I've been tagged by Katie. (I just realized that today...I'm still trying to catch up on my blogging...)
So here goes:
TEN YEARS AGO
Wade and I had been married for 2 years. We were living in River Falls, but packing up to move to West St. Paul so Wade could go back to school to become an aviation mechanic. That meant I needed to be the main bread winner for a while, so I got a job at Blue Cross Blue Shield in Eagan, working in customer service, claims processing/adjustment, and then training for new employees. (Since my B.A. in psychology was oh so useful. Tee hee.)
MY TO-DO LIST TODAY
1. Get Abby off to school (Emily starts tomorrow)
2. Go to my OB appointment
3. Fold dark towels and wash the light ones
4. Wash mysterious orange stains that appeared on half my laundry from yesterday
5. Arrange volunteer times for the girls' classrooms
6. Leave encouraging message on a friend's caring bridge site
7. Rake bathroom floor of the droves of my hair that have fallen on it
8. RSVP to Abby's first school birthday party of the year (already!?)
9. Fill out yellow health forms for school that I should have already done
10. Sign computer agreement for school that says I & my children will not steal copyrighted material or look at pornography
11. Take a nap
12. Resolve weird conflict with my neighbor
13. Plan & make supper
14. Pray and think through whether or not we can afford to have Abby in dance this year.
15. Call a babysitter for this weekend
SNACK THAT I ENJOY
I can't choose just one...puppy chow, red grapes, nachos with cheese, chocolate ice cream malts, whatchamacallit candy bars.
THINGS I WOULD DO IF I WERE A MILLIONAIRE
1. Give 10% to my church
2. Give generously to numerous missionaries we know that I'd love to support
3. Buy a house with character & a big fenced in yard
4. Set us up for retirement
5. Set the kids up for college and the girls' weddings
6. Buy great underwear
7. Invest the rest

How did the first day of school go?! How is the thing with the neighbor? Let's try to catch up this weekend. :) Call me or I'll call you, whichever happens first. :)
I'm wondering too what the thing with your neighbor is. And is Emily starting Kindy or 1st gr. already?
Emily is started kindergarten. (We waited a year with her, so she's actually already 6.)
Thanks Kara Jo, that was neat. thank you for playing along.
ps on the orange laundry stain. We had that too once, it was a crayon that Anna had in her pocket. Went through the wash and then.....the DRYER! Not good. Hope your situation is better.
I totally do not remember you and Wade living in River Falls before you moved to West St. Paul. Where was your apartment? Where was I?
Bria! Welcome...all the way from Shanghai!!! I think this is the first time you've ever commented on my blog. Love hearing from you, Sis!
Bria, Oh, our River Falls apartment was right across from Dick's IGA grocery store. It was a one bedroom. Big living room, weird kitchen with dark brown carpet! We celebrated a belated Christmas there together with Grandma K, as the rest of you had been in Bismarck with Aunt Karen & Uncle Ron.
Love the "buy great underwear" part! Too funny!
p.s. remember little Lily Putt?
I was just wondering if anyone caught the underwear line.
Yeah...Lillie Putt...miss her...she's probably off in guinea pig heaven somewhere. :(
I'm going to do it eventually. I haven't forgotten . . .
