Tara tagged me!

10 years ago today...

Hmmm. Ok so I am so much older than you. 10 years ago I was 20 and at Utah State University. Second year in Graphic Design, living in a house with Melanie Hall and some weird girl who would get drunk off wine coolers in her bedroom with her giant fluffy dog. She was a culinary arts major who would make pans full of lasagna and leave them on the counter never eaten. So...we (My roomates and I) stuck it all in the fridge and had free leftovers whenever we wanted! Sledding and freezing our butts off! I loved it.


5 things on my to-do list today:
Great day to ask!

1. Check train schedule to see if the 10-12 inches of snow will keep Brady in Chicago overnight.
2. Make Cupcakes....pudding in the recipe....MMMMM.
3. Laundry Laundry Laundry...are you serious you finished??? Does that ever happen???
4. Hope I can live for a third night with brady being gone till after the kids are almost in bed.
5. Finish going through my filing cabinet...yet another task never done. But you wouldn't believe what I've just thrown away! Yay!

I enjoy:

Designing or creating anything. Photography has become one of my new passions as well. One of those mom things. Making cute cupcakes and or sugar cookies. Playing with my kids. Can I put in here that I hate cooking??? And talking for hours if I can corner Brady!


What would I do if I were suddenly made a billionaire?

Travel, learn to surf, play golf with Brady since he thinks it's the game of the Gods, decorate a new house any way I like, buy lighting and backdrop equipment, get a new mac pro with an enormous screen, a new cake studio for Jamie and I to make cakes all day....oh the list would be embarrassingly too long so I'll stop here!


3 of my bad habits:

Hmmm. This isn't any fun. Um, I bite my nails sometimes. I love sugar...maybe it's not a habit but more of a hereditary flaw ask uncle rich,or Steve!!. And....i can't think of a third.


5 places I have lived: EASY!!!

1. Miton, Utah
2. Barrington, Illinois
3. Guilbert, Arizona
4. Logan, Utah
5. Orem, Utah

5 jobs that I have had:

1-Sounds Easy Pizza (Burned down while I was working...I got to evacuate the building and my midget friend "little Bec"called 911) not a joke.
2- Tony Romas in Logan
3- Heidi Swapp (never thought I'd be a scrapbooker. I guess I'm still not, but do blogs count?)
4- Flagger on State Street in Orem right after high school. I have way too many funny stories to tell about this one. Does F-chick come to mind?
5- 4Life - all utahn's have to work for a network marketing company at one time or another right?


5 things people don't know about me:

1- I broke both my arms at the same time.
2- All four of my front teeth are fake.
3- I'm nervous in public
4- I hate girls camp
5- I've had my license revoked once and denied once.

Gosh I'm SO glad I tagged you! Not only was a good to actually hear from you but it was so hilarious! Oh I could just hear you saying it all like you were sitting right beside me, my friend. You have lived such an adventerous life! But you are a Garner and Garners can make anything fun and hilarious. AND they remember every detail and tell the story over and over! I must say I miss you guys and hope to see you soon!

I could comment on every thing you spoke of in your tag so can I just say: you make me smile, you make me laugh, you make me feel like my life ain't so bad and I just love you!

Mandy,
I love you, and I am going to miss you SO much I might have to pretend you still live here just to cope! "Mandy's" don't come along too often in life, and I am glad to know you. I am 100% with you on the hating girls camp thing, and BOTH arms, come on!

Mandy said...

Tara- you are a crackup. I'm glad we Garner's can be comic relief. Comes from Grandma Elsie!! We so wish we lived closer so our little girls could play!! We have so much fun with you and we better see you soon! Love ya!

Mandy said...

Jess-You know I feel the same about you. And anytime you want....Pirates of the Carribean are waiting for you to come with us!! Yep both arms. Sounds rediculous I know. I caught myself after falling out of a swing when i was startled by the bell in third grade. Maybe Will and I have something in common!
