Quick, before I get Sidetrack'd

Mi, mi, mi, meme

Thoughtfully penned on June 18th, 2007 and generally concerning Meme, Sidetrack'd

I’ve been tagged by Sheryl at Peanut Butter and Jelly Boats for a five things meme. It’s a pretty long one, so here we go…

Five things I was doing 10 years ago:

1. graduating from high school (May)
2. working as a lifeguard at summer camps
3. deciding where to attend college (final decision was made in late June/early July)
4. attending the birth of my oldest nephew (June 14 – happy 10th birthday M!)
5. meeting Matt for the first time (August)

Five snacks I enjoy:

1. ice cream – particularly cookies & cream right now
2. microwave popcorn
3. salt & vinegar potato chips
4. chocolate (preferably m&m’s or chocolate chips)
5. Edy’s strawberry popsicles

Five songs that I know all the lyrics to:

1. Sweet By and By as sung by Bart Millard
2. most songs on Chris Tomlin’s Arriving or See the Morning CDs
3. Bringing Home a Baby Bumblebee
4. You Are My Sunshine
5. Yellow Ledbetter by Pearl Jam

Five things I would do if I were a millionaire:

1. donate a large portion to my church and other charitable organizations we support
2. pay off our car, mortgage, and the debts of a family member or two
3. put some aside for Little’s college fund
4. buy gifts for people whenever I had the urge
5. go on a nice vacation

Five bad habits:

1. “popping” my knuckles
2. biting my lips
3. snacking on not so good for me foods (see snack section above)
4. making a concious choice not to do what I should do
5. interrupting people in mid-sentence

Five things I like to do:

1. hike (although we haven’t done much since we moved from East Tennessee)
2. swim
3. take walks with Little

Five favorite toys (some are then, some are now):

1. dolls (especially my Cabbage Patch Kids)
2. play kitchen
3. big wheel
4. books (then and now)
5. iPod

Five people I tag (if they are interested in playing, of course):

1. Lu at Hyperactive Lu
2. Jill at Who Could Ask for Anything More
3. Diane at Chateau Smith
4. Lora Lynn at Vita Familiae
5. Nan at Life is Like a Lunchbox

Noise from the peanut gallery

  1. I had forgotten all about stirrup pants. What a wonderful fashion statement those made! I’ll agree that I will never wear them again. Have a great Monday!

  2. I know it isn’t the best pic…but I wanted to include Little in the pic and I didn’t have any really good ones with Little! Thanks for the tag! I’ll work on it sometime today!

  3. Oh! and I didn’t buy any water chesnuts….I think Andy likes them ok, but I don’t! I am looking forward to trying it. Everytime I make a rice, chicken bake, it comes out awful….Hoping this one will be better!

  4. Stirrup Pants! Did anyone’s butt look good in those?!?!
    I have watched that Yellow Ledbetter thing about a dozen times! It’s so funny!

    I didn’t know we graduated in the same year, cool!
    Thanks for playing!
