I'm so glad when Daddy comes home

We had a great Father's day visit from Daddy, who's still working hard in Colorado.

ok, Jeni, I'll bite..

:)
I've been 'tagged.' Or I should say, I've been tagged again. Others have tried to tag me before, to no avail. But I just love Jeni to death, so here goes...

1. What was I doing 10 years ago?
Ten years ago today, I had just barely graduated high school. I was 17. I worked full time taking customer service calls for an electrical company (yay for utah county job opportunities..) for a whopping $9.50 an hour. And I was beyond excited about starting college at Dartmouth in the fall. That seems like 2 lifetimes ago! Oh, and it also seems weird that 10 years ago, I left home about a mile from where I now live. I've come full circle in the Happy Valley game...

2. What are 5 things on my to-do list today?
I'm going to answer this one for tomorrow. Tomorrow I need to: 1) Finally unload the grass out of the lawnmower bag before it stinks us out of the garage (sorry folks, but you get the gory details).. 2) Shower! The fact that this makes it on to my to-do list should tell you something that you probably didn't want to know about me.. 3) Last-minute father's day shopping 4) Insert a long list of house cleaning chores here that probably won't get done.. and my favorite - 5) Take my kids to the carnival- Orem Summerfest. They always talk about it for weeks to come, and it's such a blast - I love taking them to fairs and carnivals!

3) What are some snacks I enjoy?
I'm going to have to stick with foods that don't require chewing because right now I'm in serious need of a root canal and anything chewier than yogurt isn't working out so much. I have some super delicious fudge in the house, which is fabulous, but I'd love to have a big salad and I'm looking forward to the day when chewing isn't torture!

4) Things I would do if I were a billionaire
I'd travel a lot, eat really good food (once that root canal's done) and set up a fund for relieving financial stress - I have 10 names in mind already - and I'd probably spend a lot of time keeping tabs on the stock market to see if I was still a billionaire. :)

5) Places I've lived (in order)
Mexico, Utah, Massachusetts, Utah, New Hampshire, Colorado, Utah (are we noticing a pattern here?)
Life is crazy!

I'm tagging:
all 3 people who read my blog - you know who you are, now get busy!
