Tagged!

Pin It Now!


I was tagged by LeAnn ~Pink Icing on the Cake

RULES:
1. The rules of the game get posted at the beginning.
2. Each player answers the questions about themselves.
3. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves a comment, letting them know they've been tagged and asking them to read your blog.

What was I doing 10 years ago: I was unhappily married and just months away from finding out he was having an affair...What I didn't know at the time is that it was all a blessing in disguise...I'm so much happier now!

Five things on my to-do list today:
work 8:30-5:00
cook dinner
do the dishes
straighten up the house
watch TV
(this is a typical M-F day)

Snack I enjoy:
candy
chips & dip
Brie Cheese

Things I would do if I were a billionaire:
Quit work!
Buy my own cottage, nothing huge...just something quaint.
Buy my kids new cars
Give my family members a lot of money
Have a huge party weekend for my blogging friends on Martha's Vineyard!
Help some single moms who are struggling
Travel

Three of my bad habits:
Driving too fast
eating too fast
not enough patience

Five places I have lived:
(I've only lived in the South Bay Area of San Francisco, CA)
San Jose, CA
Saratoga, CA
Mountain View, CA
Sunnyvale, CA
Campbell, CA

Five jobs I have had:
Administrative Assistant
Chauffeur for Limo Company
Sales Clerk
Amusement Park worker
Day Care Provider

Five people I want to know more about (a nice way of saying TAG!!): I won't tagged anyone...as usual.

I took these photos of my flowers yesterday when I got home from work. Everything is really starting to get lush and bloom!

Hi Cindy, I'm sooooo EXCITED because today as my Mom and I were shopping at Wal Mart I found a copy of the magazine with your home in it! HOORAY, I can hardly wait to pour a glass of tea and relax on the swing with the new magazine. Ksarra

Gorgeous flowers. Not really having many in Colorado yet. You're lucky to live in California!

Hi!
I just came across your blog and the first thing I saw was your beautiful pink rose. I just moved from CA to TX and I sorely miss my little rose garden full of pink roses. Yours is so pretty, I can almost smell it! Thank you for sharing it.

Wow! A limo driver? Did you drive the limo fast?
Love the flower photo Cindy. My flowers are starting to get lush too. I think you get more rain than we do though.
Have a nice night,
Rosemary

I'd really have to think of five things to put in those categories.
Do you have your roses trained on something like a trellis ?
I would love to have lot's of roses in my back yard in every color.

Hi Cindy,

Cindy, hello there! This is my first comment on a blog ever, because you've definitely inspired me. I've been reading your blog for a few months now. I was asking the sales clerk about the magazine you are in, i almost told her, "my friend is in this issue." LOL. Not yet here in Philippines though. Its funny how it seems I've known you!:) Anyway, you are talented and beautiful, thank you for sharing. Would love to see a pic of your kids on here as well. Take care, Christine

Cindy, Your flowers are so beautiful! It snowed here today in the Pacific NW! I loved reading about you and also loved your article in the Romantic Country mag. I know what you mean about the blessing in disguise. I am recently divorced with a 22 yr old daughter and we love every minute. We are both so much happier. May your life be blessed! (It looks like it already is!) Blessings, Victoria Lynn

I'm the same...if I won a bazillion dollars, I'd still live in a smaller cottage somewhere. I'm a small cottage gal!
