Tag from Tiffany

I hope I'm doing this right, Tiffany. This is the first time I've been tagged!

10 Years Ago: I was at Ricks College~love that place! Elem ed major, writing Hyrum on the mission, dating some, hanging out with Tiara, Melissa A, Amanda, and Lora. Working as an aide to a professor, worked in Montana that summer.

Things on my to-do list today: I love Sunday to do lists! Get up, get everyone ready to church, go visiting teaching, read, take a nap, do some blogging, have dinner, call family, Hyrum and I have a Sunday night meeting where we plan the week, talk about the kids, how we're doing, etc.

What I would do if I were suddenly made a billionaire: We've actually talked about this before~it's kind of fun to think about, but I'm not even going to ask him how much of it would go to taxes. Pay the biggest tithing check of my life! I've always thought it would be fun to give all of our siblings a million, but say that half would have to go to bless the lives of others~it would be fun to see what everyone would use theirs on. Buy the land around my grandparents' cabin on Flathead Lake and build a big family cabin, go to Italy, Portugal and Jerusalem with Hyrum, set up scholarship funds, give awesome pizza tips, show my kids how kids in other parts of the world lived, I would get my varicose veins lasered (see below), let Hyrum have fun investing....I don't know what else right now. That's so much money, it would scare me.

3 of my bad habits:

1. when people give me compliments, I always have to tell them where I got something and the great deal I got on it. Just say thank you, Melissa..they really don't want to know all the details

2. Not being patient enough

3. Not putting my makeup, hair stuff away in the morning. Our vanity is always the worst in the house~

3 places I have lived:1. Missoula, Montana 2. Logan, Utah 2. Nampa, Idaho

5 jobs that I have had:

1. Mom

2. I dressed up with my best friend Julie as E.T. on a hot summer afternoon at the grand opening of Big O Tires in Missoula

3. receptionist at Montana Flasher & Barricade

4. Hogi Yogi in Logan

5. 5th grade teacher

5 Things people don't know about me:

1. I hate being tickled

2. I've walked on top of the Salt Lake temple

3. I have over 400 100%positive ratings on Ebay (heaven help the person that ever gives me a negative :)

4. One of my biggest pet peeves is when people say "you look tired." Is that just a nice way of saying I look terrible?!?

5. I have awful varicose veins and hope capris are always in style

I tag: Maryn, Bonnie, and my sister Kelsey

What? How do I do this? I have never heard of being tagged.

I have the same problem about telling where I got things and the great deal it was. And after, I always think the same thing...they don't care, just say thank you! I guess it is part of the thrill of bargain hunting though to report your successes! You are too cute.

That was fun to read and learn more about you! Rod and I have those same Sunday meetings. Is it a Smith thing or what? :)

I have seriously ugly 70-year old lady vericose AND spider veins. In fact, my mom asked me the other day how I got a huge bruise on the inside of my leg...not a bruise MILLIONS of spider veins. After catching a serious glimpse of the backs of my legs in the mirror after the gym I told Phil they are getting zapped as soon as possible.
