All about...Me!

Here is a fun little survey to do so we all can get to know each other better. I encourage you all to do one and put it on your blogs.

10 years ago: I was a junior at La Canada High School, go Spartans! I think junior year was my favorite year of high school. I was involved in everything and had to be everywhere! I was a madrigal, in ASB (student government), various clubs, school musicals, etc. I had a great senior boyfriend and wonderful friends. High school was a lot of fun, but I was sure ready for college a few months into my senior year.

5 things on my to-do list today:

1. Gym, check. I’ve been hitting up the 6 am spin classes lately. Yes, it sucks getting up so early, but I am too tired to go after work, so I’ve been going before.

2. Faculty meeting after school.

3. Young Woman’s board meeting.

4. Make a “real” dinner tonight!

5. Watch Lost. It is finally back. =)

5 Foods I enjoy:

1. My favorite candy is chocolate-covered-gummy bears. They are delicious.

2. Favorite fast food is In-and-Out burgers animal style. I am not so much of a fan of their fries though. I love how they have fresh lemons for the diet coke!

3. Baby carrots with garlic egg plant hummus from Trader Joes. Try it, it is amazing.

4. Steak is also one of my favorites.

5. Indian food (nann bread and chicken makakna).

What I would do if I were suddenly made a billionaire: How cool would it be to own your house free and clear? I would totally do that, but probably buy a better one first, though! I would also buy my dream car, a Range Rover. Then go on a cruise to the Greek Islands. I would want to start some type of non-profit organization dealing with kids and poverty in 3rd world countries, too.

5 places I have lived:

1. Born in Oregon and raised in Washington, Arizona and California.

2. Rexburg, Idaho and Provo, Utah for college.

3. Cuenca, Ecuador (orphanage volunteer work).

4. Auckland, New Zealand (study abroad).

5. Fairfield, CA

5 jobs that I have had:

1. Jane’s Cakes and Chocolates (first real job in HS)

2. Valley Hunt Club (county club working at the kids club and snack bar)

3. What a Tan, Tanning salon

4. Nanny

5. High school special ed teacher at Payson High and Armijo High.

Favorite T.V. Shows:

1. Party of Five (in high school)

2. 90210 Re-runs in college

3. Arrested Development (funniest show ever written)

4.The office

5. Lost

Most beatiful place I've ever been: This one is hard! I think I have to do at least two. The most beautiful beach I've ever been to is hands-down Fiji. Switzerland (Alps) is the most beautiful country and mountains I've ever been to. I highly suggest both places to see before you die.

5 Things people don't know about me:

1. I love the smell of fresh laundry. It is probably my favorite smell.

2. I think I have developed an OCD about little noises, tapping, clicking, etc. When my students do it, it drives me CRAZY!

3. I love Oprah, I think she is great.

4. Love to read. Hated to when I was a kid, but learned to love it once I started reading things I was interested in. I read aloud to my students everyday hoping it will catch on.

5. I could wander in TJ Maxx for hours. I love looking at every little thing.

You are little miss world traveler. I used to think that I'd seen a lot of the world until I read all the fun places you've been too! I definitely need to go to Fiji and I agree that Switzerland is Beautiful!
