5 Things Tag...

Apparently I have been tagged by Corynn (my niece). I don't even know what that means, except that I know I have to think deeply which may just put me over the edge today... But here goes!

5 Things on my list to do today (I started this yesterday - so this is actually 5 things from yesterday - and I did them all!)


  1. Take Tayler and Saige to Gymnastics - pick up 1 1/2 hours later, take them to Piano - pick up an hour later.
  2. Go Grocery Shopping and take the kids to the library.
  3. Pick up the house and clean and polish my kitchen cabinets - get my girls to help!
  4. Work on vinyl for the 10 people waiting for me to finish their jobs... sorry if you are one of them!
  5. Get Tayler and Saige ready for their Dance Review - This means making sure everyone has EVERYTHING, putting on makeup and gluing those fake eyelashes on... Getting there an hour early to get a good seat and spending my second night in a row watching the same show. (Shane will be staying home with Kenna and Jadyn - he went last night and we have another one tomorrow... two nights will be enough for him! Plus it's much easier with out our little Jadyn!)

5 Snacks I enjoy

  1. Cookie Dough
  2. Brownie Mix with a little bit of milk
  3. Gummy Bears
  4. Swedish Fish
  5. Shaved Ice

5 Things I would do if I were suddenly a billionaire

  1. I would travel more. (Although Shane has already told me he wouldn't quit his job so I guess I would be going by myself??? Actually I'm sure lots of people would volunteer to go with me - on my tab of course!)
  2. Stay in the VERY best hotels
  3. Not spend time looking for "good deals" in the ads or on the Internet.
  4. Buy each and every line of gymboree clothes for my two littlest.
  5. Buy a beach house in Hawaii.

5 bad habits that I have...

  1. Eating too much of the above mentioned snacks.
  2. Staying up WAY too late.
  3. Deciding what to fix for dinner too late - then just eating out.
  4. Being late - (even setting my clock ahead 10 minutes to trick me doesn't work... I just figure I have... 10 more minutes.)
  5. Not being able to say NO when I know that I shouldn't take on one more thing!

5 places that I have lived....

HMMMMM.... I have lived in 5 different "places"... all within a 4 mile radius!

5 jobs that I have had...

  1. Selling concessions at the ball diamonds
  2. Lots of Babysitting
  3. Cleaning Old Farm Apartments each summer
  4. Working as a secretary and then an Interior Designer at Design West
  5. Being a momma and doing vinyl!

5 Things people don't know about me...

I hate this one - I figure that if people don't know it, maybe I don't want them to!

  1. I do the Sudoku in the paper EVERY morning
  2. I have dual citizenship - US and Australian
  3. I count things... It sounds a little bit like OCD but it's really not... It just makes me do things faster! (Shane sometimes talks to me in the voice like "The Count" on Sesame Street... it DOESN'T make me laugh!)
  4. I choreograph dances in my head while I'm driving... (and no... I don't do them when I get home, but maybe that is where the whole counting obsession thing started ....5678....)
  5. I once saw a shark when I was snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef. (It wasn't a great white or anything - but I didn't stick around to see what species it actually was - in fact I didn't even wait for Shane to see me leave... or tell him to start swimming... I just "fish-tailed" it back to the boat and left Shane there... All I could think was that our kids needed at least ONE parent! Don't forget I don't even like cats... or baby chicks... So imagine how a shark makes me feel - I'm sure that I must have set some kind of a record, cuz I swam the 100 yards back to the boat faster than I had ever swam before!)

Well that was fun - It only took me two days to think of all those silly things - so now I guess I get to pick 5 other lucky bloggers to do that.... HMMMM I tag... Christie, Alison, Michelle, Kimi and Anne. Good Luck!

Hey! Look for my "tagged" blog entry on Tuesday. Should be fun. By the way, I'm curious about the dual citizenship -- especially since you've lived within the same four miles your whole life. (Our snack favorites are VERY similar!)
