I was tagged...

I have officially been "tagged" three times in the past couple of weeks. I am trying to make good on those tags, so there my be a few of these types of posts during the next couple of days. My cousin, Karen, tagged me with this one.

What I was doing 10 years ago:
  • Trying to get pregnant
  • For the first time in my life I was listening to country music and therefore crying a lot
  • Dreading that I was about to turn 30--ha ha...
  • Coming off a busy tax season and working too much
  • The rest is kind of a blur...

Five things on my to do list for today:

  • Work on preparing my lesson for Ladies Bible Class during Lindy's nap. I teach it on Tuesday.
  • Vaccum
  • Divide chicken I purchased for $1.99 a pound into smaller packets. YUCK!
  • Do laundry
  • Make grocery list and menu for next week

Things I would do if I were a billionaire:

  • Give lots of money to my church for local work, as well as support of missionaries.
  • Invest. Don't want to be one of those people who carelessly blows through money.
  • Take care of various financial obligations, commitments, and worries for family members including college tuition for nephews, nieces, and cousins and paying off my dad's business.
  • Treat family and friends to nice things such as vacations, fun gifts, etc.,.
  • Hire an architect to design a dream home, hire a reputable builder to build it, hire an interior designer to work with me to help decorate it, and hire a housekeeper to help clean it. I really don't want anything outlandishly huge. I just would like something that is functional, practical, and spacious enough for family and friends to visit and not be on top of each other. I'd probably hire a lawn service/gardener, too, so Don wouldn't have to spend free time working in the yard.
  • Travel near and travel far.
  • Help people who feel called to adopt but can't afford it.
  • Donate money to orphanages in China.
  • Practice random acts of kindness on a large scale.

Three of my bad habits:

  • Procrastinating
  • Impulse buying
  • Not putting my shoes away right after I am done wearing them

Five places I have lived:


  • San Diego, CA
  • Honolulu, HI
  • Dale City, VA
  • Warrington, PA
  • Brunswick, ME

Five jobs I have had:

  • Sales Assistant
  • Library Assistant
  • Procedure Writer
  • Customer Service Representative
  • Corporate Trainer
Five People I Want to Know More About: I want to know more about all of you but understand time can prohibit participating. If you are reading this, consider yourself tagged.

Lisa,

I love getting to know people through their responses after being tagged. It's fun and often very interesting!

I think lots of us adoptive moms would do many of the same things with a billion dollars! Maybe we need to pool resources and creative energy and do it on a smaller scale.

Thinking of you Lisa and hoping you are doing well. :)

You know I love this - didn't know about Hawaii - oh that we would have been friends then!!

I love all the things you would do with the money and must agree my list would probably look remarkably similar.

Your heart is so pure, so good - that is what I love about you!

Have a blessed week!
Love,
Heather
