I secretly love being tagged via blog. This one is courtesy of Shannon! Let the fun begin...

Five Things I Was Doing 10 Years Ago:
1. I was a “couch mate” at King Henry.
2. I was an accomplice in a hair “salon” farce gone terribly wrong (or right – depending on who you ask). Butchy!
3. I was wrapping my roommates personal belongings to give as birthday gifts to her.
4. I was contributing to the AMAZING “Wall of Fame”. Such photos included: Ricky Schroeder and Richard Simmons. Does anyone have a picture of this? I might – I’ll have to look through my boxes.
5. I was dating a boy that was entirely wrong for me. Thank goodness it all worked out the way it did. And, to add to the irony, as I was dating said boy, my husband was a high school junior – haha.


Five Songs I Know The Lyrics To:
1. “Parents Just Don’t Understand” – DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince
2. “Forever In Blue Jeans” – Neil Diamond
3. Almost every Dixie Chicks song (I’ve been through a few fazes)
4. Every song on Alanis Morrissete’s “Jagged Little Pill” Album (more fazes – namely Atlanta w/ Susanna)
5. Anything from Backyardigans, Dora or Little Mermaid (Tatum’s favorites right now)


Five Things I Would Buy If I Was A Millionaire:
1. A new house
2. A new, bigger ride
3. Lipo, lift and a trainer
4. Family vacations (everyone)
5. Someone to clean my house for me


Five Things I Would Never Wear Again:
1. Units. Have to copy Shannon’s item because I TOTALLY had the things.
2. Along the same line as above, anything Hyper-Color (remember that?)
3. My senior prom dress – I wish! I was skinny and cute and thought I was chubby.
4. My wedding dress – same reason as above.
5. Any kind of shirt tied around my waist. Karen’s threatened me with a picture from Jr. High w/ a denim button up shirt tied at the waist. You know you’re jealous, people.


Five Things I Would Like to Do:
1. Be debt free and financially secure. All without my husband working long hours (poor Beau right now).
2. Take my girls and my husband to visit all of my family living far away (mostly my grandma right now).
3. Have money to remodel our house (we need work in every room – I’m anxious to do it all at once!)
4. Buy a tantrum-stopping pill. It’s at the embarrassing stage sometimes now. I almost cried in Robert’s yesterday and it was only 11am.
5. Never have to go grocery shopping w/ both of my kids ever again. I hate it. (see above)


Five Favorite Toys:
1. Glue Gun. Every girl needs one.
2. My new picture frame (I need to get it set up and take a pic – it’s absolutely amazing and now I can have more pictures up than I’d been able to pre-birthday).
3. My Dyson vacuum. I still love it as much as when we got it.
4. My Ikea cheese grater. I’ve had it for ages and give it to everyone for wedding gifts.
5. Pull-Ups. For those horrible, poor 2 year old that’s potty-trained-but-has-explosive-diarrhea days (yesterday) that no mom could survive without. (sorry to share, but it’s been a long week) I need to go buy new 3T panties – I threw a few away yesterday.

TAG! You’re all it!!!
