Six Things

Sorry for being absent. I've had so many bloggable things lately but I just can't seem to get my self together to get it done! I've had amazing weekends for the past, I don't know, 4 weekends! But I'll speak on that soon. For now, I'm easing back in with a meme...

The ever-lovely Sophanne tagged me with this:


"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."

1) What was I doing 10 years ago?
I was living in Tucson, working at a nefarious bar, finishing massage school and in October of that year, meeting my husband.

2) What are 5 things on my to-do list for today (not in any particular order):
work, return some things to stores, go to Costco, make more Stitch Savers, knit

3) Snacks I enjoy:
anything with sugar, but lately I've been addicted to hummus and Ritz chips

4) Things I would do if I were a billionaire: hire a maid.
D and I always talk about what we'd do if we won lottery - travel, buy a medium house with a lot of land, buy cars for friends and family. Parker had a bill on the table to build this fancy new library with a preforming arts center. D said he would build it but they'd have to name it after the Nebraska Huskers (which, in Colorado is sacrilege!)

5) Places I have lived:
Reedley/Clovis/Fresno/Shaver Lake, CA; Ft. Jackson, SC; San Antonio, TX; Ft. Benning, GA; Wurzburg and Schweinfurt, Germany; Tucson, AZ; Parker, CO

6) Jobs I have had:
packing baby products for retail (you wouldn't believe the mark-up on that stuff!), optician in the Army, waitress, massage therapist, head-hunter, many others that I'll discuss someday...

I was once offered a job as a student beautician in a mortuary. I was all for it until the tour and there was a small child on a slab. The funeral director was in mid-sentence but when I saw that little girl, I just walked out without a word. I took the job as a student beautician for an insane asylum instead.

7) 6 peeps I wanna know more about:
