A Game of Tag

I was tagged by Sarah...


10 years ago:

It was 1998 & I was a senior at AHS...Go Eagles! I was dating Luke at the time & probably wondering what we were going to do when we both went to college. The big high school dating dilemma! Don't worry, we broke up a week before Prom - but we still went together. I have a feeling if he hadn't broken up with me a week before then he would have broken up with me the night of Prom - once he got sight of my sequin/beaded dress...what was I thinking? I think it would have been time for cheerleading try-outs & I was probably crying over my uniform...why did my cheer days have to end! I don't think I was going anywhere fun for Spring Break. I think I stayed home from our church ski trip so I could surprise Luke at his Chrysalis. In June, Jason's mom took us on one last hoorah to South Padre Island where I proceeded to eat LOTS of crab legs & bake in the sun! I had a fantastic group of friends that I still hold close to me today & I was so sad to leave them when I went off to Baylor!


Things on my to-do list today:

1. Mail our HOA dues.
2. Balance the check book in Quicken.
3. Buy milk & bottled water.
4. Workout.
5. Finish painting our room.
6. Start ALL my wedding albums.
7. Buy Ava a birthday gift.
8. Take my 100 calorie snacks to work.


What would I do if I suddenly became a Billionaire?

1. Pay off my student loans & my family's student loans.
2. Pay off any debt we have & our family has.
3. Buy a nice house...nothing too fancy!
4. Give lots of money to our Church, Susan G. Komen, American Congenital Heart Association & any other charities I love.
5. Set aside college money for our future children.
6. Hire Sarah Beth as my personal stylist.
7. Vacation, vacation, vacation with Tim, my family & my friends.
8. Quit my job & do something really fun - like publish these stories my mom wrote.


Three of my bad habits:

1. I am REALLY slow when I get ready...I honestly have no idea why. Therefore, I am almost always running behind - even though I hate being late. Don't blame me, I got it from my mom!
2. I pick my nails/nailpolish so I ruin almost every single manicure I get.
3. When I bake cookies I end up eating LOTS of cookie dough.


Five jobs I have had:

1. Tax Accountant for a natural gas pipeline company
2. Tax Accountant at PwC
3. Student worker for Texas Pension Consultants
4. Director for Kids of the Kingdom
5. Filer Girl/Phone Girl/Copier Girl for my Dad's Real Estate Company


Five things people don't know about me:

1. I have a subscription to Martha Stewart Living magazine. Rarely do I read all the articles, but I love looking at all her ideas. I used to have a subscription to her new magazine Blueprint & it was my favorite, but they just sent a notice that they are not printing any new issues!
2. I love real strawberries, but strawberry flavor gives me a headache. For example, I could eat a strawberry pie, but I cannot stand strawberry milk...or gum...or lollipops!
3. I LOVE peanut butter, but Tim is allergic to peanuts & he will not kiss me if I have been eating any food with peanuts. Sometimes I have to choose between my love for peanut butter & my love for kisses from Tim.
4. No one can surprise me...I always figure things out. I often think I should be a detective.
5. When I was little I stole a toy from the Bible Bookstore. I honestly did not think I was stealing, but my mom saw me playing with it in the car & I was in trouble. I had to bring it back to the store & apologize for stealing.

I tag Sarah Beth, Julie & Sunni.

Oh man!! That is a MAJOR bummer about the peanut butter! Wow. That was so much fun to read, Tiffani!

Sarah Beth said...

Oh you!!! I will hire myself for FREE!! And yes you did loser out of the ski trip to see Luke! That left Emili and me to be the overweight sickos!! I've got pics to prove it! Will you pay off my student loans too?? I knew all of those things about you sucker!! You should join the Houston police force as a detective!!! I will do this tag for sure!

Amanda said...

I didn't know that your mom wrote stories. How neat! I need to ask Sunni about those. Maybe you could publish them and raise money for your 3 day walk.

Natalie said...

Fun, fun, fun! I can picture your prom dress-except I'm picturing it with a toilet paper sash and you wearing a crown....remember?

How did I forget to mention that I worked at Kids of the Kingdom?! Those were the days...

I want a picture of that prom dress posted ASAP!

Kelly said...

This was really cute and interesting!!!!

Kristen said...

Oh my gosh! So you are the other person who reads Blueprint! I am in complete mourning. A part of me died when I got the little postcard that said it was over. Love your blog!

Sara S. said...

How exciting! I love that you must pick between Tim's kisses and your love of PB. I remember that I was supposed to go to Padre with your fun group (and Jason), and my parents wouldn't let me :(

tiff, just packed my yearbooks a few weeks ago when we moved and happened to read something you wrote from '98 (from jan kay, i think...first off, why did i have my yrbk with me at church camp? cool.)...at least we were sick-o's about 'related' things.

funny to think that you couldn't even imagine tim back then! xoxo
