I tagged myself. Is that lame? I figure, that while you were all tagging each other, I was missing out on all of the fun. So...I am pretending like you would have thought to tag me had I had this blog.
10 years ago: I was anxiously awaiting the day when I would turn 14 so that I could go to my first Church Dance! So, I'm pretty sure I was in my family room, watching the *NSYNC music videos so that I could woo my fellow church-dance-goers once I hit the dance floor. Also, I was 13 year old. Which meant I was an 8th grader. Which meant I was the TinMan in our "Speech and Drama" class for our school's production of "Wizard of Oz". Honestly? I know.
5 things on my to-do list today:
1. "work" for four more hours before it's the weekend
2. call Papa Murphy's and order a specialty pizza so that I don't have to make dinner on a Friday night
3. spend the evening with my husband, Brandon. Formerly known as "B"
4. finish this can of TreeTop Apple juice before it gets warm.
5. go to sleep. Yes, it's a to-do...because it is something that I LOVE to do.
I enjoy: cuddling with my husband on our love-seat (more like trying to keep each other on the couch without falling off), American Idol, chocolate, my family, my in-laws, cute nieces and nephews, funny jokes, lame jokes that only I think are funny, singing, dancing, skiing, listening to Brandon play and sing songs on our Clavinova, playing songs that I try to make up on our Clavinova, making new friends, keeping the old, exercising, Body Pump class, my new Ipod, Brandon's Abercrombie jeans, my cute jeans that make my "back-end" look soooo fine, :-), inspirational quotes, scriptures, General Conference, EFY music (and no, I'm NOT ashamed to admit that. Just get into my car and you'll see), stalking friends' blogs, blogging
What would I do if I were suddenly made a billionaire: Definitely pay our way through medical school, definitely quit work, buy all of the fancy ingredients for the fancy recipes that I want to make but they're too "fancy", buy a bigger couch (refer to previous question), give our families the money they need so they can pay off their couches too :-), be a contestant on "Deal or No Deal" just so that if I end up going home without anything I will just look Howie Mandell in the face and say, "I have a BILLION dollars, sucka!"
3 of my bad habits:
1. being emotional to my husband
2. chewing ice
3. eating chocolate
5 places I have lived:
1. Belgrade, Montana
2. Arvada, CO
3. Provo, UT
4. Lehi, UT
5. Sandy, UT
5 jobs that I have had:
1. I'm not quite sure what my title was, but I'm pretty sure all I did was file client folders at Arvada Vision Clinic. And...I got paid $5.10 for it. Don't worry, I quit when I realized they were abusing my amazing talents.
2. I was a temp for ADECCO. And, seriously, the coolest thing I did was work for a Cremation Society. They offered "cremation insurance" for people who were still living, but wanted to be cremated when they died. Mainly, I spent my days answering the phones telling these people they were creepy for calling such a place.
3. EFY Counselor, Building Counselor, Coordinator. In no particular order. I was an EFY-junkie at a teenager, and my life-long dream was to be an EFY counselor. Well, they didn't hire me the first year (I'd like to think it was because I didn't wear a jean skirt to the interview), but boy were they SORRY when they hired me the next year!
4. "Get Motivated" Manager- pretty much, I traveled around to different states and pretended like I knew what I was doing. Apparently, it worked for awhile.
5. HeadStart teacher- I got paid to play with little 4 year olds all day long. So...I have thousands of stories about what cute little kids say. One for the record: We were counting to five in Spanish, and this little boy said, "Uno, Dos, Tres, Quatro.................Five-toe?" hahaha. Love it.
5 things people don't know about me:
1. I had a secret club at Bubble Pond Park when I was 8. And, you probably never knew that it all took place on some disgusting couch that somebody decided to dispose of into the creek. In retrospect, I am sure glad that I didn't have bacteria and pesticides on my radar.
2. I have a bald spot on the top of my head, and it grows teeny little white hairs out of it. Now I'm starting to wonder if that came from the couch.
3. I shaved my arms when I was 16, and then stopped shaving them for five years. Gross, I know. But, luckily my wonderful husband (boyfriend at the time) secretly told me in a round-about way, that my arms were "hairy" (to say the least). So, I continue to shave. From now until forever.
4. My family had a nickname when I was growing up. It was "Nerdy". And, I think the only reason why they named me that was because they knew I would grow up to be the coolest one in the family. I love reverse psychology.
5. My long-time friend, Chelsey and I don't eat sugar in February. And we have been doing that since we were 16. Except, now our rules are getting more laxed....I can't wait to see what we come up with when we're 60!
And...I tag Kaime. Because she needs it. :-)

Hey Erica! you, your blog, and your survey are so cute! I love it. I'm going to blog-stalk you now, if you don't mind. :)
not only are you the coolest kid in your family, you were the coolest kid in provo.
I found Erica's blog. You're a funny lady.
I've never been happier to be found or blogstalked. It was only a matter of time until I blogstalked my way into you. I am glad you found me first though. Kim has a blog too, hers is private. I tell her to invite you. I'm not sure what she has to be so secret about but I don't ask questions!
Um so I'm glad that there is someone else that has a funny blog...although I'm starting to worry about the competition...You rock girl! I wish sometimes that Peter wasn't there on BBQ days so we could hang out...don't show him this please--it'll mean trouble at the homestead!
Erica! So I kept checking my blog for comments and was so disappointed that I didn't have any until I got on today and realized I have to "moderate" them on my dashboard before they show up on my actual blog - how is that for a blogger newbie? I am so glad that you found my blog which inspired me to find yours...finally... through Trish, who I finally found from Facebook, now THAT sounds stalkerish...
