so i've seen this little survey-type thing floating around on some of the blogs i stalk. no one has "tagged" me to do it yet but brandon is at basketball and i'm groggily recovering from a minor migraine and have nothing better to do...it looked like fun :)
10 years ago:
i was 13 and in the 8th grade at vineyard junior high school. this was my rebellious phase when i finally came out of the shy little shell i was born with. i had a lot of friends (the "popular" kids for once...how exciting...*rolls eyes*) and i talked a lot...talked back a lot also. two different teachers threatened me that year that if my mom weren't on the school board, they'd kick me out of their class. to which i said "BRING IT."
5 things on my to-do list today:
1. research "the issues" so i can make an educated decision when it comes time to fill in my mail-order ballot before CA's Super Tuesday election (didn't do it...stupid migraine)
2. fax our pay stubs to our new apartment manager (check!)
3. just about a million things at work, some of which i did and some of which have to wait till tomorrow
4. watch last night's jon & kate + 8 (check!)
5. eat healthy (almost check...i just can't resist stupid cookies. i ate like 4 today.)
I enjoy:
lots of things! in no particular order: edamame, fiber one granola bars, laughing on the couch with my husband, project runway, planning for europe, mapquesting how close my new apartment will be to all the important places in my life like trader joe's and h&m, stalking other people through their blogs, facebook messages, crossing things off my to do list, text messages, making cards, sleeping in, huddling next to the heater, driving fast, checking email, wearing cowboy boots, cookies. the end.
What would I do if I were suddenly made a billionaire:
definitely extend the european vacation. and probably get a nicer apartment. and also take all the craft classes at the paper source. and also quit my job and bake all day long.
3 of my bad habits:
1. getting cranky at my husband
2. eating too much dessert
3. over-multi-tasking and forgetting to enjoy the journey
5 places I have lived:
1. new york city
2. rancho cucamonga
3. p-town UT
4. los angeles
5. pasadena CA (as of 3/15!! it's official!)
5 jobs that I have had:
1. movie theater concessionist/box office ticket seller/trash sweeper
2. day care teacher, quite possibly the best job ever (crafts, snacks and kickball all day with the most hilarious 5 to 12 year old children)
3. cashier at the byu bookstore
4. comms 211 TA
5. my only REAL real grown up job: PR specialist and now associate account executive at GolinHarris, working in communications and marketing for Toyota and Yamaha
5 things people don't know about me:
1. i had surgery on my eyes when i was 8 months old to correct a vision impairment. that got fixed but they accidentally messed something else up and now i don't have depth perception.
2. i refuse to eat anything that has fallen on my kitchen floor
3. i HATE wasting things. even if it means choking down stale cereal just so i won't have to throw it out.
4. my wedding song sounds like a really great love song but it's actually some born-again christian pop/rock song that has nothing to do with romance
5. hmm...this is hard...i could eat cereal for every meal? lame. maybe i'll come up with something better and let you know :)...hey, i AM recovering from a migraine.
i tag angela and anyone else who wants to fill in their own answers and re-post ;)

SO..nobody ever tags me. And I am thinking that one day I will just leave all of MY responses on your comments page. That would be funny. And you might enjoy that.
And....I am loving the post-every-day thing. But you'd better keep it up, because if this slows down...you are going to have one UNhappy blog-reader.
And...last thing. The depth perception still makes me laugh. And it gets me excited to go home tonight to tell Brandon funny stories about all of the times your mean friends (me) would throw things at you, or make you try to catch things...or just swing our hands close to your face to freak you out and see your arms start flailing. Hahaha. Lynds. You're the best.
Trader joe's and h&m are my favorites! I think cookies are also sent to this earth to distroy my resolve to eat healthy (well, brownies too!) I also think working at a daycare was fun, except I would want to do be with the older children. I had 10, one year olds!
Ok ok, so I just cracked up at your "10 years ago" answer. Were you seriously one of the popular girls? I was NEVER popular. haha. I love that you talked back and, my favorite, said "bring it". Total bad a**.
Why wasn't "writing your fav friend at work" one of the things on your to-do list? jk
