I've Been Tagged

Tag
1. What was I doing 10 years ago: 10 years ago I made a very unexpected and very quick move to California to live with my brother and his family in El Dorado Hills. There was a lot going on in my life at the time and I felt like I needed to get away to sort things out. Mike had talked to me about spending the summer down there but I didn't really think I would. I called Mike on a Saturday asking if the offer was still good. I went to Pocatello to pack my stuff and left a note for my roommate (and best friend) that I was leaving for the summer. I'd still pay rent and talk to her about it later. I left on a Monday. I cried the whole way there. I met some great people, had a great job, spent time with my brother and most importantly figured out what was most important to me. I left there a different person. It was the best move I ever made (except for moving to Boise!).
2. What is on my to-do list for today? Well, since the day is almost over there isn't much left on the list except to go to bed and hope and pray Tenlee doesn't throw up again. My day consisted of working from 9:30 t0 6:00 at Firebird Raceway, coming home and sleeping for an hour and then cleaning up Tenlee twice from throwing up, cleaning up Baylee's throw up from the smell of Tenlee and trying to keep Josh from throwing up. Good thing the day is over!
3. What would I do if I suddenly became a billionaire? I would probably build a new house on at least 10 acres, buy the car and boat of my dreams, send Josh on his hunting excursion to Alaska with his dad, Don and Doug, go on a huge vacation some place warm with all my family and save and invest everything else. But only after I went on a shopping spree in Italy.
4. 3 Bad habits: (Just 3?) I hate to make the bed! So most days I don't. I bake "not very good for me" treats when I'm bored just because (I don't even want to eat them most of the time). I get caught up in "reality tv" shows instead of doing something worth my time like exercising or cleaning.
5. Places I've lived: Mackay ID, Pocatello ID, El Dorado Hills CA, Boise ID, Meridian ID
6. Places I have worked: The farm, the deli,the farm, the grocery store, the farm, an Outdoor Lighting company, Lamonts, ISU, State Insurance Fund, Health and Welfare
7. Things people don't know about me: I would love to own a restaurant, I'm terrified of fire and snakes but I love frogs and lizards. I was on the Dean's list for 3 years at ISU. I changed my major 3 times in college. I hate, hate, hate to show my emotions, but unfortunately I wear them on my sleeve.

Who will you tag: Erika, Crystal, Missy

Thanks!!! Iguess I better do it since I have been tagged twice before and have never done it. The girls look way cute and I am dying for some of those waffles. Your pancakes are awesome, I can only imagine the waffles (after the trip though). :)
