I've been tagged!

... so here I go:

1. 2 of your most embarrassing moments: Ahh...embarrassment ...my life is one giant ball of embarrassment! I lost my skirt and showed myself and my undies to the entire University Of Utah population on the plaza outside the Marriot library one day in April ... it's been 20 years and I am still mortified!!! And most recently, I went to a special open house of the Draper temple ... coming home was a joke ... I have a hard time seeing at night and so unfamiliar roads are scary! I followed friends out until they got on to I-15. I pulled over shortly after because I lost my baring and couldn't figure out where I was. A man saw me and and my obvious distress and came over and ask if he could help. I was bawling of course! "I can't figure out how to find the Bangerter!" I wailed! "Mam, your on it." "What direction am I going?" "North bound ..." he answered (very patiently) Poor guy, probably thought I was on heavy drugs! Oh well!

2. Who are your best friends: Too many to name ... I am so popular! My sister Kayleen, ranks up at the top! Laralyn, Stephen, Katherine, Ailao, Melissa, Amity, Susie ... I could go on and on ...don't verify this list though ... some of them may deny they know me! :o)

3 things you buy regularly: Cat food, Diet Soda and anything high in fat and calories!

4 places you want to go (and might actually really go):

1. I'm always going crazy, but I've never actually gotten there. Perhaps the next person to drive me nuts will actually not miss the exit at crazy!

2. Heaven would be nice! I know some people personally that left to go there and never came back , so , it must be worth the trip!

3. I would love to go to Austria and climb a mountain and sing ... "The Hills Are Alive, With The Soud Of Music!" and lastly,

4. I want to go to Australia ... I don't know why ... it just souds fun!

5 goals for the upcoming year (that you might actually do):

1. clean my house at least once ... I don't want to over extend myself :o),

2. Perhaps I will also clean out my car ...I took out the bag of groceries that had expiration dates from 1999 and submitted them to "Ripley's Believe It or Not!" I expect my 15 minutes of fame to begin any minute now!

3. Scripture study more often would be nice for spiritual growth!

4. I think it would be fun to introduce my ward to Auntie Velma ... she's my very sarcastically humored alter ego... she was invented as a memory of all those years watching Carol Burnett!

5. I have made a vow to stop eating fast food in my car ... now, all of you people who feel compelled to monitor me ... I said I will stop eating it in my car!! Not altogether stop, so don't tell me all about it if you see me at the BK lounge. As long as I'm inside ... that's OK

6 things most people don't know about you: The things most people don't know should really be kept a secret! Let's see ...

1. I talk to myself ... I find that I am very uplifting and incredibly funny! and obnoxious, but we won't go there!

2. I once sang primary songs in a stuck elevator with L Tom Perry of the quorum of the 12. And since we're going there,

3. Jeffery R Holland gave me a nativity from Italy for Christmas in 1988!

4. My romantic fantasies are rated G ...sad, but true!

5. I once snuck away from a date and left him sitting there. I went home ... he was weird and creepy anyway ...I hope I didn't scar him for life ... I doubt it.

6. I had a swatch watch ...back in the day ... it fell off my wrist on the Port Jefferson Ferry on Long Island and is now floating somewhere in the bottom of the atlantic ocean.
