tagged, now i'm it...

okay, i've been tagged...by woolydaisy with something called a meme, for reasons neither she nor i understand....anyone?



The rules: Are posted at the beginning. At the end of the post the player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blog and leaves 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 answers. (note: i don't personally know 6 people who blog and might be willing to be "it", but will try one or two...)


  1. What was I doing 10 years ago? living in nevada city, california and working at the briarpatch co-op, spending as much time as possible hiking and swimming at the yuba river , going to concerts and playing dominos and cribbage!



  2. What are 5 things on my to-do list today, not in any particular order? vote, water my flowers, sanitize the bathrooms again since the other two members of the household have colds and/or pinkeye!, return the little wonder-girl's movies to the video store, and clear away the horrible mountain of paperwork that has accumulated in the kitchen.



  3. Snacks I enjoy: chocolate in most forms, salty and spicy things like chips, preferably with guacamole & barbara's jalepeno cheesepuffs, nuts (especially macadamia), and of course those decadent cravings i was so into while pregnant which are french fries and pie. i know, not healthy. i try to minimize the ingestion of those last two...



  4. Places I've lived: colorado (don't remember this one...i was too small!), wenatchee, walla walla, republic, whibey island, cashmere, seattle, & arlington for washington state, ajo arizona, nevada city, north san juan, chicago park, lake almanor and greenville for california sites.



  5. Things I would do if I were a billionaire: oh yes...i have given this many hours of dream-it-up thought.... okay, buy a really nice piece of property (or several) near the yuba river and build a great house with a super shop and houses for assorted family members and friends; finance alan's restoration of our '42 pontiac woody; pay off the mortgages of friends and family, support all my favorite massage therapists; have fun spreading money around in general...



  6. What are some jobs you've had? let's see... massage therapist, gardener, horticulture service manager, title insurance secretary, life and health insurance salesperson, skin care consultant, waitress, bank teller, grocery stocker, clerk & lowly front-end manager for the co-op, clerk in an import store, counter help for my local fast-food drive in, and receptionist/bookkeeper for a hair salon. does stay at home mom count?



  7. People I want to know more about: okay, Amanda, tag, you're it! don't worry, if you have objections and don't want to..., i'll understand, but it is a fun little exercise....
