Ten Years Ago...
My husband and I celebrated 25 years of marriage.
We had three children living at home (and sometimes a few extra with in-law, my mother, a nephew or niece!)
I was an assistant principal at Garside MS--or the dean at Hyde Park MS (that seems like an eternity ago!) and Jim was busy with his general contracting business.
Yoogie, the darling poodle dog, lived with us.
Five things on my to do list today...
Wake up & get out of bed (rather than remain for an hour or two like I wish I could!)
Be on time to the meeting with the Faiss Family to plan the school's dedication (April 23, 2008).
And the rest are numerous little things---too much to write and not significant enough to be in print!
(Did I ever mention I don't like lists of things I have to do!)
Things I enjoy...
Experiencing life, new adventures, meeting people, doing things.
Resting and relaxing without feeling stressed! (rare occasion for me!)
Accomplishing, building, dreaming, creating, learning.
Fun times with family, additions to the family, and learning the language our in-laws.
Communicating, teaching, sharing, expressing, and admittedly sometimes being a little bizarre for a grandma and principal!
Three bad habits...
1. Drinking the family coined, "Death Water!" (soda) I quit frequently.
2. Being a workalcoholic suffering guilt and addiction to accomplishing something all the time!
3. Refusing to (or avoiding?) exercise
Five places I've lived...
1. Kanab, Utah
2. Provo, Utah
3. Orem, Utah
4. Las Vegas, Nevada (Alcoa Avenue, Family Court, Duneville Street, & Pine Knolls Court)
5. (See above)
Five Jobs I've had...
1. Car Hop & Waitress
2. Delivering Avon for the Avon Lady (because I was 16 and had a car!)
3. Substitute Teacher
4. Stay -at -home mom
5. Owner & director of Joy's Kiddie Academy (preschool)
Five things people don't know about me...
1. As often as I share my opinion, there are many times I do not and bite my tongue.
2. I don't like it when people don't like my ideas. (well, maybe you already know this...it's hard to find things people don't know about me because I am so open about my feelings!)
3. I rather eat popcorn than candy. (at least strangers wouldn't be able to guess this!)
4. I love vacationing with my husband because he will make all the decisions, planning, investigating what to see, etc... and I can simply enjoy the entire time he plans for us!
5. My children are an improvement on my generation (me!)
Things I want to do next ...
1. Learn to play bridge
2. Write a book
3. Teach at the university
4. Start an Empty Nester Group to be more social and less work focused!
5. Exercise routinely (well...maybe)
