I've Made a BOLD move

A friend of mine sent me this via email, so I decided to take it to the blog!

The things I've done are BOLD.  Some of the things I haven't done I'd really like to do and should get on it.  Others, not so much.  But, it's fun to see the list.  It's funny to think there are really people out there (in the civilized world) who haven't owned a cell phone.  

I tag whomever wants to give this one a try... Just copy and paste and BOLD or unBOLD as needed.  You can delete my commentary!

Picture Tag

Ashley tagged me.

This is MOLLY eating a sandwich during Fall Break 2006 at Lost Pines Resort in Austin, Texas.  We had a really great time at this fun resort!

So, here's the deal.

Go to your photos and open the 4th folder.

Post the 4th picture in your folder.

I tag my brother Rich, Shahna, Nancy, and Claudia (sorry Claudia - I know your blog is your own - it's just a picture, humor me).

I'm It

Ashley tagged me. Who knew this was a giant game of tag?

Well I'm supposed to answer some questions. So, here we go.

1. Where I was ten years ago.

Not too interesting. I was here, in Plano. I had four kids and Will was just a tiny baby. Lucy was about to turn four and was singing the entire score of The Sound of Music.  Drew was eleven and I was homeschooling.  Ashley was in tenth grade and learning to drive!

2. Five things on my to-do list today.

Haha - five out of five million.

1. Pack the kids rooms.

2. Choose appliances.

3. Figure out an April Fools joke to play on my family.

4. Choose light fixtures for the house.

5. Call a handy man to do repairs to current house.

3.  Things I would do if I became a billionaire.

Make Jon quit working.  (This wouldn't be hard)  Send our parents on a trip around the world ending at their new home in some really cool place.  Buy homes in all the greatest places - Hawaii, Newport Beach, CA (just for old times sake), Tuscany, South of France, New York City, some mountain retreat with a river for fly fishing, a grass strip for landing airplanes, and a huge porch with a hammock and a swing.  That's a good start.  I'd travel to all the places I haven't been and take someone new with me (besides Jon, he's going, too) on each trip.  I'd hire someone to do my laundry.  Get a massage twice a week.  Hire one of those Hollywood personal trainers to follow me everywhere.  Hire a chef, but I'd want to cook right along side him/her.  I could eat all the food, cause the trainer would help me work it off!  The chef would do all the clean up.  Throw a really huge party, in a really cool place for all my friends and family and have some amazing party planner do it up right.  Play out that shopping scene from Pretty Woman - every other day.  Hire a tutor to teach me other languages.  Take painting classes from the best.  Have tickets for opening night of every Broadway musical ever performed (well, maybe not the trashy ones).  It's a billion dollars - I could go on forever, but I won't bore you further.

4.  Three of my bad habits

1. Staying up too late (and then getting up really early).

2. Procrastination

3. Clenching my teeth

5.  Five places I've lived

1. Kenosha, Wisconsin

2. Worthington, Ohio

3. Honolulu, Hawaii

4. Idaho Falls, Idaho

5. Groton, Connecticut

6. Five jobs I've had

1. Ice cream scooper/cake decorator at Baskin Robbins

2. Aerobics instructor

3. Curriculum Rep

4. Front Desk Manager, Fitness Center

5. Business owner, Food service

7. Something most people don't know about me

I'm adopted.

OK, that's a joke, but I spent my childhood believing I was.  

That's it.  Wasn't that fun?  I tag Aubrianne,  and Kristi Clinger.
