I’ve been tagged! By Ginger!
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 answer. Play nice, children.
1. What was I doing 10 years ago?
dAhub and I had been married almost a year (our anniversary is Aug. 3). No kids or chickens yet. We had been living in our house in Seattle for 3 years. I had quit my job at the University of Washington the year before and was trying to turn my dissertation into a book. I was mourning the death of my mom–she had breast cancer, but on May 12th of that year she died in a car accident.
2. What are 5 things on my to-do list today- not in any particular order?
Clean the house (heh); babysit a friend’s kid; water and feed the chickens; comb the rat’s nest that Girlfriend’s hair has become; mail some packages I should have mailed eons ago.
3. Snacks I enjoy.
Chocolate, salty stuff, chocolate, and salty stuff. Oh, and chocolate.
4. Places I’ve lived:
Monterey, CA; LA, CA; San Diego, CA; NY, NY; Seattle, WA.
5. Things I would do if I were a billionaire:
Pay off my house; create a foundation through which I can donate tons of money to anything I feel like supporting.
6. What are some jobs you’ve had:
clerk in a fudge shop; clerk in a Christmas shop; clerk in a donut shop; fry cook; public radio dj; college orientation leader; in-house secretarial temp at an investment banking firm(the worst job ever); Asst. Director of Orientation (university); Director of New Student Programs (university); Academic Advisor (university); university lecturer; dramaturg at an Off-Broadway theatre (we won an Obie for one of the shows I worked on!!).
7. Peeps I want to know more about:
I’m tagging Sasha, Erin, Chris, Juliet, Amelia, Wooly Daisy. Don’t hate me…
In other news, I’ve apparently reverted back to my original self this year. I’ve fallen and injured my knees too many times to count. I twisted my ankle. The sidewalk attacked me. And this past weekend I broke my toe and sheared half the nail off of one of my fingers. All due to incredible clumsiness. Which is me. Clumsy. It’s a hallmark of a Sagittarius. Picture a newborn foal wobbling around on those long legs. That’s me.
When I called the doctor after I did the fingernail thing and added that I seemed to have broken my toe, he laughed and asked if I’d been doing a lot of drinking that weekend. I couldn’t even spin the story that I was on a bender. I was just doing stuff around the house. Sigh.
And I will have a winner from my blogiversary contest. And pics my my vacation. And pics of knitting. Soon, very soon.
More oops: edited to add a bunch of stuff I forgot from the meme.
