I got tagged so here it is:

10 years ago (Jan 1998):
I can't remember what I did last week, let alone what I did ten years ago! But I'll do my best. I was living in Grants Pass, Oregon (with my parents!) and engaged to be married (to Dan). I was working as a production artist at an advertising agency.

5 things on my to-do list today:
1) pick Ethan up from Yochien
2) set up a play date with his friend Tom
3) do laundry and vacuum my messy floors!
4) Homeschool
5) read

Snacks I enjoy:
1) Chocolate anything
2) Crisp sweet apple slices
3) Trail mix (with Chocolate)
4) Sushi
5) Coconut mochi

Things I would do if I were a billionaire:
1) Give a kick back to the Lord
2) pay off our debt
3) Set up a college fund for my relatives in Vietnam~similar to the perpetual education fund.
4) Mara had a great idea that I would like to do: invest in programs like the Gates Foundation that places aid where it is needed and that requires positive progress from those who have received the aid.
5) Take a needed vacation!

3 of my bad habits
1) Procrastination
2) yelling (when my boys ignore me)
3) abhorrence to washing dishes

5 places I have lived
1) Grants Pass, Oregon
2) Provo, UT
3) Ithaca, NY
4) New York City, NY
5) Tokyo, Japan

5 jobs I have had:
1) Clock maker
2) Sales associate at a fabric store
3) Production Artist
4) Freelance Production Artist
5) Maid service for the West household

5 things people don't know about me:
1) I love reading biographies, especially those who have endured war experiences.
2) I keep a log of my (night-time) dreams
3) I'm really silly when I'm at home~I clown around with my kids, dance and sing silly songs
4) I love eighties music--Duran Duran rocks!
5) (gulp) Like my friend Mara, I read up on celebrity gossip too (occasionally).

I tag Hannah, Chelon, Becky and Felicia.
