So I was tagged by my cute friend Christine.
10 Years Ago: I was a senior at Red Bank High School and doing a mentorship at The Chattanooga Times (or Free Press? - can't remember) in their photojournalism department. (This is back when I thought it would be cool to work for The National Geographic and go off to exotic places like Singapore and shoot photos of barefoot children next to bright blue walls. Actually, I still think that would be cool.) I had shorter hair that was entirely too poofy from those ginormous velcro rollers and I cared too much about what other people thought.
5 Things on my to-do list today:
- take a shower
- feed some children
- change a diaper
- clorox wipe the boys' toilet seat
- fold laundry--or wait for Bruce to do it
What would you do if you were suddenly a billionaire?
I would first buy the complete Athleta sueded tactel series. Maybe fix that dent on the back bumper of our Pathfinder. And then maybe buy one house in Hawaii for Bruce and a cabin in the mountains somewhere for me. I would also hire a cook, a housekeeper and a full-time potty training specialist whose services included cleaning poop off the carpet.
3 of my bad habits:
- falling asleep with my contacts in
- not folding laundry
- Internet
5 places I have lived:
- hotel
- apartment
- condo/townhome
- single ranch style family home
- a small space under the basement stairs where my parents kept the trash
5 jobs I have had:
- dog walker
- waitress
- research assistant
- communications specialist
- group fitness instructor
5 Things people don't know about me:
- I hate movies with talking animals.
- The sound of silverware clanking together gives me goosebumps and makes my teeth hurt.
- I get itchy when I'm nervous or stressed.
- I once ran away from home when I was 9. I got as far as the forest of trees next to our neighborhood and was away as long as it took me to eat the peanut butter and jelly sandwich I had packed.
- I used to hang out with a guy named Jared who had a glass eye. He was nice, we'd go climbing a lot, and he really liked me, but I was really hot for his friend Stephen. And you know, I never really got around to finding out how he got that glass eye. Guess we'll never know...
And now I tag whoever hasn't been tagged yet... Betsy? Sidney? Melissa? Dana? Ceri? Yeah, I don't know who hasn't. But you know who you are.

I can't believe you ran away from home! How could that be? I remember hiding in my room and thinking no one would ever come to look for me...but then dinner came...and they came looking/yelling!
I would like to add that Noelle was Miss Red Bank High School! When were you a dog walker?
I've always known you hated the silverware on teeth thing...is that why your kids use plastic utensils?
I too planned to run away when I got in trouble for painting the garage purple(did I mention we were renting the house?) Anyways, it rained the night of my planned escape and I guess I forgot about it. But the cardboard box I was going to live in was going to be fancy!
ohhhh. thanks for sharing that little tidbit of info, melissa... honestly!
and i BET you're cardboard box would've been fancy... haha.
