So, Kristy totally tagged me. She did this on her blog, and now here it is on mine. Queen Kristy has spoken and I must obey...plus it will get people off my back about updating the blog!
1. What were you doing 10 years ago?
I was probably doing laundry. 10 years ago Charlie was 6 years old, and in first grade.
We drove to Disney world at Thanksgiving time. Ok, now that I thought of that I was doing laundry and packing!
I was cleaning houses with my mom from about 8am-noon.
I was the president of the Friends of the Prior Lake Library (and I still am).
I drove a green mini-van with the wood paneling stuff on the sides - you've just got to LOVE that wood paneling!
Mike and I had been married 9 years. We were getting ready to go on a Caribbean Princess Cruise in January with Debbie & Terry, it was their 25th wedding anniversary, and Beth & Rick.
2. Name 5 things on your to-do list today.
A. Take Charlie to school
B. Pick up my mom, go to Bachmann's on 60th and Lyndale,
and then go visit my aunt in the care center.
C. Re-pot 2 of my orchids after the visit to Bachmann's for supplies.
D. Take Charlie to his trumpet lesson at 8pm
5. Watch Glee at 8pm...wait a minute!!! There is a conflict on my to do list!
Why doesn't this kid have his driver's license???
Tomorrow's to-do list...1. Call the driver's ed guy and set up the behind the wheel training!
3. What snacks do you enjoy?
Hmmm. What snacks don't I enjoy might be an easier question. I enjoy chocolate snacks, especially Cadbury fruit and nut candy bars. I enjoy original Lays potato chips. I like popcorn and Junior Mints at the movie theatre, but not mixed together.
4. Name the places you have lived.
Ok, in order
A. With my mom and grandparents in Bloomington
B. With my mom and dad in Bloomington or South Mpls, not sure which town the double bungalow was in
(all of the following are with my parental units, until I tell you otherwise)
C. In a trailer in Lakeville (by Fleet Farm)
D. On 70th and Columbus in Richfield
E. On Crest Drive in Burnsville
F. Rural Rt 2, Box 210B in Prior Lake
G. Oak Grove Ave in Minneapolis - my first apartment!
H. London, England for 3 months while attending Literature in London through the U of M
I. Back with mom and dad on Fillmore Ave in Prior Lake
J. With my friend Maren, in Uptown, on 31st and Dupont
K. In a duplex with my friend Lydia from B. Dalton near Matt's Bar on 35th and Cedar
L. Back with my mom and dad on Fillmore
M. In an apartment in Richfield on 494 - Mike and I lived together before the wedding - horror of all horrors!
N. The house where I live now with Mike, Charlie, Kinsey, and Buster - 5490 Crossandra in Prior Lake.
5. Name 5 things you would do if you were a billionaire.
A. Purchase the villa next to George Clooney's on Lake Como in Italy -
This one is George's, so I'd just pick one around his. Is a billion enough? Maybe have to ask Oprah for help, and tell her she can visit.
B. Hire a chauffeur for Charlie so I don't have to miss Glee.
C. Buy lots of First Class airline tickets to get me to the first class cabin I have booked on really nice cruise ships. I will, of course, check as much luggage as I want :)
D. Pick up a nice house in the mountains of Colorado, for use when I'm not cruising or in Italy with George.
E. Put some of the money away so if Charlie doesn't get the job at Microsoft that he wants he has plenty to live off of while he learns to run a Mac. Perhaps buy him a villa next to Jobs or Wozniak, just to help him out a little bit. Maybe he could just volunteer for Mr. Gates instead of actually collecting a pay check? Another option.
There you go, my 5 things. Wasn't it interesting? Think you can do better?
Prove it!
