I took this from Holly McCaig’s Blog and thought it might be a fun little distraction from work project.

What was I doing 5 years ago?
Kei and I had just moved to the US. I believe we may have been on a Hawaiian cruise in May – finishing up our 7 months of living there – are were about to embark on a 6 month long trip across the United States. We drove from LA to Ohio and then Ohio to Portland basically carrying all of our possessions in a small station wagon. In one year we went to Universal studios, Las Vegas, The Grand Canyon, Joshua Tree National Park, The Painted Desert, Memphis, a Chicago Cubs baseball game, Niagara Falls, Yellowstone National Park, Mount Rushmore, AND we visited the actual baseball field from the movie Field of dreams. Oh, we also saw a LOT of very flat, prairie country (South Dakota is a very big state when you are trying to drive accross it in one day). It was a big year.

Five things on my to-do list today ( or things I did today):

1. Work (ugh!)
2. Scrap
3. Check Blogs
4. Spend a little time with my family
5. Go to bed early (I have come down with a cold)

Five snacks i love:

1. Chocolate
2. Chocolate

Well that’s probably more than you ever wanted to know so there you have it. Let me know if you do you own “Five things” list so I can learn more about YOU.
