What were you doing 10 years ago?

I had just graduated with my undergrad degree from Southwest Missouri State University. That fall I was to start graduate school in Speech-Language Pathology. I'd just moved into my very own apartment all by myself. I lusted after a hot guy named Craig (give me a moment while I reflect, mmmm). For money, I worked at Ruby Tuesday as a hostess. I loved my 1991 black Mitsubishi Eclipse. Most evenings I could be found at Jordan Creek, Harpo's, or any other fine establishment that served beer.


Five Snacks You Enjoy

1. Salt and Vinegar Chips
2. Tortilla Chips and Salsa
3. Pizza Combos (but not the ones with pretzels, those are yucky)
4. Cookies and Cream Ice Cream
5. Cheese and Crackers

Five Songs That You Know All The Lyrics To:

1. Hit Me Baby One More Time by Britney Spears (shut up, you know them, too)
2. Greased Lightening by John Travolta (actually I know all the words to all the Grease songs)
3. Lookin' For Love by Johnny Lee (from the movie Urban Cowboy. Hey, I used to have a thing for John Travolta)
4. Dancing Queen by Abba
5. Fade to Black by Metallica

Five Things You Would Do If You Were a Millionaire:

1. Pay off my Honda Pilot and my house
2. Invest in my kids 529 plans
3. Invest in our retirement accounts
4. Go to Hawaii
5. Hire a personal shopper (maybe Stacy and Clinton)

Five bad habits:

1. Blogging and all related blogging activities too much
2. Not exercising
3. Not keeping up with the checkbook and the mountains of receipts I always need to record
4. Biting my inner cheek when I'm nervous
5. Yelling at my dogs

Five Things You Like To Do:

1. Blog and all blogging related activities
2. Go out to dinner at non-chain restaurants
3. Watch great TV shows (unlike the series finale of "The Sopranos")
4. Relax on the beach or in our boat on the lake
5. Drink a beer or two

Five Things You Would Never Wear Again:

1. Leg Warmers
2. A perm
3. Very high-waisted pants
4. Cropped shirts
5. A cowboy belt with my name stamped into it (but it was super cool in 1981)

Five Favorite Toys

1. The laptop
2. I don't have any other toys (unless you count bedroom toys and I don't have any favorites of those)

hehe I forgot - you are my Urban Cowboy twin! LOVE that movie and music.

I can just see you struttin' around in your cowboy belt with Jennifer on the back going to Gilley's to make you feel better. ;) Oh, I can't forget - you have to have a Lonestar in each hand.
Cute list!

Lisa said...

Amie Adams said...

Okay, I won't be able to stop singing Looking For Love for the rest of the day.

PS--Grease? Love that soundtrack too!

Heather said...

I forgot to say earlier that I think 25% of my high school went to SWMSU. I'm too much older than you for you to know anyone, but still sort of weird.

Thanks for playing. I have a hard time with my receipts too!

Mitch McDad said...

First time here, and all I have to say is that leg warmers are poised to make a big comeback so you better rethink your decision. :)

Kim said...

I'm not ashamed to admit that I also know all the words to Hit Me Baby One More Time.

You have so many bedroom toys that they're all your favorite or you're a prude and judge those of us who adore vibrating pieces of plastic?
I'm confused.
