By Golly Miss Molly

1. What I was doing ten years ago...
Hmmm... Ten years ago would have made me 13! Haha... those beautiful awkward Jr. High years! Back then, I wasn't sure how to do my hair... probably slicked it back into some pony tail with my scraggly natural curls flopping down, somewhat frizzing out. I also remember my bright teal shorts that came just above my knees (that my grandpa J. thought were wayyy too short). I also remember making a bet with my friend, good ol' Melissa Nay who lived just up the street, who would be the first out of both of us to get kissed or get a boyfriend. I'm not sure if that was the summer that Merissa and I decided we were really good bakers and set out to make up our own recipe of banana bread... we named it "Banamana Loaf". Yummy. It only took 4 hours to bake at 350 degrees. Our parents pretended to enjoy it. :)

2. Five things to do today...
Well, my day is about over, but five things I DID today... I gave Peeve her ear medicine (that's always lots of fun), I vacuumed my house, loaded the dishwasher, washed my car, and exercised at the gym.

3. What snacks do I enjoy...
Green grapes (tart, a bit bitter with just a touch of sweetness), raisins (Jen, do you like raisins??), cheesy crackers, I usually love chocolate or ice cream, and I tend to lean toward yogurts and cheeses and stuff like that as well. Can you say "calcium-deprived pregnant woman?" I crave dairy products.

4. What would I do if I suddenly became a billionaire...
Andy and I would travel A LOT!! We would probably go on every cruise, go to every tourist attraction available. I know Andy would want to invest a lot of the money. I would also want to donate a lot of money to the muscular dystrophy foundation, and would probably give a lot of the money to hospitals and children's cancer centers. I would definitely want a building or a street named after me... maybe a skyscraper (haha Merissa). I would also give money to my siblings, children, parents, and maybe if my friends were nice, I'd take them out to lunch once in a while. Somewhere classy... like McDonalds. Andy and I would live close to family, and heck, he could probably purchase part of Chevron, so we could live and he could work wherever we wanted.

5. 3 bad habits...
Why is this question on here? Alright.
*I tend to obsess over cats and kittens... even though I finally have one, I want more. Andy and I have even thought of future names for them, and I always dream about them.
*I leave my makeup out on the counter sometimes.
*I love to tease people, and make smart comments (I've known Andy too long).

6. 5 things people don't know about me... (or do they??)
Well, if we're counting Merissa, I'm sure she could fill all of you in on stuff I don't even know about myself. She tends to have an impeccable memory that is actually quite annoying.
*I giggle in my sleep... quite often.
*I was first attendant in the Ms. Gunnison pageant when I was 17. (but according to Aunt Veola I WAS Miss Gunnison)
*I love wearing colored socks, even mismatching ones sometimes.
*I love cake batter ice cream at Cold Stone with the birthday cake mix-ins.
*Most of my female cats have had male names, mostly thanks to Adam and I... such as Cowboy and Gordon.

7. Just kidding, there's no #7. You're probably dying reading as much as you have. Anyway, I'm going to tag Merissa and Rach. I want to see what you have to say. Try to make some of it embarrassing, so that it's juicy to read! ;) Love you guys.

Gin,
Nice to read your little blog. I still feel sad that Gordon died. I remember the Bananamanna loaf and just how terrible it was. Manna fell from Heaven, I don't want to say where Bananamanna fell from.

Wow, cuz, it was fun to read about you! I can hear your sense of humor seeping through. You are a good teaser. All you Jensen cousins are good for a laugh.

It sounds like you had a nice day today! Are you done with school for now? Or did you just not include that you had to do homework? I think I'm behind on what you're up to right now (besides growin' a baby).

No offence, but most of the time your little recepts were kind of gross, but as a good friend I supported you and always will. I expecially loved the wonderful drink you made me and made me drink it blindfolded. WOW! that was a killer, and I'm not even sure you can call it a drink. HA HA the good times! I'm sure you are a much better cook now.

See it wasn't so bad! I love that you name your girl cats boy names. That is classic. I am proud of you for getting in done so fast. The tag took me a couple of days to even think about getting started.

Malinda said...

Thanks to Merissa's comment! I'm sure you loved that drink. You giggled through the whole thing.
Gin, thanks for the comment. I actually think I just threw those bears away last year. I hung on to them for the lonest time because they made me laugh. I should have kept them and given them to you for your wedding, remember mine were wedding bears. the girl had a vail and the boy was wearing a bowtie. Ahhhh cute I know. Love ya and I can't wait to see you in two weeks!!!

Hey little mama. It's adorable that you giggle in your sleep. :)

And it's cool that you would donate to the muscular dystrophy foundation. <3
