5 Things....

I'm jumping on the 5 list that Leah and Amanda entertained me with on their respective blogs:

5 Things I was Doing 10 Years Ago:

I was at Rick's College enjoying a full social life and, as usual, not studying or doing homework.
I was working at a middle school as a special education assistant. I quickly realized that I never wanted to be a special ed. teacher.
I was auditioning for The Secret Garden. I made call-backs, but didn't get the part I was auditoning for. I didn't even get a part in the choir! It was a very bitter moment for me.
I was learning to snowboard at a local ski resort owned by my then bishop so it was free. Otherwise I never would have gone. I lost my glasses on the ski lift, then spent the rest of the day looking for them. I can't believe I thought I would find them!
I was sharing a room with a crazy roommate who always set our bedroom thermostat at 90 degrees Fahrenheit, and who liked to lay around in her granny panties all day.

5 Things on my TO DO list:

well, you saw my normal, every day to do list, so I will write down 5 things from my to do before I die list:

Thoroughly explore Europe
Have my own shop
Marry a rich man and have more babies
Speak fluent Spanish
Help single moms achieve great things

5 Snacks I love but probably shouldn't eat/drink:

Cheddar and Sour Cream Ruffles
Coke
Sugar Cookies
RockStar Energy drinks (only the purple one- the others are gross)
Fritos

If I were a billionaire:

Give my parents 1/2 of my fortune
Start my own businesses and build a big, beautiful house that I could live in for the rest of my life
Set my siblings up for life
Put away money for Kacey's mission and college
Give Sue Jacobs a chunk of my fortune so that she could buy herself a Cadillac and quit working forever

5 bad habits:

I have no self-discipline in any area of my life. This definitely counts as 5 bad habits.

5 Places I have lived:

Fallbrook, CA
St. Simons Island, GA
Brunswick, GA
Nashville, TN
Peru, NY

5 Jobs I have had:

Bun warmer at Mack's
Movie Gallery in Brunswick
Home Depot in Lindon , UT
Financial Aid at the University of Utah
Bath & Body Works in Plattsburgh, NY

I may go back to work at Bath & Body Works. I actually liked working there because I could work as little as I wanted and I liked everyone I worked with. I never had to work Sundays either.

Never working on Sunday's is a very good reason to go back to work there.

hey, you lost those glasses snowboarding when i was your roommate and i certainly DID NOT lay around in my granny panties all day! half a day, maybe, and i didn't know there were any other kind of panties! i remember when we fearfully called Daddy to tell him you lost your glasses. you said, "Dad, don't be mad, but i went snowboarding and i lost..." and he cut you off and said, "you lost your eye." and you said, "no! just my glasses." he was so relieved and said he'd send the money for new ones. we decided that from then on, every time we wanted money for something (my job at artco didn't leave us sitting in the lap of luxury, or even higher than the butt of luxury), so when we needed money, we were just going to call Dad and say, "Aramie lost her eye. just kidding! we just need $100!" that picture of Kacey is so beautiful. i love that girl. she's so sweet and proper. want to trade? Darby's sweet, too, when she's not kicking you in the throat or pooping in the tub or screaming, "no!" and slapping at you. today, she touched a lightbulb in the lamp and burned her finger (very moderately). i put her on a box and had her run her little hands under the faucet for a while. then, she tried to touch the lamp again. i honestly think she did it so that she could play in the water again. like, it was worth it to her to get burned just so that she could play in the water. she's out of control!

I think Sue would love to hear that you're going to set her up for life. Sounds like a plan. I also enjoyed your sister's story about the eye. Funny stuff.

Your ship finally came in. Come and collect your award at my blog.

I really only awarded you because you told Leah that I am the funniest. That cements our friendship for the eternities.
