tag, i'm it

Thanks to Em, I’ve been tagged for one of these things, so I figured I should comply lest the blog gods unlease a firestorm of wrath on me for ignoring the call of duty.

1. “What were you doing 10 years ago?”
Being a snotty teenager, playing high school soccer, wearing skirts that were too short, blaring country music, working as a poolside waitress for a country club

2. “What were you doing 1 year ago?”
Finding out that – SURPRISE – Levi was going to join the Smith clan, enjoying the almost one-year-old Brighton, wife-ing, mother-ing…pretty much the same old

3. “Five snacks you enjoy:”
homemade bruchetta, homemade salsa, APPLES (obsessed), goat cheese & crackers, red peppers

4. “Five songs to which you know all the lyrics:”
Thomas the Train theme song, everything Old Crow, working on everything Ray, the top 10 country hits in 1996 and Ice, Ice Baby

5. “Five things you would do if you were a millionaire:”
Buy a full-time nanny and house keeper, purchase our honeymoon spot in Puerto Rico, then in my FREE TIME (thanks to the nanny and house keeper) buy amazing, exotic foods to cook, landscape a beautiful, cottage-esque yard, buy all my favorite fabrics from here and start my own business designing/selling funky boys clothing, and of course something really spiritual like save all the orphans in China, to cover all my bases.

6. “Five bad habits:”
Beating up annoying, advice-giving strangers…oh wait. Let’s see, bad habits would include leaving diapers on the changing table because I’m too lazy to walk 2 feet over to the trash and throw them away, sweeping dirt under the rug, drinking too much coffee, and shoving 3 loads worth of laundry into 1 cycle.

7. “Five things you like doing:”
Sewing, drinking margaritas with our neighbors, eating good food with Matthew, playing silly games with Brighton, driving alone at dusk with good music, and making Levi giggle until he practically chokes with excitement. Make that 6 things.

8. “Five things you would never wear again:”
Short, short skirts with thigh-highs (thank you Clueless), bodysuits, floral spandex, platform heels, and 3’ high hairsprayed bangs (thank you South Carolina roots)

Hmm, can’t think of who to tag next…anyone up for the challenge? Link to yourself in comments if you dare :)
