Old School Style

I'll admit it. I read a lot of random blogs.    I saw this post on another blog and thought it might be fun to answer myself.  I figure if I like reading about other peoples...I'd sure someone out there in blog world may enjoy mine.

1.  What were you doing 10 years ago?
Hmmm....2003.  I would have been 22.  I was in Madison, Wisconsin.  I was in my senior year of college.  In all honesty, I was pretty miserable.  My long term boyfriend had just dumped me out of nowhere and I was desperately thinking he would come back.  He didn't (thankfully).  In an attempt to start my life again, I dated a guy for a few months who was not for me...but took an interest in me. I was interning at Grant Thorton in Madison, wondering what in the heck I was doing getting an accounting degree.  I hated this job and was wondering what I was thinking and how I was going to live actually doing this job in the future.   Towards April I was back in school finishing the semester in class and again getting confirmation that I loved the accounting world. I think I just liked learning in retrospect.  I was renewed with the focus that if I moved out of Madison, it would be an entirely new situation.  Ick. That just made me sad...but at the same time so thankful that I have what I do now.


2. What 5 things are on your to-do list?

• Update Grace's baby book. It's been eight months.  And download pictures from my camera.
• Paint the spots of missing paint in the house.
• Look up and hire a company to clean my house this spring. And clean the carpets.
• Plan a vacation
• Go through Grace's clothes and store them away.

3. What are 5 snacks you enjoy?

• Cereal (most notably Lucky Charms)
• Cool Ranch Doritos
• Trail Mix (nuts mostly)
• Veggies and Dip (light ranch please)
• I really don't discriminate. I enjoy snacks. I could do without meals.

4. Name some things you would do if you were a millionaire?
Quit work, make Josh quit work, and hang out with him all day.  Grace out of daycare (just a couple days a week) and move somewhere warm where we could be outside 90% of the days.  I'd give money to family members that have helped me over the last couple years...especially while Josh has been traveling...though I'm sure I could never repay. 


5. Name some places you have lived.
Hixton, Black River Falls, Platteville, Madison, Minneapolis, Columbia Heights

6. Name some bad habits you have.
I used to bite my nails. And then decided to stop one day (thank you pregnancy).  I don't wash my face at night (I really should stop this...).  I'm sure there are more.

7.  Name some jobs you have had.
Yikes.  Hotel Front Desk, Hostess, Waitress, Teller at Credit Union, Telemarketer (lasted a week), Library Receptionist, Teacher, Financial Analyst, Sales Ops Manager.  Holy buckets. When I write that all down - that's a lot!
