1)The Life & Times of a First Time Stay at Home Mom
What were you doing 10 years ago?
I was a young 14 years old! Hmm- what, 8th grade or something? I have fond memories of my junior high years with my best friend at the time, April. Oh my gosh- I don’t think I’ve laughed as much since junior high. Memories of Summer Journals, Smashing Pumpkins, and my totally cool SilverTab Wide Leg jeans come to mind.
What were you doing 1 year ago?
I was just coming back from Dubai! It was such a fun trip! Will went skiing in their indoor ski lodge (yes, you can actually ski in the Middle East- go figure, right!?) and we stayed a night here. It was amazing!
Five snacks you enjoy:
Ha ha! The foods below aren’t necessarily my favorites (because honestly- you all know I like to eat like a freaking man cow), but they’re ones I actually eat on a regular basis at work and like.
1. Lettuce wraps with tofu, cheese, and dijon mustard
2. South Beach cookies/cereal bars
3. Chickpeas with balsamic vinegar
4. Low Sugar Fruit
5. Yogurt
Those are my week day work snacks. My weekend snacks look very different. Very different.
Five songs that you know all the lyrics to:
1. One, Three Dog Night
2. The Dress Looks Nice on You, Sujfan Stevens <3
3. Transatlanticism, Death Cab for Cutie <3
4. Gimme Shelter, The Rolling Stones
5. I Need Thee Every Hour
Five things you would do if you were a millionaire:
1. Tithe (we do that anway, but still- you gotta put it, right?)
2. Buy a business so my money is continually working
3. Buy a house by the lake
4. Buy Will his GMC truck
5. Have a weekly spa package set up so I can have the works done every Friday afternoon (ahhh...)
Five bad habits:
1. Worrying
2. Being too nice/passive That’s probably the biggest.
3. Feeling the need to freaking eat anything in front of me just because it’s there. Wait, that’s probably the biggest
4. Stressing over things I can’t change (seriously- I stress about things WAY over my head- international relations, the environment, etc. I’m so weird)
5. Eating peanut butter with a spoon right out of the jar… and then putting honey on top of the gobbed spoonful of peanut butter. And then totally using the same spoon to get more. I’m such a sick-o. Definitely the biggest. No question.
Five things you like doing:
1. Weight Training <3
2. Blogging
3. Watching boxsets of shows we don’t get over here (yes, I’m lazy. I admit it.)
4. Viewing photography
5. Listening to my iPod
Five things you would never wear again:
1. Loafers and white socks
2. A t-shirt tucked into my jeans and pulled out (you know- the bubbled-tuck look?)
3. Reebox High Tops (remember!? They had like every color imaginable- plus some colors I don’t think even register on the color wheel!)
4. A ribbon tied around my pony tail
5. Straight Leg Jeans
Five favorite toys:
1. iPod
2. Camera
3. I Have No Clue
4. What Else To Say

8 Random Things About Me!
1. One summer, when I was little, I was hot. To cool off I decided to stuff two eggs down my pants and then crack them.
No, I have no idea why.
Wait- it was because I was hot. It makes sense, right!?
...
Sigh, I was destined to be weird from the start…
2. I inherited my father’s digestive system. ie: I’ve probably plugged up more toilets than all of you combined (what a lovely fun fact, right!?) Thank God for Benefiber.
Seriously.
3. I went to 9 different elementary schools prior to 5th grade.
No- it wasn’t because I was a troubled child (hmm… or was it!?!). My dad was in the army.
4. One time I tried to pay a pizza man $12 for a $24 pizza order. I gave him a coupon that said “half off” so I thought it meant that I could use the coupon as the other $12 and just pay half… I was in high school when I did this, by the way. Speaking of pizza- I didn’t know you were supposed to tip the pizza guy until about 2 years ago. So- if you ever delivered to my house, I’m really sorry. I didn’t know.
5. In college I tried to vacuum my bedroom. I came out all sweaty and told my mom vacuuming was hard work. She looked at me perplexed and asked why. “Well because you have to keep lifting it up everywhere you go!” I answered. Apparently I never pushed the lever to release the vacuum and was doing it upright. What a freaking moron. I graduated Cum Laude, by the way.
No, I really did.
6. I don’t wash my hair everyday.
7. I played the cello for 7 years. I miss it so much. I hope one day I’ll be able to buy a nice one and take lessons again. See- I’m totally refined (HA HA HA)!
8. One time I bowled a 7. Yes, a 7. And I actually tried my hardest to do well.
Anyone want to start a bowling league?
Tired of MeMes yet?? You can’t be because
YOU’RE IT!
