I noticed yesterday while catching up on some blog-reading that I'd been tagged three times. Oops! Sorry! But I don't remember getting any messages on MY blog so that's my excuse for being tardy in posting this :)

1. What was I doing 10 years ago.
Living in a nice quiet trailer park in Michigan, just three doors down from my sister. Being Mommy to an almost 3 yr old and mommy/nurse to a 4 month old baby who had just put us through the ringer with life-threatening events of apnea, a 3 week hospital stay, 2 surgeries (pyloromyotomy and nissen fundoplication, for you nurses out there) in addition to a diagnosis of congenital hypothyroidism (aren't you glad you asked?)

2. 5 Things to Do Today

1. laundry (including sort clothes for storage)
2. dishes
3. vacuum
4. clean toilets
5. pick up girls from school
   

3. Snacks I enjoy
It might be easier to list snacks I DON'T enjoy which would include most anything with nuts and Combos (puke!)
But my all time favorites would have to be:
M&Ms - plain only - and Pepsi
Pringles - plain, light
Munchos


4. If I was a billionaire I would:
Give, give, give
Pay all debts
Build a nice but not frivolous house
Be generous enough to offer someone a job to clean for me :)
Probably splurge on a trip to Europe (Denmark, Germany and Austria to be specific)
Still make my kids earn their own money
Invest
Who knows what else, how long does a billion really last?

5. 3 bad habits I have

1. Being tardy
2. Procrastinating (found out I got this from my father and that didn't help me at all since I wanted to be like Daddy!)
3. Losing whatever book I'm reading, my debit card, my cell phone and my keys (so how is it that I'm the best FINDER in the family for everyone elses stuff?!?!?)
   

6. Some places I have lived
-Parent's home, Shepherd, MI (1971 to Feb 1988; Aug 1989 to Oct 1993)
-Apt with parents, Millmont, PA (Feb 1988 to Aug 1989)
-Duplex with new husband, Mt. Pleasant, MI (Oct 1993 to Sept 1994)
-Brand new mobile home, Shepherd, MI (Sept 1994 to July 1999) with the latest trends: 14x70 (new width and length - so long the back bedroom hung OFF the cement pad!) vinyl siding and six inch walls - we chose all options on and I got to choose all the colors
-House provided as perk of Minister of Music position, New Castle, IN (July 1999 to July 2003)
-Rental house, Michigantown, IN (July 2003 to Oct 2004)

5 people to know more about
I don't have a clue who has been tagged and who hasn't. So if you are a regular reader of my blog and you haven't, YOU'RE IT!

This wouldn't have taken me so long if I wasn't so detailed :) Boy am I thirsty now from all that chatter!
