More Information About Me Than you Probably Ever Wanted to Know
My older and much wiser friend Deb tagged me, so here it goes:

Five Things I was Doing 10 Years Ago:
1. Living the good ole’ High School life
2. Learning how to drive
3. Listening to
Mmm Bop by Hanson
4. 4th of July in NYC
5. that’s about it…I guess my life was kinda boring

Five Things on my To-do List Today:
1. Wrapping Christmas presents for my family
2. Go to the symphony with Mom, Dad, and JB
3. Coordinate delivering Christmas presents for the ‘adopted’ families
4. See Jessi’s new car!!
5. Vacuum (like that’s gonna get done)

Five Snacks I Enjoy:

1. Dried pineapple slices from Trader Joe’s.
2. ICE CREAM!
3. Wheat Thins and Cheese (
Tillamook, of course)
4. Granola Bars
5. Gum—does that count as a snack?

Five Things I would do if I were a Billionaire:
1. Buy a house in the West Hills and on Maui
2. Retire (and volunteer more)
3. Travel more
4. Establish a scholarship fund

5. Buy the Acres’ compound, tear it down, bring back the horses, and restore the beautiful view at my parent’s house

Five Bad Habits:
1. Biting my nails--I don’t think the last 2 months of not biting cures me. Once an addict, always an addict
2. Doodling during church
3. Talking too much--everywhere
4. Eating too many desserts
5. Analyzing things too much

Five Places I have Lived:
1. Mom and Dad’s House ( Corvallis)
2. Lincoln Ladies Apartment (Corvallis, Oregon)
3.
Børglum Kollegiet (Århus, Denmark)
4. Menlor Lane (Tigard, Oregon)
5. “the Dorms” (Portland, Oregon)

Five Jobs that I’ve had:
1. Owner of a berry ‘stand’ at the end of my driveway w/ Jess when we were kids. I think we made less than $20 the whole summer
2. Sterilization/clean up guru at Dad’s office
3. Teaching Assistant & Student athlete tutor. My most ‘famous’ (liberal use of the word) students were
Derek Anderson and Bill Swancutt
4. Auditor
5. SEC Compliance Manager (don’t ask, I still don’t know how to explain what it means).

Five Things you may not know about me:
1. I am slightly obsessive about my pencils—0.5 lead is all I will use. If a 0.7 pencil shows up on my desk I will throw it away. I’m not kidding.
2. I LOVE wrapping presents; when I was little I asked my mom if they had professional gift wrappers, because I wanted to be one.
3. I took piano lessons for 11 years--but I can’t really play anything other than Christmas music (all of which was cut to fit into my 45 second allotment for Nancy Johnson’s Christmas concerts)
4. I was born with a tooth
5. I used to read Trivial Pursuit cards to make me fall asleep.

Ooooooh, Diana, didn't know we had student athlete tutor in common. I, however, never once had a student show up. Very irritating.
