Get to Know Kate!

My sister tagged me in her last post to fill out the following survey...so here it goes!

10 Years Ago:

I was 15 years old, a freshman in high school. At that time, the freshman class occupied the upper level of Cityside Middle School, so we got to rule the school one more time before we had to face all the upperclassmen. I was a cheerleader for the freshman basketball team and hung around with Katie and Miranda constantly, we were pretty inseparable. We called ourselves the Thrilling Three-O. As my sister can attest to, our idea of fun was loading up on Mountain Dew and Pixie Stix and making silly home videos. My favorite is still the Spice Girls Wannabe music video featuring Scary Spice (Katie), Sporty Spice (Miranda) and Baby Spice (me). I'm still waiting for those videos to come back and haunt me one of these days.

Things on my to-do list today:
  1. Get an oil change
  2. Go to the gym
  3. Make mashed potato casserole
  4. Visit the funeral home for Gary's friend Brad's mother-in-law
  5. Drink some green beer in celebration of St. Patty's Day!

Three Bad Habits:
  1. Biting my nails when I'm nervous or stressed out. I'm stopped for the moment, my nails are actually pretty long right now! The habit is bound to return sooner or later, I'm sure.
  2. This is kinda gross - but most of you know I'm quite the belcher! Such a lady...I know...
  3. I also have a bad habit of not being the tidiest person and I'm also a bit of a pack rat...I have a hard time throwing stuff away, especially clothes and shoes that I KNOW I won't wear again.

If I suddenly became a billionaire:

I'd quit my job for sure, and open my own stationary/custom printing shop. I'd also make my mom quit her job and recruit her to be my partner! I would also help my dad open up his own Tae Kwon Doe Studio because I know that's one thing he is incredibly passionate about, I'd buy my sister's house so she didn't have to worry about it any more, I'd set up a college fund for both my nephews, I'd take an extra long vacation, traveling to every corner of the earth and I'd buy a house (or two, or three) somewhere warm so my family could come visit during the frigid Michigan winters!

Five Jobs I've had:
  1. Dairy Y
  2. American Eagle
  3. Express
  4. The Buckle
  5. Crown Motors

Five things people don't know about me:
  1. I color code my closet - from dark to light and also by season!
  2. I love to bake, but hate to cook.
  3. I cry at EVERYTHING (thanks mom) - books, movies, commercials, sporting events, I even cried reading my sister's last post!
  4. I'm an out-of-control perfectionist! I'm trying to convince Gary to buy another set of silverware (we already have settings for 12) because I can't stand the thought of using mismatched silverware if we have more than 12 people over for dinner!
  5. I am a total scaredy cat! I hate scary movies, I don't like to be home alone, I used to run up the basement stairs at my parents house afraid of what might be behind me and I absolutely refuse to go on the Countdown to Extinction ride at Disney's Animal Kingdom! Those dinosaurs scare the CRAP out of me!!!!

My turn to tag! I'll tag Mrs. Julie Simon!
