I have seen this on some other blogs and I've never done it...add that to being a little bored watching a movie, and here we are...

A: The rules of the game are posted at the beginning.
B: Each player answers the questions about themselves
C: At the end of the post, the player then tags 3 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

1. What was I doing 10 years ago... I was a junior in high school...getting ready for summer. I worked at Connell Grain Growers that summer weighing wheat trucks. I also went to church camp as a counselor and spent time at Priest Lake!! (sounds a lot like this summer minus the Grain Growers!)

2. What was on my to-do list for today? I skipped church, went to brunch with my family, took a 3-hour nap, played with Samson, made graduation cards, went to Burger Factory with Melissa for our Sunday night milkshake, slushie float, and fries, and am now watching "Bobby" with the fam.

3. What would I do if I suddenly became a billionaire? I'd like to believe I'd still work, I'd take my family to Guanajuato, buy my Grandma's place at Priest Lake so she wouldn't have to worry about it anymore, take my family to Switzerland, buy a car, donate money to our church & the charities I support, pay off my student loans, & buy a house.

4. 3 Bad habits... a Pepsi a day, not exercising or eating right like I should, always being busy

5. Places I have lived..... Tacoma, Spokane, and Connell (the only three places I've lived)

6. Places I have worked... Connell Grain Growers, All State Auto Electric, B&R Crop Care, Piper Jaffray, AT&T Wireless (for a week!), Whitworth School of Global Commerce & Management, Riverside High School, North Franklin School District (substitute teacher), Connell High School

7. 3 Things people don't know about me....

1) I am shy around people I don't know & I am uncomfortable making small talk.
2) People think I'm creative, but I don't think so - it's embarassing! I wish I were though!
3) When people complain about other people's quirks, habits, or personalities, I always wonder if I have any of those annoying characteristics...I hope not!!!

If you haven't done this, then I tag you! :)
