I've Been Tagged

Well, here I am, again. When I started this blog, we were in the middle of packing, moving, birthdays and Christmas. What was I thinking? Since my one and only post, I have been busy unpacking, painting, playing nurse (to my sick family), and my most favorite thing to do, clean. I have been stalking my friend's blogs for the last year, so it's time I joined in the blogging world. While stalking one of my good friends, Becky at The Cornwalls, I found out she "Tagged" me. This was an effort on her part to "get off my butt" and start blogging. I just hope husband will release my digital camera cords to me (I had to clean and organize my office, which I did). I think he's misplaced them. He is my 2nd post.

10 Years Ago......
I was living in Ferndale, WA (1 mile away from my in-laws). Mac was 2. I had just celebrated my 7th wedding anniversary. I was a Department Manager of the Shoe Department of Nordstrom Rack in Bellingham, WA. Husband had just started his own business partnered with his Dad. We were talking about me cashing out my profit sharing (retirement) to pay off ALL of our debt, quitting Nordstrom, and being a full time stay at home mom to Mac. I was approaching my 10 year High School Class Reunion. I remember it being a stressful time.

Things on my Monday to-do list:
-Clean the bathrooms.
-Mop the floors.
-Plan dinner menu's for next 2 weeks.
-Do 2 loads of laundry.
-(The sun came out and we ended up going to the park :-)

What would I do if I suddenly had a billion dollars:
-Pay of our mortgage.
-Buy a new car (Toyota Land Cruiser)
-Pay off our Debts and my families debts as well.
-Make husband quit his job (so he can build us our dream house).
-Put the rest in the bank.

3 of my bad habits:
-Eat too much.
-I spend to much time on the computer (this blog adding to my bad habit).
-Procrastinate.

Places I've lived:
-Ellensburg, WA (I was born there)
-Yakima, WA (I was raised there)
-Seattle, WA
-Ferndale, WA
-Salt Lake City, UT
-Clinton, WA (South Whidbey Island)
-Lake Stevens/Everett, WA (I will probably die here)

Jobs I've had:
-Wendy's
-Orange Julius
-Squire Shop (a men's store that has now closed)
-Nordstrom
-Wife
-Mom of 2 boys
-Football Team Mom

5 Things (most) people don't know about me:
-I repelled off the balcony inside of my High School into the Library, during class time, with 2 guy friends, and didn't get caught. (I felt very James Bond).
-I'm very affraid of heights. (so doing the above was a big deal)
-I went to college for 1 quarter.
-I have dyslexia (hence not wanting to go to college).
-When I was a teenager, my bedroom was so messy, you couldn't see the floor.

First boy I intentionally kissed:
I kissed alot of boys, but I don't remember being the one instigating it. It was mutual.
First boy I ever kissed was in Kindergarten, and I don't remember his name.

5 sites I visit often:
-msn.com (home page)
-gmail.com
-google.com
-my bank's website
-friends blogs

Okay. I am new to this. And for once, I am NOT going to tag anyone, being that I haven't e-mailed anyone with this blog site yet. This is enough, and I'm almost tramatized.
