A Little Overdue...

I decided after reading my s.i.l., Rachelle's, post that I would go ahead and do this post... I too had never been "tagged" until about 4 weeks ago (ok, maybe a little longer than that) and then I was tagged a lot all at once. To date, I think it's been 4 times. Maybe 5... I'm not sure. I've lost count. While I've never felt so loved, I've also never felt quite like such a slow-poke! I actually started filling my responses to the first two tags in a word document, and I haven't kept up with the others... I've decided that I can't! I hope my response to these two will satisfy all!!! =D



Fives:

Five years ago, I:

1. Was attending LDS Business College, preparing to finish my degree the next semester.

2. Was attempting to figure out where I’d go from there.

3. Taught the 4^th Sunday lessons in R.S. and absolutely loved it.

4. Was working at Lonestar… the fourth in three states (pretty impressive, I know)

5. Was introduced to Cranium at Girls Night with some Lonestar coworkers.

Five things on today's "To Do" list:

1. Do the dishes

2. Fold laundry

3. Prep my English lesson

4. Mop the kitchen floor

5. Figure out how to use the mop

Five snacks I enjoy:

1. Bliny—thin Russian pancakes (think crepes) stuffed with lots of yummy things--sweet to savory--sweet are my favorite!!

2. Ice cream

3. Creamy Rooibos tea

4. Rahat candies (freshly made from a local factory here)

5. Cucumber & tomato salads with fresh dill and a lot of salt. YuM!!!

Five things I would do if I were a millionaire:

1. Pay tithing

2. Invest for children & retirement

3. Buy a house

4. Help family

5. Help others around me (preferably anonymously)

Five places I have lived:

1. Virginia Beach, Virginia

2. Sandy, Utah

3. Mesa, Arizona

4. Williamsburg, Virginia

5. Almaty, Kazakhstan

Five jobs I have had:

1. Spiegel Brands Inc. (Executive Assistant)

2. DMH, Attorney at Law (Legal Assistant)

3. Lonestar Steakhouse (Server & sometimes Asst Manager)

4. Einstein Bagels (grunt worker)

5. Westminster-Canterbury (server)

Tell about 6 of your quirks:

1. I am a very tactile person and have bought things (mostly just clothes) simply because they felt soft to me…

2. I’ve been known to get into trouble for laughing. Probably because I have a tendency to get the giggles at the worst time (like during prayers). [I am progressively getting better]



3. As a youth/young adult I never mulled over “girly” things like my future wedding (and all the details), decorating my home (before I had one of my own), where I would live with my future (at the time non-existent) husband [isn’t he happy about that!], naming children, etc.



4. I guard my food. Chris loves to tease me that he’s going to steal it because I always react to his teasing (with a horrified, protective look over my food).



5. I avoid watching t.v. for a number of reasons, one of which being that I have a tendency to zone out—where I don’t even realize people are talking to me. It apparently runs in the family.



6. I hate picking favorites—the reason why is probably the quirkiest part about it—somewhere in me I feel like if I were to, for example, say yellow was my favorite color then it means I don’t like hunter green as much, and I really like hunter green, so it’s not really fair to demote it. I think there’s also a small part of me that thinks it would hurt hunter green’s feelings. (We won’t go into the fact that a color has no feelings, ok?... ^_^)
