Pass It On

Mira made me...;)

10 Years Ago I Was...
In between my 3rd and 4th year of college. That year I came home to live with my parents for the summer (and I swore to never, ever live at home again after that! ha!). I had just started dating Dave, and I remember being sooooo into him. I was so gaga it was disgusting- my daughters better never act like that. I also took summer classes at the University of Memphis and worked as a lifeguard.

5 Years Ago I Was...
Living in New Orleans. Dave and I were still dating. I had received my Master's Degree in counseling and was working my first post grad job helping families that had children with disabilities. Even with my new degree, though, I still felt that I was supposed to be a physical therapist. I would talk about it with my co-workers all of the time. They still remember me trying to decide what to do.
I was also playing lots and lots of soccer. I would run for fitness, but I never even entered a 5k in New Orleans, much less a triathlon.

1 Year Ago I Was...
Having a really hard time in PT school. I did not enjoy going back to school full-time (and I still don't enjoy it). I was finding outlets like running the road race series and entering triathlons to help bring some happiness and fun into my life. Oh, and Gina and I were embarking on our Chicago marathon training plan. That was fun!


5 Things On My To Do List Today
1. Go to the grocery store
2. Email Laura and Lisa
3. Order my wedding pictures from 3 years ago (I still don't have a wedding album)
4. Send out thank you cards and get well cards that I have been meaning to put in the mail
5. Call Sister Trudy, my grade school principal to say hi after 16 years

5 Snacks I Enjoy
Do I really have to answer this? Let's just say I snack all day long. Seriously. I don't count how many snacks I have in a day- it could easily be 10. And no, they are not all healthy. Everyone knows that I eat like crap.

If I Were A Billionaire I Would...
Follow the Dave Ramsey plan and be debt free- along with making my family members debt free too. Then I would buy all of the wedding presents that I have been meaning to buy friends. I would follow this up with buying a lot of beautiful land somewhere so I could have my farm. I would travel everywhere around the world- but it doesn't need to be first class. I would save, and save, and save while thinking of something very special and helpful to do with my money.

6 People I Want To Have Lunch With Tomorrow
1. My granny, if she were still alive
2. Fernando Torres (see the below post)- and I would ask him to bring Zidane (not that the Spaniard is friends with the Frenchman, but I could ask).
3. Christy Bohannon- I sure do miss her. We haven't had lunch in forever.
4. Any of my friends from New Orleans that I had to leave behind after Katrina.
5. Deena Kastor, Paula Radcliffe, and Kara Goucher
6. ??? Is there anyone that wants to have lunch with me???
