Top Five Tag

Okay, not really "top fives" but Katrina tagged me and well, I'm it.

Five things on my "To Do" list this week:
1. Purchase and put together baby crib. (Third trimester begins today!)
2. Watch all my "stories" on Thursday night. Best night for television. Can't wait! Do you all think that Jim will really propose to Pam? If she says no I will kill myself.
3. Grocery shopping. I'm kind of a weirdo. I like buying food. I really enjoy shopping in all its forms.
4. Bring home more crap from my classroom. I've been working on organizing my lesson plans and other "teaching" stuff, and bringing things home day by day. It will save my sanity at the very end of the school year. (13 days and counting...)
5. Get my hair done already!! It's been since Christmas vacation. Seriously, the roots and gray hairs have got to go. Like now!

Five snacks I enjoy:
1. DIET COKE!! All the time. Every time.
2. Chips n' salsa. Preferably from Chili's.
3. Fresh fruit. Can't get enough.
4. Saltines and butter. I know, I know... totally white trash.
5. Tillamook cheese. Nothing, and I really mean nothing is better than the real thing. Love Tillamook.

Five things I would do if I suddenly became a billionaire:
1. Allow Blaine to turn our home into the computer-command-center I know he dreams of.
2. Buy a beach house in Oregon.
3. Buy a beach house in California.
4. Pay off all our debts and all our families' debts.
5. Shop. For the rest of my life. With absolutely no guilt.

Five places I've lived:
1. Taylorsville, UT. (Current. With my sweetheart.)
2. Salt Lake City, UT. (First apartment married. A little ghetto. We loved it.)
3. Orem, UT. (Pinnacle Apartments. 10th ward. Best four years as a singleton. I've lived in thousands of places as a single gal, but this was my favorite.)
4. Camas, WA. (Only for a couple summers home from school, but I LOVE it there. I'm convinced the Northwest is the most beautiful part of the country.)
5. West Jordan, UT. (I am a west-sider through and through. Born and raised.)

Five jobs I've had: Really? Only five? I've had more jobs than I can count. (Seriously, I've tried to and I can't.) I'll just try to make a list.
Teacher. Substitute teacher. Aveda Receptionist/Sales. Estee Lauder freelance make-up artist. Lancome freelance make-up artist. Lauder girl at Meier and Frank. Lancome girl at Nordstrom. Ringer at Nordstrom. Origins manager at Meier and Frank. Clothing at Meier and Frank. Sweet Tomatoes. Carrabba's. Ah-Ha.Com. Bath and Body Works floor mover. Janitor for Temkin. Entertainment Editor for The College Times. Writer for The College Times. Cold caller for some air purifier thing... or something. Temp. Telemarketer. Payless Shoes at various stores. Sutherlands Lumber. Cineplex Odeon. Ambassador Pizza.

Five things people may not know about me:
1. I fancy myself a Rock Star, yet could never really do it. I don't have the voice or musical talent. And I think I'd be way too reserved-- at least sober-- and I don't drink so... there you go.
2. Like Katrina, I love to be organized and clean. It makes me feel good. I remember a time when we were living together... someone told us something really uncomfortable while we were both in the kitchen; she immediately started organizing the dishwasher and I started wiping down the counters. We didn't even think about it. Just had to clean. Release those endorphins! Hilarious.
3. I have to feel productive. If I don't feel like I am doing something of value in my life I have a really hard time. So, I guess that's why I love projects.
4. My family are my best friends. Yes-- that includes Blaine and the Carters. I LOVE them!
5. I've already talked about this before, but I am a Pop-Culture junkie. I am fascinated by pop-culture and the way if shapes and shifts society. We are what we watch and read.
