You can blame JenKneeBee for this one. Although, I love tags like this. So sue me.
What were you doing 10 years ago?
Um...I was almost married a full year. I was probably just wasting a lot of money on other people and working. Doing musical theater in Boston, too, I believe.
What were you doing 5 years ago?
I was loving having a beautiful little 2 yr old. And working too much. Seriously, look at that face! I was having so much freaking fun with that kid. What a punk. Just like his mother.
What were you doing 1 year ago?
Enjoying my first year in Texas. And wondering if I had wrecked my marriage by moving my family all the way down here. Funny how it wasn't THAT that did it.
What are 5 snacks you enjoy?
Only five? Have you seen my weight?
- Most cereals.
- Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies.
- Pop corn.
- Blue corn chips & salsa.
- Almost any cookie invented.
What are 5 songs that you know the lyrics to by heart?
Oh goodness...do I know the real lyrics to anything? I tend to make them up when I don't know them. Even my own songs.
- Amazing Grace - John Newton
- It Is Well - Horatio Spafford
- Chuck E's In Love - Rickie Lee Jones
- Almost any song on Journey's 'Escape' album.
- Let It Rise - Big Daddy Weave
What are 5 things you would do if you were a millionaire?
Millionaire? Uh...buy half a house in California? Let's say multimillionaire. Then you can do some REAL spending.
- Pay for air conditioning for the Cambridge Vineyard (if they don't have it by then).
- Donate a huge chunk of it to my own church.
- Start a trust fund that will pay for people to spay/neuter their pets.
- Open a bed & breakfast that has a kick-ass restaurant that people come to even if they don't want to stay in the B&B. And it would have a theater in the restaurant. Think of the Vermont inn they go to in 'White Christmas' - that's what I want!
- Buy every sibling and parent I have (and I have 10 sibs and 2 sets of parents) their houses and at least one car & set up a college fund for every niece & nephew - and I have like 752 of them. Well...ok...only (hold on while I take off my shoes to count...) sixteen...no...seventeen. If I do this one first, I will have about $3 left for me.
What are 5 bad habits?
Oh I won't tell you the really bad ones. Those are for me to know and not to share. But I'll confess a few safe ones.
- Being lazy. If I could get away with it, I'd only do fun things for the rest of my life.
- Staying up way too late on the computer and then wondering why I'm so tired the whole next day.
- Thinking very judgmental thoughts in all sorts of situations. But God tends to smack me upside the head when I do. I mean, that's how I became friends with Trish! I judged. God plopped her square in the middle of my life.
- Giving in to the lure of evil food.
- Obsessing over and staying with very stupid men. But that habit is OVAH.
What are 5 things you like doing?
- Hanging with my boys. They are insanely fun!
- Singing. Especially at church.
- Cooking for people. I love making huge dinners for friends.
- Watching TV.
- Blogging.
What are 5 things you would never wear again?
- Insanely high heels.
- Panty hose.
- Pretty much anything I wore in the early 80's.
- Boy-short hair. It worked in my 20's. It won't work in my 40's.
- The combination of a sports bra, a vest, boot-cut jeans & cowboy boots. That only worked in 1992.
What are 5 favorite toys?
- Sudoku puzzle books.
- Computer.
- TV.
- MP3 player.
- My Honda CR-V. I love driving.
Who are you going to tag?
Oh goodness. Whoever wants to share superfluous trivia about themselves. Let's have it, ladies!!

Somehow, I ended up in your "bad habits" column?!?! I'm going to take that as a compliment. At least I'm not in the "things I'll never wear/people I'll never dress like" column, which is where you would have put me a few years ago :)
And I'm delighted to report that the Vineyard now has air conditioning (can you say HALLELUJAH?), so after you pay for all those pets to be neutered, you'll have $$$ left over for a new CRV!
this reminds me how much I miss 1992
Well clearly I've timed my arrival perfectly.
Best wishes
Okay- if you open up an inn like in White Christmas, I would totally try to live there. That is one of my all-time favorite movies. I can't sing or dance, but I could answer the phone and spy on people's conversations. I'm just saying. If you do ever this, give me a shout!
Oh, and I love your hair color!
Oh this was great Lynette! Loved all your answers. I did this tag some time ago...and it was really fun!
ha! i don't think you should swear off your 1992 outfit. sounds like way too much fun to wear :)
Thanks so much for commenting on my blog! I love reading yours. I often go from Trish's page to yours. We used to go the Cambridge Vineyard, too. We're in D.C. now and miss it terribly.
Thanks again:)
What a fun tag! You are really good at these! I always enjoy reading yours.
I love Journey!
*is now very curious about how you became friends with Trish*
I'm with you on the boy-short hair. I cut my hair off my senior year of college. I never knew I disliked so many things about my looks until my hair no longer distracted from my face.
Lynette,
I'm really going to have to come back to this one after work. I loved your post. Lists are so much fun. Can I come and open that B&B with you??!
I think I just may have to take on this challenge.
Happy Wednesday!!
Ummm . .. those enchiladas looked really yum. Make me some next time I'm down??
So why would you pay for people's pets to be spayed/neutered??? Seems a very original choice!!
Trish - you are SO not the bad column item.
Sarakastic - this reminds me how much I miss my 0% body-fat of 1992.
McEwan - welcome!
Beth - my nosey housekeeper! YEAH!
Wanda - thanks. I remember yours.
JenKneeBee - it was fun at the time. But not with my 41 yr old body. EEWWW!
Em - there's not another church quite like the Cambridge Vineyard. As much as I love mine - the Cambridge Vineyard stands alone, in my mind.
Angela - Steve Perry is a vocal god.
Stacy - your curiosity resulted in my 952,000 word essay about Trish. Glad you liked it.
Jane - I would LOVE to do that B&B with you. I'll email when I hit the lottery.
Kendra - If I make the enchiladas now, will you drive down?
Ellesappelle - Don't know about your country. But around here, there are WAY too many people who don't spay/neuter their pets. And we have tons of homeless or feral pet-quality animals because of it.
