Name 1 of your Heroes: Susan Easton Black. The woman has managed to make a successful career out of my all-time favorite subject: LDS Church History. I'd kill to be able to travel around talking/writing/teaching about the early pioneers, Palmyra, Nauvoo... all that cool stuff.
Name 2 Things You've Learned/Accomplished This Year: Well, I don't know if it's an accomplishment...but I did move to AZ all by my lonesome, found a job, a place to live and even made some friends! Also, I drove to Vegas all by myself. Maybe next year I'll try to accomplish something that doesn't involve me being alone...
Name 3 things You Want To Accomplish Before You Die:
-I'd like to not publicly embarrass myself when I speak in church tomorrow.
-I think I wanna run a marathon...maybe.
-I wanna drive cross-country in big RV.
Name 4 Books That Have Influenced the Way You Think (scriptures are a given): To Kill A Mockingbird (I want to be Mrs. Dubose), Work and the Glory Series (cuz 'member how I love Church History?), Hyrum Smith: Man of Intergrity (another one of my heroes), and Ella Enchanted (the cutest book ever!).
The Next 5 Things You Plan on Accomplishing in the Next 5 Years:
-Move back to Utah
-Learn to drive a stick-shift
-Learn how to make cool, online photo albums
-Buy a car
-Learn to walk in high-heels without looking silly
I tag Buffy and Lisa.

That's a pretty ambitious 5 years... are you sure you're gonna be able to fit that all in?
Easy, girl... you don't want to burn out.
You are speaking in church? You go girl! I will do this when I get time. ps- When are you coming home?
Hi barbaloot. Of course I remember you sleeping in class. That was the highlight of my day. :) Hope life is treating you well and very nice blog my dear.
You quit your job--when are you moving home? I hope your talk went well yesterday.
I agree with the Susan Black thing--amazing lady, much like yourself. You're both small, spunky, and wear really cute shoes :) You know what she'd tell you to do to get started on that path . . . more school! (at least that's what she told me to do--why didn't I listen?)
As for this year's accomplishments, major! I always like to pretend I would be daring enough to do something like you did, but really I think I'm too whimpy.
And just for you (and my taste buds) I am hoping for at least 2 lunches at Cosi's while I'm here.
I love the Format - and Bright eyes! Your blog just sang to me two great songs while I read this...good choices!
You quit your job?! That means you are moving home and I feel so great about that. and I'm making an online photo album right now. I'll teach you. It's super easy.
Barb, I'm always sincere :) I think they're great goals.
And if you need a stick-shift to practice with...
But you just tagged me!!! Oh, and yay for the high heels--although I've never thought you looked silly in them!
