Lucky Are You!

Lucky for all my avid readers I was procrastinating and avoiding studying for my test tomorrow by checking my blog, as well as my Aunt Patrice's and noticed that I was "tagged!" So not only am I fulfilling my "tagged" status, I'm also blogging! What a great day!

Tagged

A. The rules are posted at the beginning .
B. Each player answers the questions about themselves.
C. At the end of the post, the player then tags fellow bloggers.

10 years ago: I was at the awkward eleven years of age attending White Pine Intermediate School as a 5th grader. I was improving my Uno skillls by playing every day, while also learning Spanish from my teacher, Mrs. Armenta -- who called my friend Whitney Beck and I "little diablos." I later learned that means "devils" in Spanish! I also sat by Whit and Brandt Hines in our close-knit group that we named "The Rootin' Tootin' Cows" - complete with song and all. What a great year!

5 things on my to do list today: 1. Start training for my next half marathon(which I'll have you know that I did run 4 miles today!) 2. Study for my Marketing test that I haven't started studying for 3. Write a thank you 4. Get to bed before 11:30 5. Buy bread, milk, yogurt, and cheese:)

Snacks I enjoy: Crisp, juicy Fuji apples, vanilla ice cream, carrots, fruit snacks, and , toast with honey

Things I would suddenly do if I were suddenly made a billionaire: I would donate about a million to light the whole Quad at Christmastime, I'd build a lodge/cabin someplace really cool, I'd travel to Boston and go to a couple Red Sox games, as well as take my dad and whoever else would like to go to the major league stadiums around the country, go to school to learn more about everything, and then put the rest into savings!

3 of my bad habits: 1. I stress about time - a lot - and sometimes the stress gets to me any makes me want to swear! 2. I feel guilty about not getting enough done in my day, not visiting enough people, not keeping in touch, etc. 3. I silently correct people's speech in my head, sometimes - most of this I learned from Deidra!

Jobs I have had: beet hoer, irrigation specialist, file manager for a doctor, lab assistant, peer advisor and mentor, A-Team facilitator and coordinator, keeping people sane while they try to accomplish too much, and resident HSM expert

Things that people don't know about me: I secretly wish for the 80's and early 90's styles to come back! I would never have to worry about my hair being too frizzy or big or naturally white-trash; I wouldn't have to worry about my clothes being too bright or too awkward; I could wear Exclamation! every day and it'd be cool! -- honestly, I wouldn't have to worry about anything!

To be fair to everyone I'm not going to tag anyone because really, I don't know who has been tagged and who hasn't!
Have a great day! And until next time. . . enjoy the warmer weather and eat some ice cream -- because it's good and good for you!

I don't know if it's me or you that can't do math. You were in 5th grade the same year I was in 8th grade?

Can you stop being busy so that we can play? Thanks.

well, i figure if i subtract 10 from my age now(21) i would have been 11, which i believe i would have been in about the 5th grade. yeah, i'm not math major, but i think i got that one right!
