Nate had just hit his one year mark on his mission. I was living in Provo, Utah by myself in a little basement apartment. I was working full-time as an HR Assistant and was incredibly ALONE. I bought my first computer that was ALL MINE on my first real credit card. I would spend hours on that thing, writing letters to Nate, sending emails to friends and family and teaching myself to design my first website.

5 things on my list to do today...
Wow, I already got them done and it's only 2:30 in the afternoon! They were:
1. Buy dog license at Pasco City Hall
2. Deposit Check at bank
3. Pick up library books and DVDs waiting on hold
4. Help Kim with her computer
5. Make Dinner, not pick it up from a drive-thru (well this one isn't done, but I'm going to do it!)

Snacks I enjoy...
1. Nachos...any kind, the ones with real cheese or artificial...I'm not picky!
2. Popcorn from the movie theater with extra butter and salt
3. Chocolate...cookies, candy, cake, pie, ice cream...you get the drift.
4. Krispy Kremes...the chocolate ones with the whip cream inside...mmm, I could die happy.

What I would do if I were suddenly a
millionaire...
Invest it, go on vacation without the kiddos and then maybe go back to school and start a computer business of some kind with the hubby.

3 bad habits......
1. Sleeping too much...I tell the kids if I could be any animal I would choose a bear so I could hibernate all winter long.
2. Stressing, worrying and being way too anxious about EVERYTHING.
3. Letting my priorities get all messed up.

5 places I have lived...
1. Lebanon, Oregon
2. Walla Walla, Washington
3. Longview and Kelso, Washington
4. Provo and Orem, Utah
5. Richland and Pasco, Washington


5 jobs I have had...
1. Library Page (the girl who sorts and re-stocks the shelves)
2. Library Clerk
3. Human Resources Assistant
4. Assistant Librarian at a high school
5. Receptionist at Novell

5 things people don't know about me...
1. I have to sleep with a fan at night. HAVE TO. I need the white noise...not the actual blowing of air. If I sleep somewhere else and there isn't a fan, I have to improvise or I don't sleep. That means, turning on the AC/Heater, running a bathroom fan, or tuning the radio to static. I know, weird. I finally bought myself some white noise CD's (yes, they really sell those) so I would always have my trusty white noise wherever I go. Usually I just pack a small fan...or all my relatives know to dig out a fan for me.
2. When I was 21 I was diagnosed with Sensory Integration or Sensory Processing Disorder. Yeah, Google it, most people don't know what it is. It's most often diagnosed in children and always coincides with another disorder like anxiety, autism or learning disabilities. It explains A LOT of my anxiety and depression issues. It also explains why I have to sleep with a fan. :-)
3. I saw M.C. Hammer in concert when I was in middle school. Yeah, I know..it gets better... Guess who opened for him? Vanilla Ice.
4. I don't really know how to swim. I can kind of dog paddle, but not that well. I'm afraid of the water.
5. I'm obsessive about lining up books with the edge of the book case. When at the library or a bookstore, I'll start doing it without noticing. I guess this goes back to the job at the library...

Jen, it's time to come out of hiding and do a quick post, I'm tagging you! And Heath and Amber, too. And Steph, are you still doing a blog? You, too!
