What were you doing 10 years ago?
Let's see...I was 17 years old, a Junior at Layton High School. I was in Laytones, and like Shann, getting ready for California, hoping for a CTR, no doubt. Who would I have liked then?? Hmm, I'm not sure. Dustin Hall and I kinda had an on again off again thing all through high school, and I think we may have been on around this time. I was working at Blockbuster Music and already suffering from Senioritis.
5 things on my "to-do" list today.
1-Make an appointment for Kate's 9 month Well Child Visit.
2-Register for the Ogden Half-Marathon.
3-Watch Survivor.
4-Clean up, make dinner, and all the other usual chores.
5-Play with Kate!
6 Snacks that I enjoy.
1- Anything Chocolate, but especially Chocolate covered cinnamon bears. Shanna introduced these to me right after I had Kate and I'm totally hooked!
2-Mrs. Call's licorice flavored caramels.
3-String Cheese.
4-Edamame's.
5-Fresh Fruit, especially pears and peaches.
6-Fresh Veggies, especially straight from the garden. (Which I am planning to try my black thumb at this year.)
3 bad habits. (Only three?)
1-I'm a picker. Pimples, ingrown hairs, scabs....anything that has topography doesn't last long on my body! I realized it was a major problem when I started picking at Kate...
2-I am not very punctual, and especially late for church. It's something I know there is no excuse for, but try as I may I just can't be on time!
3-Blog Stalking. Need I say more on this one? I love it, but man! The time sucking effects it has are out of this world! :)
If I were suddenly a billionaire I would...
First of all, I'm glad it says billionaire instead of millionaire because sadly there's not much room for creativity with only a million dollars! So if I were a billionaire I would definitely try not to broadcast it so I can share the funds with family and friends as anonymously as possible. I think that Mike and I would both LOVE to finish up school, including our Masters', without having to worry about making ends meet. I would put enough into a high yield savings account for a comfortable retirement including a couple of missions, college savings funds for 5 kids. Then the rest will probably go to gasoline.

Provo, UT (2002, 10 weeks)
Thailand (2002-2003)

5 Jobs I've had.

America West Bank: New Accounts, Draw Department
5 Things people don't know about me
I want to be a carpenter! I took a woodworking class a couple of years ago, but unfortunately the timing was bad (work and school full time) so I only made a shelf. I hope to get back into it one day.
I am content with my body to the extent that I haven't ever thought (seriously, anyway) about plastic surgery. The only thing that I plan to change someday is to get laser hair removal in a few areas. The sooner the better!
I'm kind of the "jack of all trade, ruler of none" type. I am ok at a lot of things, but I don't feel like I have any truly mastered and impressive skills.
While I was in Thailand (as a missionary) I held a very large, very live, very venomous King Cobra around my neck. It was "trained" but seriously, what was I THINKING??
Most of you know this already, but I used to have a significant gap between my two front teeth. Also while in Thailand. my companion lost her retainers and while we were at the orthodontist I saw that to get my teeth bonded was only going to cost like $25! I figured for that price it was worth the risk and I could just get it taken off if it was terrible.
Are you bored yet? There are a couple more to come....unless you're bored. Don't be afraid to say so; I respect straight forwardness!

Coming straight at ya--NOT BORED.
I love reading these kinds of posts. So savings for 5 kids hu? When is #2?
I was recently introduced to string cheese. Now, you might think it is wierd but I had never had it until hmmm about 6 months ago. I tried one of Clayts and now I am hooked. I had it for breakfast with my Coke today :). Delicious & Nutricious!
Good luck with a garden! I will come help dig & plant if you need any help.
Not bored at all! I laughed out loud when you said your billion dollars will probably go to gasoline! Hilarious!
Me too Jen! I thoroughly enjoyed your answers Lyd! Seriously though, the Ogden half marathon? That is awesome! Good luck with that-you'll have to keep me posted.
Ah, the CTRs. I longed for one, but alas, did not get one. Thanks for reminding me. hee hee hee
I sorta gave up on ya cause you hadn't posted in awhile. Yeah I was blog stalking you cuz you're on Jenny's blogroll. I like your posts. I l liked u immediately when I met you at the candle party. I think its funny that you call yourself an extroverted introvert. I didn't know you were RM from the land of Thai. Cool!
Keep 'em comin' Lydia. I love finding out more about you. It's funny you said you wanted to be a carpenter. I myself think that would be fun. I am so tempted to go bang on some boards up at my new house....
Totally not bored. I want more. You really had me laughing with this one. If I remember correctly you did have a CTR that year. Dare I say his name on your blog? It may have been a different year. I'll give you a hint, it starts with an 'E'. Can't wait for the next tag!!
Hey Lydia!! Long time since I've talked to you! Hope things are going well. Kate is adorable!
I just had to respond to your comment...I'm glad that I'm not the only one that's questioning the Twilight movie. I'm having the hardest time with the Edward they chose. I did see THE most perfect Edward at the doctors office a couple of weeks ago and he was probably wondering why I was staring at him.
Very fun, Lyd. I love these kinds of posts--it's amazing how much you learn about someone that you think you know pretty well!
Am I the only one who doesn't know what a CTR is? (California Trip Romance, maybe? enlighten me)
I can't remember you living in Provo.
I hate to burst your bubble, but laser hair removal is not a long-term solution. I had it done on my upper lip right after we moved here to Utah, and all the hair grew back a few months later. :(
I don't think it is worth the money!
Emily- #2 will be thought about in about another year.
Jealin- I did have a CTR that year...you're right on the money. He's kind of a relative now, have I told you that? He's married to my sister-in-law's sister.
Mindy- yes, California Trip Romance. And Provo was just the MTC.
