5 Things Meme

I have been tagged by two newbies. I love them both. I remember the day we talked about me having a blog. They laughed at me. Now I chuckle because they are as addicted as I am!!! YAY for blogging! Thanks Alice and The Rookie!


5 Things I Was Doing 10 Years Ago:

1. I had just gotten married! WOOT!!! We had just come home from our honeymoon where we watched absolutely no television...we had better things to do. When we did come home we discovered Princess Diana had died.
2. Getting fitted for my Matron of Honors dress for ItyBtyFrog.
3. Playing house and setting up our new little dive. I loved that terrible apartment.
4. I was starting my junior year of college...that I never finished.
5. I can't think of a fifth. I think planning a wedding, getting married and going on a honeymoon qualify as quite a lot for that year.


5 Things on my to-do list today

1. Clean out storage room. Almost done. If I can just figure out what to do with all of the craft things that I will never get around to doing.
2. Make dinner. Chili and cornbread. Check.
3. Finish painting The Princesses bed. Check.
4. Laundry. Three loads. Check
5. Take care of sick kids while being sick myself. Check.


5 Snacks I enjoy

1. Chips. I LOVE chips. Except for BBQ. Blech!
2. Crunchy red grapes
3. Hot chocolate
4. Cinnamon bears
5. Ice water. I know, technically not a snack, but I drink it like it is going out of style.


5 Songs I know the lyrics to

1. Bananaphone by Raffi. It is the first song on my kids favorite cd. I memorized it by default.
2. "We Didn't Start the Fire" by Billy Joel. I had to learn this for my Junior History class. I have never forgotten it.
3. "Breathe" by Anna Nalick. It is The Pea's favorite song. I love hearing her belt it out from the back seat. We play it so often I can't help but know all of the words.
4. That Delila song by I don't know who. The Princess loves it. Again, one that is listened to all of the time.
5. "Mary Jane's Last Dance" Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Has to be one of my all time favorites.


5 Things I would do if I were a millionaire

1. Pad our retirement.
2. Look at investment opportunities.
3. Put money in an account for our daughters weddings. I have three to think about you know!
4. Travel Europe with my family
5. I want to say pay off my house, but I really want to do other things. Also, I think I would be crazy if DH didn't have someplace to go everyday. I had him working from home for 5 years. I can't imagine what it would be like if he weren't working that entire time. So instead I would get some "work" done.


5 Bad Habits

1. I start projects and rarely finish them.
2. I bite my nails.
3. I am a chronic snacker. I need to stop the grazing!
4. I scratch my head while I am trying to fall asleep. It drives dh bonkers.
5. I! use! way! too!! many! exclamation! points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


5 Things I'd never wear again

1. A ribbon in my hair. I wear scarves. I will leave the ribbon wearing to little girls.
2. Overalls. Not quite for the over 4 years old set. I even have a pair of maternity ones that I know are uber comfy, but there is just no way.
3. A br@ under a size d. This makes me sad.
4. Maternity clothes. After this baby I am BURNING THEM!!!
5. Patterned underwear under a light dress. Not my smartest move. I didn't realize that people at church could see my Mickey Mouse underp@nts.


5 Favorite toys

1. My squeezable Strawberry Shortcake baby doll
2. My Pound Puppy and her litter
3. My "Herself the Elf" dolls. I know of hardly anyone who remembers these. I loved them!
4. Barbies and the Barbie house my dad made for me.
5. Books. I would stay up until 3 in the morning to read a book I had read a thousand times before. I still do that once in a while.
