Tag! Here we go again...

A. I am breaking all the rules and I am not tagging anyone... but if you would like to do it, then go for it! I love to read them!

10 years ago:
Jason and I were living in an older couples basement apartment (we loved it!), both working full-time, going to school, and no kids yet! It was such a fun time! I still dream of those lazy Sunday afternoons...

5 things on my to-do list today:
1. Help in Audrey's school class
2. Clean-up, vacuum, fold laundry
3. Bring Audrey to dance
4. Cook dinner
5. Help Ethan finish homework


5 Snacks I enjoy:
1. Hershey's Mint Chocolate Kisses (they didn't make them this year and I was so disappointed!)
2. Wheat Thins with Garlic & Herb Laughing Cow Cheese Spread
3. Chedder Cheese Popcorn
4. Chips & Salsa (a staple in the Kidd household!)
5. M&M's and a cold Sprite

What I would do if I were suddenly made a billionaire:
1. Help both Jason's and my parents retire and retire WELL!
2. Buy a couple of homes, including this one! Oh!... and, of course, buy a big pad for each of my brothers and sisters too!
3. Pay off all of our friend's debt and then go on a shopping spree and give them each $10,000 with the rule that they had to spend it all in one day!
4. Give my kids amazing life experiences and try as hard as I could to not spoil them or let them grow up feeling entitled.

5. Find worthy charities to support.
6. And I agree with Julie... Shop! Shop! Shop! (Come on, who wouldn't?)

3 of my bad habits:
1. Staying up too late
2. Eating late night snacks
3. Always forgetting my cell phone or having a dead battery!

5 places I have lived:
(This is really depressing after reading Kerry's blog!)
1. Renton
2. Kent
3. Covington
4. Maple Valley

5 jobs that I have had:
1. Shakey's Pizza (Jason and I worked there together in high school!)
2. Receptionist for BEST Retail Stores. (No longer around)
3. Equifax (typed up people's application for life insurance)
4. Smith & Greene Company (restaurant equipment & supply company)
5. MOTHER!

5 Things people don't know about me:
(I'm pretty much an open book, so I can't think of much...)
1. I've been both skydiving and bungee jumping! Love a good thrill!
2. I've already had skin cancer. The youngest case my dermatologist has ever seen.
3. I have white hair. Not just a few strands... I'm completely white.
4. I am always cold! Always! I'd set my thermostat to 80 degrees if it weren't so expensive!
5. I shattered most the bones in my right hand and had to have metal pins put in it when I was 11.

Uhmmmm....can I come live with you in that house? I'll clean the bathrooms for my keep. It's gorgeous!
I'm cold a lot too but it's because my thyroid is screwed up. :)

The Mendenhall's said...

I love your new house. Which one are you buying for me?? I can't wait. And yes, you are the worst at not having your cell phone with you. Your husband even works for T-mobile and you get unlimited minutes. Its a shame.

Kerry said...

Skin cancer? Care to share more details? Also, I will never sit in a Shakey's booth again without thinking of you and Jason making out behind the building on your break. j/k....you probably didn't kiss until your wedding day, right? ;)

Jaime said...

Got to love those LEE genes, huh?

so sad about the skin cancer.

Loved your tag, I find these things really interesting.

Mark and Jennifer said...

Hmmm I guess I could hope you're a billionaire, huh? Sorry about passing on the white hair gene. It is such a dominant gene! And you dad gets credit for the skin cancer gene.

Jenie said...

I didn't know about the hand break. Where was I? Neat to learn all this stuff. And YES I Love Clown fish!

TamBaum said...

Can I come swimming at your house? And I would like to see you go all natural with your hair color please!

The J's said...

I learned a lot about you today Becca!!

The Dillon 6 said...

white hair's the way to go...I hope, Hope, HOPE I get that way, too!!! (but not until I'm, you know, "older") ;)

I didn't know about your hand!!

kerry...
my skin cancer is not as dire as it sounds. it was basal cell cancer which is caused by prolonged exposure to sun over many years. it's mostly found on people later in life. the weird thing is that it was on my scalp covered by my hair. my doctor found it highly unusual... (and i'm not a sun bather!... due to my family genetics!)

and yes, tammy, everyone's invited to my "new" house to swim! ;)

Corey and Lisa said...

It's kinda fun reading things about each other! I went into the dermatologist this week cuz I was afraid I might have skin cancer on my face, but much to my releif, he said it looked benign. Fun post!

Groverfam said...

Funny, except for the skin cancer I knew all of that, except for what you would do if you were a billionaire but I could have guessed pretty good at that. I love laughing cow cheese- is your chips and salsa from our fave mexi restaurant. I miss those days. We need to meet up and go.
