10 years ago I was:
At BYU majoring in Home Economics Education and getting ready to send my boyfriend, Jamie, off on a mission. I waited, unfaithfully, for Jamie, then married Hyrum instead. Hyrum is the reason I say I waited "unfaithfully" for Jamie.
5 things on my to do list today:
1. Finish tiling the bathroom shower so we don't have to use the neighbor's shower again. (Uh, in this picture I'm guarding my back end because Hyrum always takes pictures of it. This is my first ever attempt at tiling.)
2. Set up a doctor's appointment to get my ankle checked. But first I have to establish a doctor.3. Mow the lawn.
4. Make a cinco de mayo outfit for Tilly and Sophie for their joint birthday party.
5. Make curtains for my living room/bedroom (they are one and the same right now).
3 of my bad habits:
1. Saying I'm disgusted with my lack of discipline when it comes to losing weight, then shortly thereafter eating ice cream or cookies.
2. Writing nasty emails to people after they've ticked me off by being a jerk to my husband or me.
3. Not stopping a project (like yard work) to make meals for my family, so they end up fending for themselves by snacking on whatever they can find (usually cereal or junk food). And I wonder why we have a problem shedding weight???
5 places I've lived:
Rogue Valley (Ashland & Sam's Valley) Oregon
Auburn, CA (Lake of the Pines)
Rexburg, ID
Utah Mormonville (Provo and Heber City)
Coquille Valley (Coquille & Myrtle Point) Oregon
This was the house we remodeled in Coquille.
This is our current house in Myrtle Point (though it's going through an overhaul so we live in the apartment out back)
5 jobs I have had:
1. Making pizzas at Figaro's Pizza during high school (ah, the pizza dough I took home was great). 2. Working at Apple Cellar during my summers off from college (all the free bread and pastries I wanted after hours...yum!).
3. Housekeeper for several wealthy and/or old women during college at BYU (one with a condition that caused her to have explosive diarrhea, and I was the lucky one who got to clean it after it dried on the toilet).
4. Home Ec teacher in West Valley (junior high) and Park City (high school) in Utah. I left right before the Olympics, and Mrs. Fields' (as in the famous cookies) daughter was in my interior design class. Beautiful, intelligent girl!
5. Substitute teacher in Southern Oregon. New subjects every day, I didn't have to work that day if I didn't feel like it, no grading, no conferences, no stress...it didn't get any better than that.
Things most people don't know about me:
I love my irobot vacuum because it does the cleaning for me. I LOVE yard work. I love painting (walls and houses, not canvas or paper). I took a fertility pill in order to get pregnant with my first baby, but the other 2 came as happy surprises. I got a chicken pock on one spot of the lower lashes of my right eye and can't grow eyelashes there now...it's the bane of my makeup routine. I am not a shoes or clothes person (meaning I don't hoard those items). I adore organizing and the items involved in that (baskets, Rubbermaid's, decorative boxes, etc). I didn't learn how to play the piano because I didn't want to get stuck with that as a church calling for the rest of my life (I would die if I had to play in front of people and have them hear my mistakes).
Now the 4's...
Four places I go to over and over:
WalMart, WalMart, WalMart and WalMart (That's probably the only place I go when I leave my house. Okay, maybe not, but it feels like it. I'm kind of a hermit. I never leave my house lately without Hyrum because it's a major production, and my carseats are always in his truck.) Okay, here it really is: Super WalMart, the pediatrician, church, Ashland
Four people who email me regularly:
LaRae Smith (Hyrum's grandma who's obsessed with forwarding forwarded emails)
Cage Cluff (she always responds to my emails)
US bank, with bill pay updates
I don't have a fourth "regular." My friends and family call instead of write, and Hyrum's family texts me instead of using email. Most people who write me emails write irregularly.
Four places I like to eat:
Lucky Star (chinese where one $8.95 order feeds the entire family)
Captain's Choice (best clam chowder bread bowls)
Olive Garden (but Hyrum doesn't like it)
Senor Sam's (great, speedy, fresh mex with portions big enough to share)
Four places I would like to be right now:
At Daisha's in England
At Tasha's in San Diego
On a cruise
Living in my house with the remodel completed
Four people who will respond (I'm tagging you!):
Kylene, Tome, Annie, Nancy (and anyone else who would like to join in the fun)
Four TV shows:
American Idol
So You Think You Can Dance
You Are What You Eat (on BBC America...the nutrition Nazi is like a female Simon Cowell with her blunt, yet truthful, rudeness)
Any HGTV show

It's been like 10 minutes since I logged onto your blog, and the tiling picture is still making me laugh!
