Since I'm Up Anyway . . .

I was tagged a few days ago by Beth at Nutwood Junction.  It has been so long since I've actually received a "tag" that her "You've been tagged!" at the end of her comment to one of my entries almost went unnoticed.  I actually did a "double-take".

So I will perform my duties now.  Here are the rules:

1. The rules of the game get posted at the beginning.
2. Each player answers the questions about themselves.
3. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

QUESTIONS:

1) What was I doing 10 yrs ago?

In 1998 I was, as I am now, a stay-at-home mom, although I believe I was working part-time for a caterer.  Thomas was working where he is now, actually.  Andrew was 8 years old, and joyful little third grader.  He was becoming more social, with neighborhood friends dropping by to play video games and calling on the phone.  Eler Beth was 2 years old, and the same whirlwind she is now, only with shorter legs and a shorter attention span.  My father was still living then, too.  We were just getting ready to buy our house.

2) What are 5 things on my to-do list for today (not in any particular order):

1.  Call to make a dentist's appointment for Andrew.

2.  Print out some social studies lessons for Eler Beth.

3.  Gas up my car before the prices go up again tonight!!

4.  Pull some tenderloin out of the freezer for dinner.

5.  Call my Mom.

3) Snacks I enjoy:

  Popcorn, Triscuit crackers, Grapes, Almond Joy bars, Bananas

4) Things I would do if I were a billionaire:

Pay my kids college fees, give my Mom, sisters, and brother, WHATEVER they wanted, buy Thomas the property he wants for hunting and fishing and then build my dream house on it, give Andrew the best graduation party he could imagine this year, oh my, where would I stop??

5) Five of my bad habits:

I twirl my hair,

twiddle my thumbs,

hum a lot,

stay up too late at night,

and pop my knuckles. 

Wouldn't I look pretty demented if I were doing all those things at once?

6) 5 places I have lived:

Hardinsburg, Kentucky;

Louisville, Kentucky;

Harned, Kentucky;

and Jeffersonville, Indiana. 

That's it, just four places.  Five if you consider that I grew up actually living just outside of Hardinsburg, and then I lived within the city limits of Hardinsburg for a while when we were first married.

7) 5 jobs I have had:

Layout artist, proofreader, and features writer for a newspaper;

HR liaison for a gravure company;

comptroller for a food broker;

document management clerk for an insurance company;

office manager for a welding company.

5 people I'll tag:

Pam

Jenny

Shelly

Roxie
