I was tagged by Lezlie in April. I didn't understand it and then forgot. So I am answering now. Here you go, Lezlie.

Ten Years Ago . . .

Ten years ago I had a 7 year old, 5 year old, 3 year old, and a newborn. We had just sold our house. We never anticipated on selling our house in just two weeks so we were moving in with Mom and Dad. We started building our house next door.

The Places I Have Lived . . .

I lived in Layton, Ut. until I was 14, then Okinawa, Japan, for 3 and 1/2 years, then Logan, Ut for 10 years now Mendon Ut.

Five Things on My To do List . . .

1. Finish my quilt blocks. I have only had since November to do them. I have to have 17 done. I started yesterday. I have 24 hours left!

2. Work in my yard. I actually love working in the yard but I aways put things I want to do off while I do things I have to do.

3. Finish Gemma's and Talan's quilts and start Olivia's quilt. Ok I am a procrastinator. Can you tell?

4. Wreaths! I have just a few more to do and then done for the summer! Yeah!

5. Clean my house. It is in bad need. The deep cleaning kind!

That is my to do list for just for today. That is as far ahead as I can think.

Things I enjoy . . .

I enjoy quilting, gardening, talking to my kids, spending time with Todd, scrapbooking, reading, helping others and artwork.

Three Bad Habits . . .

1. Overeating. I really have no self control at all!

2. Procrastinating. I put everything off. I don't mean to, but it seems I always something more pressing to do first.

3. Getting involved in to many things. I have my plate totally full! I need to say no! I just don't know what to say no to.

Five things you might not know about me

1. I spent time in jail. Ok I wasn't booked but I was there a while anyway. Some of us skipped school and went off base. Everyone in my car got drunk. I was the designated driver. We picked Kim up at school. She was totally innocent. She was mad for quite some time. One of my friends mooned an officer's wife at the post office when we were taking him home. So we were all taken down to the jail and put in seperate rooms. We were all required to go to classes at Social Actions for underage drinking. Kim and I only went once and then they told us we didn't have to go back.

2. I got to watch an SR-71 refuel in the air over Korea. That was one of the coolest things I have done. I will remember it forever.

3. I don't like to craft. I used to, but now it seems like I never have time and it just isn't fun.

4. I want to learn to dance. In high school I loved to dance then one time someone made fun of me and I never wanted to dance again. Now watching my kids social dance I love it. I want to learn. It is another one of those someday things.

5. I am totally unorganized but everything about me screems the need to be organized. These two things about me fight constantly. I can't stand unorganization but I never quite get orgainzed.

Jobs I have had . . .

Baby sitter, Gardener, Switchboard Operator, Cook at a restaurant, Jelly Bean and Popcorn lady all before I graduated from high school. Telephone solicitor for 1 day, Exercise equipment tester for 1/2 day. (I thought they were going to kill me) Cook and delivery for a sandwich shop, bookkeeper. Then I had kids. Since then I have been paid to babysit, computer program, retouch photos, refinance houses, sew, make wreaths, quilt, hand paint needle work canvas, reupholstery, making drapes etc., bookkeeper, t-shirt printer . . . I have done more at home jobs then this. I am the queen of at home jobs. I just can't remember what they all are. Can any one else help me? I have also had one other real job since I had kids. I was a night staff for a delinquent girls home.

So now I tag Amy and Sherrie (hurry and make a blog)
