The Power of 8
I was tagged for this meme by Byrning Bunny, whose blog I just recently started reading.
The Rules:
- The rules of the game get posted at the beginning.
- Each player answers the questions about themselves.
- At the end of the post, the player then tags 5-6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog.
- Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.
The Questions:
What was I doing ten years ago?
Well, I was about to turn 30 (guess how old that makes me now?), and landisdad and I were living in CA, planning our wedding.
What are five things on my to do list for today tomorrow?
Calling the place where landisdad & I are having our birthday party; being on three conference calls; making my to-do list; sending out party invites; laundry (is it ever not on the list?)
Snacks I enjoy?
I’m really loving the kettle corn, right now. Fresh from the farmers’ market, yum!
Things I would do if I were a billionaire?
Billionaire? Wow, so much higher-stakes that previous memes! Okay, travel for sure. Also? Buying the best damn election for the Democrats that money can buy. Hell, all the other billionaires do it!
I guess there’s also the whole investing/saving for college/putting money away for retirement thing, too.
Three of my bad habits?
Um, bad money management? Taking on too much. Failure to clean to any reasonable human standard.
Five places I have lived?
New Brunswick, NJ; Boise, ID; Oakland, CA; San Francisco, CA; Union City, CA
Five jobs I have had?
Canvasser, Waitress, Word Processor, Stage Manager, Organizer
Five people I want to know more about:
Jennifer, Mama Em & Mama A, Flea, Tracey, & Becky
I would love it if you would choose to add #8 and tell us how you chose your blog’s name.
Well, I’m sorry that’s not a more interesting story. The real story is this–landisdad gave my kids their nicknames on the day that each of them were born, while we were in the hospital. I wish I could take credit for making up my blog name, but I just gave them pseudonyms that they already had as family nicknames.
