I've been tagged

I was tagged to do this little survey by my friend Lynn!

What was I doing 10 years ago...

10 years ago was April 1998 and I was a Junior at Grissom High School, working at Family Video part time, driving the good ole' Ford Taurus with racing stripes (made of rust, not paint... it was a lovely car), and since it was April I was doing my whole bat girl thing for my Daddy's team! I kept the book for the baseball team at our high school all four years.

5 things on my to-do list today...

1. Dry my hair and put on makeup so I look half way decent (it's already 2:30pm)
2. Finish the Fruity Chicken Salad recipe I started a few hours ago (So far the Chicken is cooked)
3. Go to ITT to finalize my mom's plane reservation to come to Korea again in June!
4. Do at least ONE load of landry.... the piles of clothes are endless!
5. Watch the results show from American Idol on our slingbox/TIVO with my hubby!

5 snacks I enjoy...
1. Miniature Reese's Cups
2. A single sugar cone of Mint Choco Chip from Baskin Robins!
3. If I were in America, nix the Baskin Robins cone and I'd head out to Ben and Jerry's for a Mint Chocolate Chunk milkshake, no one does milk shakes like B&J's!! (My SIL Rachel introduced me last summer before I came to Korea)!!
4. bottled water with a lipton lemonade packet (at least 3 of these a day).
5. if I have baked goodies around the house I will nibble on them all day until they are gone, which is why I don't keep baked goodies (cookies, brownies, etc) around the house...


5 things I would do if I were a billionaire...
1. I would do lots of charity stuff with the money... supporting missionaries, etc...
2. I know this sounds really shallow, but the first thing I would do would be to go buy an entire wardrobe of designer clothes! I LOVE designer clothes... they look and feel so good on!!! :) And just so we are clear on this, shoes and accessories (purses, sunglasses, etc) are included in this whole designer clothes bit... :)
3. Purchase and pay off a house...not too big (but then again I could afford to hire a maid to clean, right?!?) and not too small... but definitely with a state of the art kitchen with multiple ovens/freezers/refrigerators for entertaining!!!
4. TRAVEL! There is so much of the world I want to see!!! And I would always take 1) another couple/family with children because John and I have decided vacations are more fun when we have another couple to do stuff with AND 2) a babysitter for Caden and the other kids
5. And I would invest in trying new things and perfecting my current hobbies! Golf lessons, more equipment for photography, etc...

5 bad habits...
1. Talking too much
2. Interrupting
3. Keeping the clean dishes in the dishwasher (like it's a cabinet) until the sink is full and the dishwasher is empty... rinse, load, wash, and repeat!! :) This is something "Pre-Mommy-Amanda" would NEVER have done!
4. Checking my email/blogs/etc before I feel like I can start my day... it's BAD!
5. I pretty much drink bottled waters with Lipton Lemonade Packets in them all day long... but the bad habit is when a bottle sits out for too long and gets warm, I just leave it laying around and get a new one out... Every day or two I accumulate quite a collection of half empty bottled waters!

5 places I've lived...
1. Huntsville, AL (birth until college)
2. Florence, AL (for college)
3. Fort Riley, KS (my first duty station as a military spouse)
4. Fort Lee, VA (2nd duty station)
5. Pyongtaek City, S. Korea/Osan Air Base (3rd duty station)

5 jobs I've had...
1. Video store clerk
2. Day Care Teacher
3. Tutor
4. 4th Grade Teacher
5. I called myself a "Stay at Home Wife" before we had Caden because we've moved so much the last few years I haven't worked... but now I'm a much more legitimate sounding Stay At Home Mom!

TAG! Now YOU are it...
