So Karla over at Untangling Knots did this meme today and she didn’t tag anyone in particular but said that anyone who wanted to could join in. And who am I to deny blog fodder? So here goes. Hold onto your butts!
What were you doing 10 years ago?
Wow, ten years ago. Let’s see, shall we? That would have been June of 1997. Holy Moses. I was probably back at home during the summer break from college and either a) working my arse off or b) looking for a job so I could work my arse off. I believe that was the summer I worked at this one awful technical staffing firm as an office peon/receptionist/punching bag. I HATED that job. Being a “temp” I got dumped on a lot by the other office staff. I remember talking to Kile on the phone a lot that summer (he was working up here in Reno) and complaining to him about that stupid job. To add insult to injury, I had to either sit in bumper to bumper traffic to get to this job or take a lightrail and then a commuter train to get there. GAH. That was the summer we were planning our wedding as well and I think I was in the midst of selecting my wedding dress at this time ten years ago. And we were one month out from my weekend trip to Reno where Kile officially proposed at the 4th of July fireworks show. Aww.
What were you doing 1 year ago?
One year ago I was feeling rather cranky. Apparently, it was hot (not so much right now, it got into the 30’s last night and we’re looking at a beautiful high of 71 degrees today. Hot dog!) and I was tired and hungry and very uncomfortable. And I was starting to suspect that the baby in my uterus was in fact a boy and not a girl like everyone was thinking. Did I call that or what? So the long and short of it: I wasn’t doing much. Besides feeling rather sorry for myself, that is.
Five Snacks You Enjoy:
- Kettle Chips
- Reese’s Pieces

- cottage cheese
Five Things You Would Do If You Were a Millionaire:
- Buy a new car for me and for Kile
- Buy a new house in a nicer neighborhood
- Buy a new bed because ours is seriously dysfunctional
- Landscape my backyard (though theoretically, if we did #2 we might be buying a house with an already landscaped backyard which would be NICE)
- Put the rest in the bank. Boring, right?
Five bad habits:
- Forgetting to take my thyroid medicine
- Not replying to personal emails
- Not answering my phone OR listening to messages on the answering machine
- I can’t call up anyone on the phone
- Is laziness a habit?
Five Things You Like To Do:
- Watch movies with my family
- Go out to eat
- Take a long walk on a cool, summer evening
- Sleep in

Five Things You Would Never Wear Again:
- A bathing suit. At least without a serious cover-up on to hide the public’s innocent eyes.
- Any heels over 3 inches high
- Miniskirts
- tube tops or other strapless garments
- thong underwear
Five Favorite Toys

- My blog (it’s a toy because I’m constantly playing with it)
- The xbox. :) Of course!
So who am I tagging? Uhm…. Zoot, Cagey, Brit annnndddd… anyone else who feels like doing it. If you do do it, leave me a comment here so I can go peek at your answers. :)
This is me. I'm a thirtysomething stay at home mom to three kids. For years I was a stay at home mom to one kid and trying very hard to have more. It took a LONG time (ie: 6 1/2 years), but finally Liam arrived and charmed us with his blue eyes and ginormous, round head. Then we got a shock: I was pregnant again and this time it was a GIRL. Our hearts and home are full at last and now that we're done having babies, we get to relax (snort) and watch them grow (not too fast now, you hear?). Thanks for coming by, feel free to dip into my archives, read my About and History pages (just don't do Jackson's Story without tissues!) and make yourself at home.
