my fives

November 13th, 2008 / 1 Comment » / by S. Elie

15 days of marketing has been keeping me very busy this past couple of weeks. I’ve been trying to complete all the homework assignments, process orders for my store and write my regular blogs.

Oh and take care of the kids, work, clean, and on and on.

So my apologizes for taking so long to respond to your tag, Janine @ Two fer the Price of One. In fact I have dismissed the pile of clothes sitting on the couch that need to be folded just to get this done. They aren’t going anywhere – trust me. So here are my fives.

1. Graduating from college
2. Looking for a job, so I wouldn’t have to move back to Sacramento
3. Trying to figure out what I wanted to be
4. Trying to command my independence
5. I was living in Long Beach, CA.

Five Things On My To Do List
1. Completing this tagged blog post
2. Writing my to do list

My TwitterMoms friends have started a game of Twitter-Tag! cgccoach tagged me (bizziemommy) and I’m it! So here we go…

I just updated my bio page last week, which suck I could have used two of the things on there.

  1. I saved my family from a bomb attack. We lived in Spain when I was little, yes a military brat. We were heading to dinner one evening and I begged for Chinese instead of BBQ. The next day we found out the BBQ restaurant had been bombed killing a few people and injury a bunch more. A couple of my teachers were actually at the restaurant and sustained injuries.
  2. I attended Howard University for a semester, but was too home sick to stay so I moved to Long Beach which was just 6 hours away from home.
  3. When my husband proposed to me I was at work, wearing the worst outfit and having the worst hair day imaginable. I threw the clothes out the next day vowing never to dress that bad again. It was bad, you can even ask him.
  4. When my husband and I met I thought he was a freshman in college, I was a junior so I didn’t talk to him for weeks.
  5. My son still sleeps in our bed and I don’t care, because I love getting some extra cuddle time.
  6. Before starting high school my family moved to a small new community with no cable TV barely any broadcast television. Luckily one other person moved there from my old school at the same time. We spent the entire summer riding our bikes and dare I say playing with Barbies – yes we were that bored.

So now its my turn to pick six more.

  • mybrownbaby
  • BabyFriendlyLA
  • savvymoms
  • babytimebags
  • geekycybermom
  • EcoMomma

Now, if you’ve been tagged with the meme game from twitter, you must post 6 things no one knows about you on your BLOG. Then you have to tag 6 more people. (don’t forget to let them know they’ve been tagged.) Leave me a message letting me know that you’ve accepted the tag. Let me know when you’ve posted your list and make sure there’s a link back to my BLOG. Have fun!!! Leave me a comment accepting the tag along with your BLOG so I can add a link.

It was just this morning; my husband and I were talking about when we were going to start running again. And with a grunt

Me: Running, I don’t have time?

Hubby: But we should start back up

And so on and so on.

Then I get into the office and stumble on this article from the New York Times.
