Holly Hox tagged me!

Ok, so I asked her to do it...but I couldn't help it! She looked like she was having so much fun going over all that stuff and I just have SO MUCH I WANT TO SAY!!! So, without any further delay...

1. What I was doing 10 years ago...
So 10 years ago was eh....1998. Thats right! How could I forget?! In '98 I decided that I couldn't live another day away from Monterey, California, so we moved back to the Presidio for round two...Spanish Basic. It was SO nice! The instructors were TOTALLY different from the Russian Gulag of '93 and actually ENCOURAGED us to go out and have fun! So, we did. We made routine trips to the Farmer's Market, Cannery Row, Lover's Point, Carmel, and the Santa Cruz Board Walk. Gnarly. Of course, all good things come to an end and I rounded out the year with a 4 month TDY to West Texas (barf) and then...la pièce de résistance ...two months of SERE school to get my butt utterly kicked. I'm SO glad that's 10 years behind me!

2. 5 things on my to do list today...
1-smooch my wife.
2-get caught up on paperwork.
3-take a nap at work.
4-avoid getting caught taking a nap at work (I love the George Costanza desk
bed!)
5-did I mention smooching yet? oh yeah, smooch my wife!


3. Snacks I enjoy
Where is the ALL key on my computer? Basically, if its a snack, I like it. And of course, that excludes all "snacks" that contain tofu, soy, or grow from a tree, vine or bush...those aren't really snacks, they're horrible snack imposters! By definition, a snack must contain: chocolate, sugar, chocolate, and some type of creamy choco-latty center.

4. What I would do if I became a millionaire?
I would never travel more than 100 paces away from a sandy/ocean environment. Some totally lost place in the Keys maybe? And I would read a mountain of books! I would never talk on the phone again and I would spend at least 50% of my time underwater. You can never dive too much.

5. 3 bad habits
1-I eat snacks
2-I am WAY too creative about coming up with reasons to not go
to the gym.
3-I'm a terrible procrastinator!

6. Places I have lived. Let's just name states or it will take too long, and deployments don't count.

* Idaho
* Washington
* Indiana
* France
* Utah
* New Mexico
* California
* Arizona
* Texas
* Virginia
* Florida

7. Jobs I have had:
Fast food jockey (A&W!), life guard, horse wrangler, kayak instructor, CNA (crappy job....literally), I worked in a women's retail clothing store called "The Closet", of all the names! (and don't ask, because I won't tell!), spud sorter, Army dude, Air Force dude, and FBI dude.

8. 5 things people don't know about me.
1-I'm short. I think a few people suspect it, but they don't really know for sure!
2-I love roller coasters. In fact anything that goes EXTREMELY fast I like.
3-I can't play basketball (see numero uno.)
4-I went to school to be an engineer, but I can't do math. Actually, its much worse than that. I can't count...at all. Numbers just simply elude me somehow. Oh well, c'est la vie.
5-Spiders scare the ever livin' crap-O-la outta me. Not just the creeps mind you, but total and complete paralysis. I'd rather be shot at than have to deal with an arachnid.

So now I'm tagging Corby & Matt Ham! Thats right fellas...answer up!

While I was away Ammie tagged me

I'm sure you are all anxiously awaiting my answers.

1. What I was doing 10 years ago?

In the year 1998 I was pregnant with number 3, Emma. Dave had rejoined the military in the Airforce this time and he was going through training while I packed up the apartment in Logan, UT in preparation to move to Monterey, CA.

2. 5 things on my to do list today.

* Update my blog
* Make a dental appointment
* Do laundry
* Do dishes
* Take a nap

3. Snacks I enjoy

When I'm in a snacky mood anything in the house is game. I have been known to eat whole jars of green olives, cheese, fruit snacks, any chocolate Dave has hidden away, peanut butter and marshmallows on saltine crackers melted in the microwave, and beware any treats that have been "saved" for a later time because they are not safe when I am on the prowl.

4. What I would do if I became a millionaire?

Not anything too exciting. I would buy a house, 3 cars, braces for the kids, pay off all debt, put money aside for missions and weddings, spend $5000 on a new wardrobe(what not to wear), travel with Dave all over the world, build a brand new house for my parents, write a book about becoming a millionaire, and try to remember to be generous to friends and the little people who got me there.
