10 years ago I was:
48 years old, living in Austin, working at Zimmer Orthopedics, getting used to being a grammy as I had one grandson compared with nine today, and five years away from being an empty-nester. What an interesting 10 years these last have been! So much has changed!!

5 things on my to-do list today:
buy two wedding presents
buy some new shoes (Fun!)
celebrate Friday with dinner out
organize my weekend for maximum accomplishments
feed Bob and Hans while Laurie is in Tucson with Savannah, Andrew and Lizzy

Things I'd do if I became a billionnaire:
buy some land with water on it
work on good investments
set up Grandchild Scholarships
build a big house
fund medical research of some kind
contribute to the Perpetual Education Fund
travel and snorkel all the best dive spots
buy a private jet

5 Secret Bad Habits
- reading way too much at night instead of sleeping
- leaving the radio on all night for company and to hear what George Norrey(sp?) and Art Bell are discussing, especially about the aliens
- eating whole wheat bread and chocolate milk almost every day for breakfast (so good!)
- keeping old Taco Bell wrappers in the car until they lose their appetizing aromas
- getting lazier as I get older (not much of a secret, actually)

5 Things Most People Don't Know About Me:
1. I love soul music and especially Christian soul music, not gospel but more like the Wynans or Donnie McClurkin's Holy
2. I sewed almost all my clothes in college as my summer job, including formals, coats with bound buttonholes and lined suits. My dad said if I sewed my clothes, I didn't have to get a summer job, so every day I was sewing and every Saturday I was at the beach if at all possible. I never earned a paycheck until I graduated from college and worked at Utah Valley Hospital.
3. My roommate at BYU my freshman year, who was from Ohio, said she'd never seen anyone as tan as I was. This you pay for later in life, so I don't recommend it.
4. I was listed in 1983 Outstanding Young Women of America
5. I've scuba-dived to 90 feet.
