I've been tagged! Thanks, Amber. Makes me feel cool : )

Quick 5 and List of 8

Quick 5:
1. What was I doing 10 years ago?
Throwing up. I was pregnant with Theron and didn't realize I had a ruptured appendix. I threw up every day for about 8 months.

2. What are 5 things on my to-do list today?
It's already night time so...
1. get the kids to bed.
2. catch up on laundry.
3. eat some of the cookies Viv and I made today.
4. read my scriptures (desperately trying to finish the Book of Mormon by the end of the year).
5. work on the kindergarten tours projects I signed up to run at the kids' school, which turns out to actually be a fairly huge job.

3. Snacks I enjoy: peanut m&ms, bruschetta, quesadillas, and corn chips with a sort of tacky cheese dip made with velvetta and rotel.

4. Places I've lived: WA, OR, AZ, UT, and back to WA.

5. Five things I'd do if I were a billionaire:
1. buy a Shelby Cobra
2. travel!
3. invest (doesn't everyone have to say that?)
4. pay off debt (that too?)
5. hire a staff, including a masseuse, secretary, and chef

8 favorite places I love to eat:

4. Icon Grill (comfort food at its best)

6. El Sombrero in Walla Walla (Theron and I went there on our first date, and Theron ate most of my food plus all of his)
7. Romio's Pizza
