Tagged...Again

All right, all right. You're probably getting tired of reading all these "tagged" posts. Who comes up with these, anyway? Is there some little imp at a computer who gleefully churns these things out and makes us feel like we have to play along?

Speaking of playing along, here goes:

Remove the blog from the top, place yours at the bottom, and move the others up one:
Ennui in the Grocery
Novembrance
The Lyon's Tale
Sundial in the Shade
The InkLadies

What were you doing ten years ago?
We lived in University of Utah student housing in Salt Lake City. We had a busy little boy and I babysat practically all the other kids in our apartment court while their parents worked or went to school. I wrote the rough draft for my first novel during nap times. Church-wise, I was ward organist and on the homemaking/enrichment committee.

What were you doing one year ago?
I was frantically studying the Doctrine and Covenants and Church history, trying to prepare for my upcoming assignment to teach early morning seminary. The intense study was a great experience, but I can’t really say I came into the class prepared to teach it. Some things you just can’t prepare for.

Incredibly rich and incredibly famous. Isn't that what happens to all published authors? ;-)

Five people to tag:
