May. 5, 2008 - I've been tagged....
Woo hoo....I've been tagged by Jenni in KS, who is just tired of me not posting! Here are the rules: 1. The rules of the game get posted at the beginning. 2. Each player answers the questions about themselves. 3. At the end of the post, the player tags 5 people and posts their name, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they've been tagged and asking them to read your blog. As these rules are arbitraryily written by someone with no power...I fully plan to disregard the last one, mostly because I am lazy, and they can't do anything about it anyway. Hee hee hee. What was I doing 10 years ago: My children were 6, 4, almost 3 & 1. Which means I was probably doing laundry. We lived in Peter's Creek Alaska, and I believe I had just started selling Creative Memories, which was my first break out of "just being mom", and made for a bit of a head rush. Five Snacks I enjoy: 1. Coffee (is that a snack?) 2. Ice cream.... coffee flavored 3. Doritos...but I try not to buy them 4. Cheese 5. Jalepeno artichoke spread from Costco with rice crackers....mmmm In the Real World: I'm not too different than I present myself on my blog. I'm a bit scatterbrained. Forget to fix my hair sometimes. Not too often though...I think I am usually fairly put together, at least I start out that way...but I don't spend anytime making sure I stay put together. I love to talk, and any shyness, I had as a child has flown out the window. Things I would do if I were a billionaire: 1. Buy my husband a boat. 2. Buy more books. 3. Have a full time housekeeper. Five jobs that I have had: 1. Ice cream scooper at the Old Time Icecream Parlor at Alaskaland, an old time theme park, where we had to wear long skirts and gingham aprons, but because it was so warm in our store (interior Alaska can hit 100 in the summer...and we had no air conditioning, and a lot of machinery putting off heat) we tried to get away with wearing shorts and gingham aprons. 2. A restraunt hostess for Westours Holland America. This is when I developed my fear of tourists, but I was thrilled to find out that "tour tourists" and "B&B tourists" are entirely different. 3. Ice Cream Scooper for Baskin Robbins....this seemed like an obvious transition, but it didn't last all that long...the owner of the store kept telling us, that his shipment of normal sized shirts never showed up...and so all that he had were extra small polos. Then we noticed that all of us girls were rather large busted... very, very suspecious. On my last day there I found a stash of many different sized shirts. 4. My friends and I created our own catering company, preparing meals for a newly formed tour company, run by other friends, Northern Alaska Tour Co. NATC is now very successful. Our catering company folded. 5. During college, at Oregon State, I worked in the library inputting all the new books. 6. I'm going to list 6, because I actually believe that is all the jobs I have ever had, until my current situation of B&B owner & bookstore owner. I worked for National Bank of Alaska for 2 years in the VISA department, until Amanda made her arrival. Three of my habits: 1. I never stay on a schedule 2. I can't stop reading once I have started a book 3. I like to sneak spoonfuls of ice cream out of the fridge. (this is like the 5th time I have mentioned ice cream in my post.) Five places I have lived: 1. Fairbanks Alaska 2. Minneapolis, MN (when I was 2 while my dad was getting his PhD) then we moved back to Fairbanks. 3. Uppsala Sweden (when I was 12, while my dad was on a sabbatical) 4. Corvallis, Oregon 5. Anchorage, Alaska What do you want others to get from your blog? Whatever they want!
