I was tagged...

A. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning.
B. Each player answers the questions about themselves.
C. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

5 Things I did today:
1. Fed Eleanore.
2. Took a shower and got dressed -- all before 10 a.m. (This is quite a feat for me these days!)
3. Fed Eleanore.
4. Folded laundry.
5. Fed Eleanore. (Okay...so you get the idea, I feel like I spend most of my day feeding El, but that is okay -- I enjoy it, and it isn't all feeding, with every feed comes a diaper change :). Actually feeding time is the best because it is when she is awake and I can actually look at her eyes and talk to her.)

5 Things I need to do:
1. Put the baby on the insurance.
2. Go to the Post Office.

4. Do some writing for the hospital.
5. Take a NAP!

5 Memories I have with my family:
1. With my family as a kid I remember playing outside a lot in the summer with older brother Josh and little sister Miriam. We played in the sprinklers and the dirt trails -- we liked to find dead birds and bury them there, which is really gross.
2. I have a lot of crazy, funny memories of my family growing up too (i.e., morning devotionals and the family cheer, weekend trips with mom and dad, Miriam and me going to Mexico with the parents and having a silent scratching fight in the middle of the night -- we had to be silent because we were scared of waking up dad --, shower times, being bribed to entertain Grandma Toy during a summer visit (we played a lot of Yatzee) in exchange for a trip to Lagoon, etc., etc.).
3. Stand-out memories with the Buckley family include camping trips to Island Park, a day trip to City of the Rocks with Bryan's parents (we got a flat tire on the way so the trip was longer and more eventful than planned...but the steak sure was good once we got there!), playing cards until the wee hours of the morning, lots of double dates with Bryan's parents when we were engaged, playing Settlers (and other strategy games) with Rob and Catherine, etc.
4. Some of the great memories I have of "our family" include living in Sister Miller's little house in Mendon, buying our own townhouse in Smithfield and finishing the basement, camping, sledding down Old Main, road trips to Las Vegas and trying to stay awake, driving 3,000 miles on our move to Florida, going to the Bucs game for Bryan's b-day...it poured rain and the Bucs won! (see photo), etc.



5. Now...memories of our family of three...I hope I never forget the funny expressions Eleanore makes right now -- I love her funny faces (especially the ones she makes when she is waking up and stretching).

5 Things I was doing 10 years ago:
1. Meeting Bryan.
2. Working at the Rio Theater.
3. Cruising for boys with Mandi and Celeste.
4. Getting my braces off.
5. Starting to date.

5 of my bad qualities/habits:
1. Leaving my shoes in front of the door.
2. Bryan thinks I talk on the phone too much (my sisters may think it isn't enough!)
3. I bite my nails and fidget when I get nervous.
4. I read People Magazine online (I know, a complete waste of time, but for some reason star gossip intrigues me).
5. I'm not very patient.

5 Things that people probably don't know about me:
1. I don't really like to read. I used to, but I think college ruined it for me -- too many textbooks (I actually read them).
2. I think my favorite thing is getting a really good haircut. There is just something about going to a nice salon and having someone wash your hair and cut it -- it is the best (maybe that is why I can never grow my hair long).
3. I love writing in my journal.
4. I love reality TV (actually this may not be a secret).
5. I don't know...I'm not very good at hiding stuff. So, that is why most people know pretty much everything about me.

Okay, I don't even know five other people with blogs...so I tag Catherine and then I tag Kim Marx, Melisa, Miriam and Jodi -- you guys should make blogs and your tag can be your first post!!!
