I love a good game of tag!

I have been tagged by Kathryn! What a fun thing to answer! I got a bit held up by the "5 songs I know the lyrics to" but then it all came to me :-) And now all of those songs will be stuck in my head in random order for hours and hours.

5 things I was doing 10 years ago:
  1. was in my junior year of college
  2. going to 50 cent Honey Brown draft night every Thursday :-)
  3. was working at Registration and Records at my college
  4. driving my mommy-mobile (a red ford Taurus wagon with a duck taped Mercedes sympbol on the hood)
  5. at some point I’m sure I did some homework!
5 snacks I enjoy:
  1. chocolate
  2. dark chocolate
  3. chocolate covered pretzels
  4. peanut m&ms
  5. brownies
5 songs I know all the lyrics to:

  1. It takes 2 (Rob Base)
  2. Ice, Ice Baby - not as good as Shannon though! (Vanilla Ice)
  3. Friends in Low Places (Garth Brooks)
  4. Paradise by the Dashboard Light – Col rocks this song at Karaoke though, especially with the “real” Meatloaf signing beside her! (Meatloaf)
  5. Sweet Caroline – bah, bah, bahhhh (Neil Diamond)
5 things I would do if I were a Millionaire
  1. Pay off debt
  2. Adopt more! (okay – let’s get through the first one, right?!?)

  5. Travel
5 bad habits:
  1. eating too much chocolate (see above)
  2. hitting my snooze alarm
  3. procrastinating
  4. stacking things all over my house instead of putting things away (thus, procrastinating)
  5. having to take 15 minutes and lots of deep breaths to become rational about something that makes me mad
5 things I like to do:
  1. Read
  2. scrapbook
  3. go out on the lake
  4. Travel
  5. spend time at home
5 things I would never wear again:

  5. a bikini (Agreed, Kathryn!)
5 favorite toys:

I enjoyed reading your answers Becky and thanks for passing it n to me. Hopefully I can get to it this weekend.

Carey and Norman said...

Hilarious. I loved it! I too would have to second the It Takes Two. Something catchy about that song, I guess. I loved your answers and yes, they brought back many memories.

Too fun!

By the way, did you decide on a adoption class at UAB? I sent an e-mail, but I'm not sure if you got it. We didn't know if you were going in September or October. We too are going to the October pre-adoption class at CHI, so September might work best for us. We still haven't heard back from Vandy and didn't have time to stop yesterday during our journey. Let us know.

Oh how I remember those 50 cent beer night- and don't remember! That really takes me back 10 years!

JennStar said...

LOL!! I would love to see a photo of the taped hood ornament!!! That cracks me up!

Adrienne, Another Ordinary Miracle said...

YOUR SNACKS ARE SO LIKE THOSE I WOULD CHOOSE!! I loooooovvvveeee chocolate :O)

I also would never wear another banana clip, slouched socks, teased hair, or blue eye shadow!

The Mercedes symbol really cracked me up, Becky!

I would love to build a house on a lake in the mountains, pay off debt, and adopt more too!!

Carey and Norman said...

Mareda has left a voice message to call her, so we should have a region today!! She said that she and Sue have chosen for us and it was not Kemerovo, the region we had sent as our preference. Who knows where we will be going. I'm so excited. Maybe Kras like you? Keep watching. I'll post as soon as I find out.

I did e-mail you back. I would resend, but I deleted it.

Ryan and Amy said...

Great answers - I can't believe I forgot about my own choclate habit. Thank you for the nice comments on our blog!

Confessions of a stacker...

Hi my name is Laura and I too am a stacker. I make piles of stuff all over the house. I buy organization stuff in the hopes of someday being orgranized. Even though we have way too much space for the two of us...it seems like there isn't enough room for everything. :) I am working on it. Promise! I need to hurry though. Perhaps our news today will light a fire under my butt and motivate me to pick up. Especially now that the trimwork is all thats left of the bathroom project.
