i'm it

Bubba's Sis tagged me. Here goes...

What were you doing 10 years ago?
June '97. I was living in College Station for the first time during the summer. I took a few classes and worked at TJ Maxx. I was about to start my Junior year. I was living with my regular roommate's boyfriend while his regular roommate was in Waco. I had just had a romantic, TV-type, stairwell moment with one of my friends as the semester was ending and had no idea what to expect once the fall came. I should have had really low expectations.

What were you doing 1 year ago?
June '06. I was finishing up my time (my sentence?) at my last job, about to take a week off before starting this one. Was living with my brother.

Five snacks I enjoy:
1. Alouette and crackers
2. Cheese
3. Jerky
4. Ballpark peanuts
5. Leftovers

Five songs that I know all the lyrics:
I know way too many song lyrics. Seriously, if useful information were conveyed through music, I'd be the smartest person around. Here are a few that are either currently on the radio or are near the top of my iPod song list.
1. 1999--Prince
2. Home--Daughtry
3. A Bad Goodbye--Clint Black and Wynonna
4. A Long December--Counting Crows
5. A Pirate Looking at Forty--Jimmy Buffett

Five things I would do if I were a millionaire:
1. Finish every house project and perhaps even pay people to help.
2. Pay off my mortgage and student loans.
3. Pay off my brother's mortgage.
4. Take a sabbatical to travel for leisure and then maybe only work part-time.
5. Buy Astros season tickets.

Five bad habits:
1. Procrastinating
2. Comparing myself to others
3. Trying to do everything on my own
4. Starting the next project before finishing the last one
5. Making snap judgments

Five things I like doing:
1. Working on the house
2. Going to the ballpark
3. Taking advantage of all the city has to offer
4. Traveling
5. Reading

Five things I would never wear again:
1. Bedazzled white knee-high boots
2. Wings (a la Farrah Faucett)
3. "Poodle curls" (also re: my hair)
4. Pants with pleats
5. Jellies (yeah, I had these)

Five favorite toys:
1. iPod
2. Board games
3. My car
4. The DVR
5. Hula hoop

I don't think I'll tag anyone in return. If you feel compelled to answer these questions as well, you can just say I tagged you. Deal?

Great answers! I concur on many of them. And oh - I had those jellies, too!! Those exact ones! Was it just me, or did they make your feet sweaty??

Okay, I think Crocs should count as jellies. I don't understand them. And I don't feel like they should be for anything more than gardening, i.e., stop wearing them to work. Of course, this spoken from the woman who has worn flip-fops to work almost daily for the last three weeks. But I have an excuse.

Jellies were bad. Of course they make your feet sweaty. They're plastic! Who ever thought that was a good idea?! If I had them now I'd probably fall down right inside of them. Crocs are terrible, too. I don't like seeing them ever. Over the weekend, however, I saw some that were made to look tie-dyed and some that had decorative painting on top. Mmmmhmmm.

hey, would you like to see the nursery?

After a very productive week/weekend, the nursery is just about done. I think the only thing I want to do is whip up a simple padded headboard and Hubby needs to trim down the legs on a little footstool. That's it! Finally! So without further ado... This is what you see when you walk in the door. Too bad the baby won't be able to appreciate it right away. (And I'll apologize right off the bat for having some wonky-colored photographs in this post. I just don't have the energy to fix things. At least on my monitor, the above pic is roughly true-to-life.) Would you like to see that awesome rug a little better? Man, I love it. It was the one splurge for the room but it has such great colors, fun animals and designs, and is round. All my criteria were met. Love. Here's the corner with the crib. I wanted a clean, simple, modern, white crib. I hate to admit it but we ordered it from Wal-Mart. Hey, at least we didn't have to enter an actual store to get it. It was ine
