Then, a fun meme that was passed to me...

What were you doing 10 years ago?
I was in the middle of summer camp at Willow Run, where Mike and I were co-head counselors. We were strangers prior to the summer of '98. And, honestly, I didn't know what to think of him at that point. That changed a few months after the summer ended. Also, at this point in the summer, I was also preparing to start seminary and trying to find an apartment for Christy and Kelli and me in Raleigh.

Favorite Snacks
guacamole & chips
Hummus & pita chips or crackers
jumbo soft pretzels

To Do List
I am anal in this area. I have a running To Do list on my computer for each week - with itemized tasks for home & church, my meal plan for the week, grocery list, and errands needed to be ran. Then, I make shorter daily lists on paper for me to cross off for each day. Obnoxious? :)

Today my list consists of the following:
1. reply to gazillion email
2. coordinate meeting with person buying something I posted on craigslist.
3. Get insurance taken care of on new car.
4. Attempt to wipe out the laundry mountain.
5. work on Bible Study for my small group.
6. Clip coupons and make meal plan for this week (I'm behind on this since just getting back in town).

Jobs I Have Had
Salesperson in children's clothing boutique, administrative assistant, afterschool counselor at the Y, cashier at sporting store, library assistant, camp counselor, co-head counselor, afterschool program director at a Y, Counselor, Real Estate Paralegal, Children's Ministry director, mommy. Whew!

Places I Have Lived
Oak Ridge and Knoxville, TN; Boone, NC; and all over the Triangle area of NC

over extending myself, worry, caffeine (if you count that as a bad thing)

5 Random Things People May Not Know
1. I don't leave the house without at least mascara on.
2. I have been watching Shark Week like crazy this week. I hate it and love it at the same time.
3. I only wash my hair every 3-4 days. (hey, if it took you as long as it takes me to blow dry your hair, you'd do the same. besides, my hairdresser says it is a great thing to do for my hair)
4. I make up very silly songs and sing them to jackson ALL DAY LONG.
5. I just wasted 2 hours on facebook and blogging today.
