Tara tagged me with some questions that require at least some semblence of a memory. ha ha ha ha ha ahhhhhh ha ha ha. I can not remember what I was doing last Thursday and she wants to know:
What was I doing ten years ago?
1. Missing Chandi who had just become a bride.
2. Taking a great deal of pleasure in my first little grandson who was developing an extremely large vocabulary and making us all giggle a lot.
3. Working at North View Dental.
4. Loving Wayne and our children.
What was I doing five years ago?
1. Enjoying my second little grandson, who was full of vinegar and sweetness. A delightful combination.
2. Living too far away from my two cute grandbabies...
3. Gaining weight.
4. Loving Wayne and our children.
What was I doing five months ago.
1. If Chandi was on a cruise... then I was watching her three little boys.
2. Snuggling under a down comforter every chance I got cuz it was freaking COLD in Sanpete County!!!
3. Praying for summer to get here the first of April...shows you what kind of influence I've got.
4. Loving Wayne and our children.
Five things on my "To Do" list.
1. Call my high maintenance clients.
2. Write something on my blog. (well, something besides this)
3. Water and fertilize my flower gardens.
4. Throw something thru the t.v. screen (Wayne's watching "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly") Urp, Gag. Nasty movie!
5. Lose the weight I was gaining five years ago.
Five snacks I enjoy.
1. Hot Tapiocca pudding
2. Really high quality chocolates
3. 4. and 5. Grapes, tree ripened nectarines, cold crisp Gala apples (with p-nut butter), smoothies, cold cereal (dry... no milk) toasted English muffins (they make the best ones on the planet at a bakery in Ephraim). I think I overshot the mark, here.
Five things I'd do if I became a billionaire.
1. Write out a really hefty tithing check.
2. Set up scholarships at B.Y.U. Law School in my father's name, and missionary accounts for all my grandchildren and random needy families.
3. Set up trust accounts for my posterity.
4. Buy anything I wanted for anyone I felt like buying something for... yes, that means total strangers. Wouldn't that just be fun?? I'd have one whole bank account to use like a magic wand to grant wishes. I'd pay for dental work for a couple of my boys... Make a years house payments for lots of people to give them a chance to save and/or catch up. It also means me... flowers would be blooming everywhere at our little Kingdom at the Hollow. Wayne would have every piece of new farm equipment and cash to pay for a little help. sigh.....
5. Die with a smile on my face cuz I'd have had such a good time with my windfall. Heck... lots of people would have had a good time with my windfall.
Five bad habits
1. Eating in the car... from the minute I snap my seat belt to the time I take it off.
2. Putting off paying my bills just cuz I... well... I don't have a reason. It's just a bad habit. I open the bill, write out a check, put it in the envelope, place a stamp on it and carry it around in my purse until it's past due. Is that dumb or what?
3. Continue to drive without a license. I lost it... and I think it may be expired anyway. That's even dumber than item number two.
4. I "forget" to put my bra on. And when I do remember... I take it off in odd places.
5. I interrupt people when they're talking. Chandi loves me...but this particular habit of mine drives her nuts! And I give unsolicited advice... most of it probably bad.
Five places I have lived.
1. Southern and Northern California
2. Hawaii
3. Northern, Southern and Central Utah
4. The Pre-existance - not sure of the exact location
5. Paradise - The Hollow ... well, okay, it's not total paradise... but, it's close enough until I leave this mortal existance.
Five jobs I have had.
1. Hair stylist
2. Casualty Claims Adjuster - Allstate Insurance
3. Private Secretary
4. HIV/AIDS Director for American Red Cross
5. Realtor
and my FAVORITE:
WIFE, MOMMIE and GIGI
Five people I will tag.
Are you KIDDING me? I want to hang on to the few friends I've managed to make.

HURRAH, Caryn blogged-yes this counts. Anything with words counts cause they communicate with others and make their trip to checking out your blog for new stuff worthwhile.
Go get your license renewed Caryn before you're caught and put away for a while... You are having an interesting life. Guess we all are and it's so fun to share our lives with others. Forget the money to give away, time is more valuable and appreciated. Thanks for blogging, my friend. Lin
You know you give GREAT advice! You have only given me one piece of bad advice and that was to NOT choose John. We all know now that you are so happy I didn't listen to you. I would have been married to a fat dentist by now (that's what John says anyhow).
chandi, nice comment!!!!! It love these tag things! I love that you put the pre-existence as a place you have lived!
I have to agree with Chandi you do give great advice! Your so wise. I love reading your blog, even better, talking to you in person, but for now the blogging will have to do. =) So there really isn't a weekend I am free this Summer it seems like! And I haven't heard anything about a girl weekend? I'll have to ask Trina. But if it's in July I don't think I'll be able to come which really makes me sad. Maybe August I could do, but I know that Jade is leaving the 1st
Dang! Why is it so hard to get together? I'm horrible at keeping in touch with my friends too. There's just to much to do with 2 BIG families, jobs, home life and of course, Nala. Sigh.... Oh well. I hope we can get together soon though! Love ya! Sum
Hey, I will ask Chandi to e-mail the song to you!
That was a very interesting blog...fun to read!
