Another Tag

Okay this is fun. Even if i haven't blogged about anything all week. It was a pretty exciting week too. Well more so for Superman i think. i really felt for the guy. anyways here's the tag list. What was i doing:

10 years ago? lets see that was may of 1998...i was in the middle of nowhere, idaho living on a sheep ranch owned by the feds. i was still working the lambing though it had slowed down alot...it was just the late lambers by then. and it snowed the weekend of mothers day. yep. i was still freezing my hiney off and wearing quadruple layers of clothes while my family was here enjoying tornado weather. in fact, i believe that was the spring that a tornado ripped through stroud (off I-44 halfway to OKC) and blew away the outlet mall. that was kinda sad cuz the owner decided not to re-build it.

**OOPS! i realized the other night watching the news that i was a year off. the news lady mentioned the anniversary of that tornado from 1999. so here's my real '98...i had just returned home from Ricks College 20# heavier than when i left. I couldn't really remember what was going on so i looked up may of '98 in my journal.

Looks like I was still figuring out where my life was going, especially spiritually, and worrying about meeting the right man. I was also going to summer school at the community college in tulsa and attending bible study with a group of young single adults. I do remember hiring a personal fitness trainer to learn how to manage my nutrition and metabolism. It worked. Just FYI: I lost all the weight by the end of the year and have managed my nutrition pretty well (everyone slips up) since.**

5 years ago? may of 2003...well i was a newlywed...i was commuting from inola (east of tulsa) all the way to stillwater (west and south of tulsa) attending OkState. it was 1 hour and 40 minutes one way and i usually rode BOB, that left from OkState Tulsa. this week would have been finals week. fun stuff.

5 months ago? i was still recovering from the birth of my third runt, BBB. except he really isn't a runt. the kid's up to 14# now. WO! my lil' gals' weren't that heavy till they were around 9 months old. he's almost 5 months now. where does time run off to? we had just celebrated my niece's 3rd b-day and i was fixin' (like that?) to close out a Pampered Chef show for my SIL.

5 things on my To Do List today: (so far i've gotten to 1, 2, and 4)

5 things i'd do if i became a billionaire:

5 bad habits:
