6 Random things about me.

This tag comes from Amanda.

I'm supposed to tell you 6 random things about me...

1. I worked at a beach in Malibu every summer for 10 yrs from the time I was 15. We had a neighbor who was the limo driver for the owner of the place and he hooked us up with the job. Probably the most fun I have ever had in a job. I loved that place.

2. I raised 9 sheep for auction through 4-H. I only wanted one of them. My parents made me do the rest. It was alright and definately taught me a lot though.

3. I won a national speech competition, also through 4-H, and the topic was friendship.

4. My husband was a good friend who I tried to set up with my cousin. Good thing that didn't work out... :-)

5. We had a "foster daughter" for about 3 yrs just after we got married. It was my cousins daughter (the same cousin I tried to set dh up with). We really miss her now that she is back with her mom, but are proud of her mom for working so hard to get her back. :-(

6. It took us well over a year and multiple medications to get pregnant with my son...and my daughter we weren't even trying for. The oddness of our bodies.

The rules:
Link to the person who tagged you.
Post the rules on your blog.
Write six random things about yourself.
Tag six people at the end of your post.
Let each person know they've been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
Let the tagger know when your entry is up.

Okay, I know I don't have six readers who have not been tagged already or who would do this but I will post a couple and see what happens. First up, Christy. Then Swizzle. And Tallmama. That is all.
I feel a little like when I first got email and didn't have enough people in my contact list to forward things too...sigh...

Tag...I'm it...

My first ever tag...thank Christy (Fusion 51)

Ten Years Ago
Hmm, 1998...I think I was working a job that I loved. Yes, this job that I hate now was that job. I was spending a lot of time at the beach and partying a lot. My, how 10 yrs can change you.

5 Things on Today's To Do List
1. Finish job application (working on it, dh is checking it as I type)
2. Do the dishes (done, twice...how do 4 people create so much mess?)
3. Laundry (last load in the washer...again, how do 4 people create so much mess?)
4. watch my soap (from Friday. Yes, I am addicted, have been since I was 9ish. GH for those that want to know my sick obsession-oh, not starting that until the job app. is done).
5. Water the lawn (ugg, I just fogot this had to be done. I hate chores).

I just realized my life is an entire chore.

Snacks I Enjoy
does everything count? Okay, seriously, my favs are frozen grapes (red ones), popcorn, redvines, fiberone bars, watermelon, and my all time fav...ice cream. Just about any kind will do.

Things I would do if I was a millionaire
Pay bills, pay off my house, buy a bigger house, furnish my house. Help family members. Tithe (is that how you spell it) some to church, some to military, some to breast cancer research, some to alzheimers research. Put money away for dh & I, and each of my kids as well as a former foster daughter.
Play...travel, shop, enjoy.
Oh, buy a more fuel efficient car. I understand that I might not have problems filling things up if I were a millionaire, however, I think I will always be a cheapskate so there you have it...

Okay, so I get to tag someone now and since I only have a few people that I know read me regular...yep, Amanda (My Life...in a blog ) that is you. (I fully expect this to be done first thing tomorrow morning...ha, ha, ha!)
