TAG! I'M IT!

I am only doing this because ‘I love Michelle!’
I have to ask myself—Why do I dislike doing the ‘Tag’ thing???
Hmmm. I could only come up with two good reasons. Just the two.
The answer: It takes time! It also means that you have to be personal and reveal things about yourself! That’s what makes it so interesting. It gets others to know you on a personal level. Sad that I would think ‘time’ and ‘being personal’ are factors. I can certainly spend lots of ‘time’ on the computer and reading ‘other blogs about other people.’ So I climbed down off my private little perch and here goes…

What Was I Doing 10 years Ago?
Let’s see, brush through the cobwebs in my brain…
The year 1998. We were living in Hawaii, two of my children had left the nest and four were still at home. I was serving in the YW as 2nd Cnslr. and teaching the Mia Maids and loved it! A year later I was the YW President. I loved the girls and they were so awesome! Kirsten was 8 years old and health-wise was doing very well!

What Is On My To-Do List Today?
Well I’ll tell you what I did yesterday!
-It only took 2 ½ hours to clean my house from top to bottom, vacuum, sweep, mop, dust, clean bathrooms, and wipe down kitchen. It’s such a breeze with half your stuff in storage!
-I went to a VT luncheon with my Visiting Teachers. We went to ‘The Rock’ a pizza place and the food is great! Now that’s a funny story-middle aged women going to a pizza place with rock music!
-I mailed some letters.
-I returned a book to the library. I decided I did not want to read it; it was dry and not too interesting.

What Are 3 Habits of Mine?
