I admit it. I was a 33-year-old tag virgin. There's something about never having been tagged that makes you feel like that poor kid in junior high who always sat at a lunch table by himself. But
Lauri's pulled me to the cool table. I'm a bloggy loser no more.
What were you doing 10 years ago?I was rounding out my 3rd year at my first "real" job and beginning to realize that I was never going to go much further with that company. (I left about three months later. That was a goodbye party to remember!) I was living in a big old farm house with faulty electricity, bad plumbing, and the occasional mouse. I was dating a guy who was four years younger than me -- and that was before Demi and Ashton made robbing the cradle cool.
What were you doing 1 year ago?Dating Mr. Inertia and wondering -- if he only owed less than $100 on the engagement ring as he said -- why he wasn't proposing. (I later learned that the ring was like a NY Times Bestseller -- pure fiction.)
Five Snacks I enjoy:- Anything chocolate
- Crackers and cheese and/or deli meat
- Popcorn (especially Kettle Corn - yummo)
- Frozen grapes (weird, but really good)
- Did I mention anything chocolate?
Five songs to which I know all the lyrics:
(I sing all the time. Not well, necessarily... but I sing. These five are songs that make me think of Peanut or bolster my strength during this waiting game.)
- Sweet Baby James -- James Taylor
- Baa, Baa Black Sheep (in Russian... I'm very proud)
- Right to Be Wrong -- Joss Stone
- Standing Outside the Fire -- Garth Brooks
- Moses -- Patty Griffith
Five things I would do if I were a Millionaire:- Buy a cottage up north for my family to use
- Pay my nieces' and nephews' tuitions
- Set up a grant fund so other PAPs wouldn't have to stress as much as I have over $$$
- Go to Ireland
- Buy a house on the lake.
Five bad habits:
- I pick at my fingernails
- I'm a major procrastinater
- I'm addicted to checking FRUA and Russian news -- I do it constantly
- Lately I've been far too self-focused
- I sleep on the couch (I'm an insomniac -- the TV in the living room can help sometimes. But for the most part, the couch is a habit. Tonight is a no-sleep night. It's 2:30 am and I'm blogging.)
Five Things I like doing:- Making landscape quilts
- Reading
- Scrapbooking (I'm making one for Bethany's youngest (Party Girl) right now.)
- Talking on the phone (I swear, I'm like a teenager sometimes)
- Visiting family and friends.
Five things I would never wear ( buy or get again):- My high school cheerleading uniform
- Another bridesmaid's dress (I've paid my dues)
- Bikini (unless I lose massive amounts of weight)
- A tank top with bra straps hanging out (that's the epitome of tackiness)
- A plaid skirt (I went to a private school as a child. I'm plaid-skirted out.)
Five Favorite toys:
- Digital camera
- Scanner
- My new staple gun (I'm having an inordinate amount of fun with it)
- Computer
- The fabric scissors I got for Christmas (they're perfect for "fussy cutting").
I'm supposed to tag five people but I have a very small circle of blogs that I frequent. I think they've all been tagged already and I don't want to be a retagger.
Next I'm supposed to insert this list-

By the way, the new blog template is COOL. Lisa has us all looking so good!
