My First "Tag" Meme.
I have been tagged! Yes, there is such a thing as "Tag" in the blogging world. The whole "Tag, you're it!" thing really excites me, I must warn you. I suppose it will get old in time ... but for now ... because I am fairly new to blogging ... I have been looking forward to this.

My new friend, Paula, of On A Rainy Night tagged me with the following Meme. I needed to find 5 answers to the following categories... So, here goes:

~~~ 5 THINGS MEME ~~~

5 THINGS I LIKE (Besides my family & friends of course):

* Watching couples walking hand in hand.
* Airports.
* Hotels.
* Vintage Children's Books.
* To watch people receive awards/honors for something amazing that they have done. I always cry tears of joy - whether I know them or not. I just love to see people recognized for something. I guess that is why I occasionally watch Oprah!

5 THINGS I WAS DOING 10 YEARS AGO:

* Sadly, I was separating from my husband, Halis, after just 2 years of marriage.
* I was moving into my very first apartment.
* I was trying to date again after being with Halis since I was 15!
* I was getting to know my now very best friend, Melissa.
* Then, thankfully, I was dating my husband again ~ and learning how to make our marriage work after all (AMEN to that!)

5 FAVORITE SNACKS:

* Chocolate anything.
* Ripples Chips.
* Pasta anything.
* Animal crackers.
* Apples.

5 SONGS YOU KNOW ALL THE WORDS TOO:

* Yell Fire by Michael Franti.
* 1000 Miles by Vanessa Carlton.
* Let It Be by The Beatles.
* Walking in Memphis by Marc Cohn.
* Just about any Elvis, Dave Matthews, Sting, Paul Simon, Beatles or Sesame Street Song.

5 THINGS YOU WILL NEVER WEAR AGAIN:

* Leg warmers.
* A size 36 bra.
* Pink lipstick.
* My faux Michael Jackson sparkly glove.
* My MC Hammer pants.

5 THINGS YOU WILL DO WHEN YOU ARE A MILLIONARE:
(This used to read 5 Things You Would Do If You Were A Millionaire ... but since there are no "Ifs" about it, I changed the wording.)

* Adopt two more boys from Haiti (because all our children are Haitian and we just have to find them).
* Set up all my children for their future (money market accounts, college, etc).
* Buy a house on the ocean - in Maine.
* Make sure Halis doesn't have to work anymore by making wise investments.
* Give $ to worthy causes such as Haitian Roots.

So, now you know just a little bit more about me. And now, I am hoping to learn a little bit more about the following people ...

Mandy Brelsford
Holly Boulton
Janay

So, TAG, You're IT!

Love,
Jodi

Sounds like your "10 years ago" was pretty rough too. Thankfully we grow up and things tend to get a bit easier. Maybe because we stop fighting it all...
I enjoyed learning more about you. These meme's are kinda fun now and again...
