I’ve been tagged by Happy Chyck. I’m new at this, so if I’m bad at the whole meme thing, please forgive me.

Here are the rules:

1. The rules of the game get posted at the beginning.
2. Each player answers the questions about themselves.
3. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5-6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog.
4. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.

Got it? Let’s rock this thing.

1) What was I doing 10 years ago? Let’s see, that would have been 1998. I was counting down the days to the last day of 8th grade. I had a crush on this one boy (I called him “Crush Boy” much to my current horror), and I remember sitting in my room with my best friend planning how I was going to kiss him on the last day of school. Because, you know, that’s romantic stuff.  Sadly, nerves interfered, and Operation Awkward Kiss failed.

2) What are 5 things on my to-do list for today (not in any particular order):
1. Morning softball game. My husband coaches 4 year old girls softball at our church, so I guess that makes me “Team Mom” even though I’m not a mom yet.

 

2. My parents are having a neighborhood yard sale. Now normally I think those things are tacky, but this neighborhood boasts million dollar homes. I can’t wait to sift through rich peoples’ crap.

3. My grandmother will be having surgery on Monday on her left coronary artery, because it’s 99% blocked (Smoking and Southern cooking are apparently bad for you. Go figure). Anyway, I have volunteered my husband to lay down some mulch in her backyard.

4. I desperately need to give my dogs baths.

5. I would really like to catch up on some reading. I have 6 new YAL books on my bookshelf that I haven’t read yet.

3) Snacks I enjoy: Moose Tracks ice cream, Smart Balance popcorn (that stuff freakin rocks! You’ll think you’re sitting in a movie theater), dark chocolate

4) Things I would do if I were a billionaire: Try not to make it on E! True Hollywood Story for squandering it all, travel all over the world, see every Broadway show, open an animal rescue, build a library, brag about my money to people I don’t like

5) Three of my bad habits:
1. I am a huge night owl.
2. I get really dry skin in the winter. I will scratch my legs until they are a bloody mess without realizing it. Spring sucks for me because of my ugly scabby legs.
3. I am a sucker for reality television. The dumber it is, the more I’m drawn to it. I actually watched the premiere of Farmer Wants a Wife this week. It was a stupid as it sounds.

6) 5 places I have lived:

1. Suburban Atlanta, Georgia
2. Greenville, South Carolina
3. Suburban Atlanta, Georgia (again)
4. Atlanta (the actual city), Georgia
5. The middle of nowhere, Georgia (the PC term for it is “up and coming”)

7) 5 jobs I have had:

1. Publix grocery bagger
2. Videographer for my college football team (I was an actual member of the football team — scholarship and all!)
3. Administrative assistant at a law firm
4. Administrative assistant at a local university

5. Substitute Teacher

8) 6 peeps I wanna know more about:

I’m a week in this whole blogging business, so I don’t know names yet. But if you read this, consider yourself tagged. I’d like to know about anyone reading my blog.
