You see, I have this incredibly funny and talented cousin named Stacey. Stacey and I were pretty much best friends growing up.  She lived just two streets over and we had a BLAST in EVERYTHING we did.  Why do we grow up?

Each year we would go to St. George together for a week with Grandma and Grandpa Nichols.  They lived down there and grandpa ran the gold shop.  I have MANY stories about Hoola Hoops, Suspicion, and the gas station and some AMAZING pictures that will have to be posted later, but boy, those were the good days!

ANYWHO, I was paroosing around on her blog today and saw this list.  I thought that I would take part:

5 things I was doing 5 years ago
1 - Serving in Heflin Alabama, aka HELL FELL IN!  Listen, 4000 people IN THE ENTIRE COUNTY!... The town preacher knew about me BEFORE I met him.  It was like Mayberry meets...Mayberry.

2-5. HEFLIN.  I won't bore you with stories.  I KNOW that stoned, glazed, distant look that each of you get when I start up, SO I WON'T.

5 favorite snacks
1- Reese's Peanut Butter....ANYTHING!  WHY?!

2- YOGURT!...and granola.

3- Apples, cold, cut into four slices, and cored

4- Sour candy.  BRING IT ON!

5- Anything gummy fruit.  The bulk candy at the grocery store....AH....

5 jobs I have had
1- Wingers's host and server.  Three HARDCORE years.

2- JCPenny telemarketing.  After only two weeks of employment, my resignation was placed in the "suggestion box" with a note that said "I suggest you send Greg Larsen his final paycheck in the mail."  This decision was made MID CALL from yet another woman ordering a size 48 triple E extra elegant black lace bra all in such a thick Southern accent that not even Oprah could work her magic.  (Karma kicked in and I got my mission call to ALABAMA two months later...)

3- Danville Services as job coach for adults with mental handicaps.  I LOVED THIS JOB!

4- Specimen Processor.  OH THE STORIES.  I got ALL the lab samples from the Northern Utah area.  My hands were on things not even the owner should have had to witness.

5- Manager at Rodgers Memorial Theatre.  This is where I began the saga that is MANAGER/BOY!

6- Unemployment....if only I got paid for interviews...

5 things I would do with a million dollars
1- Mortgage a home one day, and then walk in the next day with a briefcase full of cash and say, "Oh, I completely forgot that I had this." The amount of interest accrued in one day would be worth it.

2-Pre-pay the utility bills indefinitely.  I HATE paying the utility bill.

3- Travel the world with my family and see the architectural marvels of the world.

4- Buy my own nice rental properties in Provo and provide them free of charge for young families who show dedication and faith in their studies and in their personal lives.

5-INVEST and set a perpetuity for my family that provides the funding for annual excursions to the greatest historical parts of the world.

5 things that made me laugh this week
1- When I told myself that I would be in bed by 10:30pm every night this week.

2- When I realized that I left my slacks at grandma's and the only pair of pants that I had to wear to church were an old pair of pants that are now BOOTY PANTS... SHAME!

3- When my wife and I sang the GOLDEN GIRLS theme song to each other. I am NOT ashamed.  It's just how I roll.

4- When I almost went to an interview for one of those mall kiosk jobs.

5-When an old lady was rolled out of a restaurant on a STRETCHER flirting with the EMT.  Good to the last drop.

Thank You.
