Meme

Shannon tagged me for a meme. This looks like fun!

Rules of the meme:
1. Post these rules of the game first.
2. Each player answers the questions about themselves.
3. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people and posts their names. Then the tagger goes to the blogs of those who have been tagged & leaves a comment letting new players know they’ve been tagged. The tagger asks them to find the meme and instructions back at his/her blog.

What I was doing 10 years ago: Hmmm... April of 1998 I was a sophomore in college at Texas A&M. I was working on my degree in mechanical engineering and Eric and I had been dating for a few months. Both of us by this time were beginning to think that marriage could be a possibility, but Eric was definitely not planning on becoming Catholic. A couple of months after this he would go through a major conversion and chose to become Catholic and all the while I had no idea that he was even considering it! Wow, I can't believe that all happened ten years ago now.

Five things on my To Do List today:
1. Go to mass with Jonathan at his school.
2. Laundry, laundry, laundry!
3. Pick up a few things at the grocery store.
4. Read my Magnificat. Like Shannon I'm trying to start a new habit of praying with the Magnificat morning and night.
5. Purge Jonathan's closet of all those clothes that don't fit anymore.

Things I would do if I were a billionaire:
1. Finance my husband beginning his own engineering company.
2. Buy at least a couple hundred acres out in the country.
3. Give money to charitable organization supporting women facing unexpected pregnancies and people who can't afford proper medical care.

Three of my bad habits:
1. I'm good at creating clutter but not so good at clearing it away.
2. I'm very easily distracted these days. I have barely started projects all over the house.
3. I only shave my legs when it's absolutely necessary!

Five places I have lived:
Omaha, Nebraska
Midland, Texas
College Station, Texas
Houston, Texas area

Five jobs I’ve had:
Babysitter
Calligrapher (I made signs for a grocery store)
Dish washer at a bakery
Snow cone stand attendant (my dad owned the stand)
Assisted an artist who made terra cotta clay jewelry and sculptures


I tag Christine, Jill, Emily (though with the baby on the way I doubt she'll get a chance to do it), newhousenewjob and Lael.
