Tag!

So apparently we're playing tag, and I'm it (unless of course my seester meant her other friend with my name, lol). Oh well. Whatever the case, I now tag my best friends. :-P

1. What I was doing ten years ago:
   Ten years ago I was 22. It was 1997. Had I moved back from Happy Valley by then? I don't remember. I hope so, lol. I believe I was living at home, probably working temp jobs on my way to a real job....
   


2. Five years ago:
   2002.... I was pregnant with Uno. Maybe on bed rest for a few weeks, or maybe that was next month.... (DH says that was October.) Working as an assistant to intellectual property lawyers.
   


3. One year ago:
   You'd think I'd be able to remember at least that far, lol! Living in a new town, chasing after my two little chickens.... Busy days, but not much to report.
   


4. Yesterday:
   I can't remember what I did all day (wow, I need more sleep) but in the evening I took the girls to the homecoming football game. Our team, which had the game all sewn up until the last three minutes, lost. (With one minute to go, the other team tied. With less than that, they scored another touchdown; their ... touchdown guy ... ran all the way down the field with nobody anywhere near him, lol. And frankly I was glad because it meant no overtime and we could go home.)
   


5. 5 snacks I enjoy:
   Fruity ice cream (does that count as a snack or a treat?), chips & salsa, anything with avocados, apple berry granola bars, and cheese.
   


6. 5 Things I would do if I suddenly had $100 million:
   That's more money than I can fully wrap my brain around, lol. I would pay off all our debt, including mortgage and DH's educational debt. I would set up philanthropic trusts and trusts for the girls' education. Maybe for them generally, too, but that seems kind of scary (don't want them to turn into little Paris Hiltons!). I would travel, travel, travel. Maybe go back to school, myself. Who knows. Save the rest. I can't imagine it's possible to actually spend that much in one lifetime.
   


7. 5 locations I would like to run away to:
   Portugal, Brazil, West Texas (I still miss it sometimes), NYC, and my cozy bed (assuming I could feel cozy in it).
   


8. 5 bad habits I have:
   I'm lazy, I don't floss as often as I should, I never answer my phone (more a pathology than a bad habit, but whatever), I eat junk too often because it's easier than cooking, I lose patience with my children too easily.
   


9. 5 things I like doing:
   Sleeping (not that that's ever comfortable anymore, grrrrr), traveling, creating, hanging out with my family (both the one I came from and my more recently begun one), and playing with my girlfriends.
   


10. 5 TV shows I like:
    House, Heroes, the original CSI, HGTV's Design Star, and [insert trashy VH1 Celebreality series here, i.e.: Flavor of Love Girls Charm School, Scott Baio is 45 & Single, Rock of Love with Bret Michaels -- holy cow, they're bad, lol].
    


11. 5 things I hate doing:
    Talking on the phone, mopping the floor (I love my robot vacuum, so now I just need the robot mop!), folding laundry, socializing with people I don't know well or at all, waking up early, and playing outdoors in cold weather.
    


12. 5 Biggest joys of the moment:
    Listening to my girls tell about their days at school (they're soooo big!), watching Dos do her "angry dance" (it's hilarious) when the band plays at high school games, anticipating Ponybelle's arrival, spending time with DH (wow, adult conversation!), and having opportunities to be creative.
    

Okay, Mrs. McMitchell & K2, it's your turn!
