Tag...

November 7, 2008

I've been tagged.

10 years ago:
1. I was at Chapel Field High School, probably in our new batting cage doing "winter practices."
2. I was learning to square dance to raise money for our trip to Florida.
3. I was the "new kid" and had just met Koop, the Vogels, and Big Red.
4. I still fit into my favorite pair of green corduroys.... don't hate.
5. I worked at Dunkin' Donuts and drove a big blue minivan... you know you're jealous.

Five things on my To-Do List today:
1. Pack for the retreat I am going on in less than 4 hours... yet I continue to play online?
2. Get the oil changed in the Jeep.
3. Watch last night's Gray's Anatomy and Wednesday's The Ultimate Fighter.
4. Start planning for Thanksgiving and hittin' up the grocery store.
5. Clean out my email inbox.

Five things that I would do if I were a millionaire:
1. Buy Lee the car of his dreams.
2. Pay for our house.
3. Buy me another Jeep Wrangler :-)
4. Plan a trip to see the west coast (Vegas, Cali, Seattle, COLORADO!)... probably in the winter so I can ski in Vail.
5. Take a vacation to Africa for a safari and then onto Europe on a culinary tour.

5 Places I have lived:
1. Wappinger, New York... home of the Indians, parades, and the mosque where they let the cows from the farm next door block cars in the driveway.
2. Buies Creek, North Carolina.... come on now, NOTHING beats livin in the "Crack."
3. Pineville, North Carolina... from my "rich" days workin' as a bartender.... makin' the big bucks and living close to Ballantyne where the rich folks live...
4. Colorado Springs, Colorado... no really.... I'm lying.
5. Charlotte, North Carolina... wouldn't be so interesting except for that it's where we bought our first house, got our dogs, and started out life together!

5 Jobs I've had:
1. Donut seller extradonaire:... that's right, you may have mocked me, but you loved the free donut perks that went along with workin' at Dunkin' Donuts!
2. Resident Advisor/ RD - what's that you say? I was crazy to spend 3 years workin' with a hall/dorm full of freshman girls and the drama/laughs/fights that went along with that... I concur... kind of!
3. Bartend with a college degree... that's right, my first "real" job out of college was at a bar! Hoo-rah, that's what I studied all of those nights for.
4. Crisis Counselor... if you thought I was crazy to be an RA/RD, then you thought I was out of my mind to work with the crazy kids who punched, bit, kicked, and spit on me for 4 years... by the end I kind of thought I was crazy too!
5. Student Activities... GAA - (G- to the double A)- assistant to the grad assistant... LOL... by far the MOST fun job I've ever had... doing concerts, games, Spring Fling.. and who could forget... Fear Factor? =)
6. PS- this is only supposed to be 5 jobs, but I must include... workin' at the hOasis for 4 years! I did feel a sense of pride this past weekend when Jon reminisced of the days of old and the awesome philly's and chicken wraps that I used to make... me, Bramley, Josh, and Billy Dunn... good times!

Ha! Now.... TAG... you're it!
