Tag, I'm It

Okay, Jennifer. I'll participate in this blog-tag game and answer these questions your sister made you answer, but how far is this going to go, anyway? Sooner or later someone has to put their foot down...

#1 Where were you ten years ago?
I was living in this exact house with my husband Gary, Jonathan, 13; Spencer, 11; and Natalie, 8. That was the year that our Natalie spent almost entirely upside-down. She was always doing handstands and hanging from things like a bat. I was teaching piano lessons most afternoons, and this being July I was probably having a class lesson outside with half my students.

#2 Five things on today's to-do list:
Drive Jonathan to work at Papa John's after he dropped his Volkswagen off to see what was wrong with it, and then drive him to the bank to deposit his check.
Take Natalie to her voice lesson at Jennifer's house, to her rehearsal for "Once Upon A Mattress" in Olympia, and to an audition at the Tacoma Musical Playhouse.
Wait not-so-patiently for my weekly email from Spencer, who comes home from his mission in Paraguay in 32 days.
Do some weeding in the back yard.
Read in the park for pleasure!

#3 A snack I enjoy :
Lately I'm really enjoying Umpqua Dairy Chocolate Brownie Thunder ice cream. It has these ribbons of fudge - big ones - that melt in your mouth.

#4 Things I would do if I were a millionaire:
Fly around the world to all the places my family has history and spend hours poring over old musty records and tromping through cemeteries.
Build the tree house I've always wanted.
Go around paying anonymously for people's gas and groceries.

#5 Places I've lived:
Anaheim, California; Roseburg, Oregon; Provo, Utah; Spokane, Washington;

If anyone feels compelled to consider themselves tagged at this point, copy these questions onto your blog and answer them!

I love tags. They had to grow on me, but now I really enjoy them. I like knowing these things about you!

Gee whiz, thanks for the enthusiasm...NOT! (Note to self: Carol is a party-pooper). I hope it wasn't too "painful" to participate...and don't worry, I won't tag you again(but we all enjoyed reading your answers, just so you know) :P::::::

Hi, Carol. My name is Sarah, I'm a blog stalker, and I'm Jennifer's kid sister that made her answer these questions, and she then made you answer them. I'm just glad to put a face with the name I've heard about. Hopefully I'll get to meet you soon when I fly my hiney up there to see my awesome-est sister!

(hope you aren't freaked out by my being here..... I'm mostly normal, unless Jennifer's told you the truth!)
