still be reasonable, home here and somewhere fun or a couple of fun somewheres. All new furniture, but I am afraid I would be required to keep our terrible looking circa 1960s turquoise velveteen couch that Steve can do a full superman on and still not touch the edges. Pay off our four-plex and probably buy some more apartments.

3 of my bad habits: 1. Procrastination. I don't really like to work under pressure but I tend to do it anyway, so Dr Laura would probably say that I like it 2. I'm a pile person. Piles of papers, clothes, toys, etc. Even if things have a home, they struggle to make it there, and probably half of it could be thrown out. Danae, please don't visit our home. 3. I tend to shower and get ready when required and not before. Not always true, but I hate getting ready. It seems to waste such valuable time. I have improved since high school when I would roll out of bed and jump in the car when I heard my ride honk. Now at least I will shower if not wet/wash my hair. Please don't judge!


Jobs I have had: Independant court reporter, safety "girl", yes they called me that, at a dirt factory, classroom facilitator for distance ed, Accounting intern for North Atlantic, mom/household CEO

Things people don't know about me: 1. I am bothered by my perceived two facial imperfections, one is my crooked lip which came by falling on my face at my ice skating lesson when I was 10. The other is my smaller eye which I believe started once when I woke up with my eye swollen shut from a bug bite or something. 2. I have never watched a TV series more than a handful of times. I am just not that into it. I think the most times I have ever watched a series was Full House when I was growing up and the first season of the Biggest Loser where we watched like every other one. 3. I don't really let on about what is bothering me. My mom used to have to pry it out and Steve is good to just let me cry, sometimes he even falls asleep waiting for me to tell him something, but he doesn't mind if I wake him back up when I am ready to talk. And yes, he stays awake.

I guess I could tag some people. Kristin, Kylene, Ashley and who ever else feels a need to write up every tag that comes along.
