I've been tagged by Debbie Hodge!

Debbie has taught several on-line classes that I have taken. She is very generous in her time & her class materials. I love that she always makes comments on my layouts & finds great things to say. She has two sons and lives in New Hampshire. I love that her New England life is so different than my South Carolina life - but that we both have boys & that life is as much the same as it is different. Thanks for tagging me Debbie & here are my answers:

Ten years ago I was a 31-year-old mom of two, including a six-month old charmer nicknamed

cryin' Ryan and a ready-for-kindergarten 4-year-old! We lived in Maple Valley, Washington & I was teaching tole painting at the Renton Community Center. Scott & I were getting ready to celebrate our 10-year anniversary!

Five things on today's "to do list"
1) get a pedicure so I will be ready for my nephew's wedding reception on Saturday in Jacksonville (not a frequent event, just a necessary evil with strappy sandals)

2) make banana chocolate-chip muffins, blueberry muffins, & sour-cream coffee cake muffins for Saturday morning breakfast at my sister-in-laws (she has lots of guests & a reception to decorate for)

3) deposit checks in bank from the boys' super activity to West Virginia white water rafting & bike riding

4) print out assignments for independent study class that MUST be finished by August 1st. (No more extensions available!!!)

5) make a packing list & do laundry from our trip tomorrow (if I do it too far ahead of time...?)

I enjoy my family, keeping in touch with old friends, and travel. Scrapbooking is pretty fun when the desk is clean enough to get to it.

I have lived in Utah, Washington, & South Carolina. I have a great husband, fun kids, and a great life.

I tag Alisa, my sister Jennifer, my sister Julie Liz, Mary, and Rebecca.

P.S. It's now tomorrow & my computer has been cursed with the blue screen & I am running in Safe Mode with Networking. I got the pedicure done & will now do #2-5 + buy stock for Scott tomorrow!

P.P.S. I watched "Dan in Real Life" & really enjoyed it... even though I had to watch it in 25" increments between banana-muffin batches.
