A Meme for Me?! Aww... You Shouldn't Have

I've been tagged for a meme courtesy of Lattes and Life.

The rules: Each player answers the questions about themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 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.

What was I doing ten years ago? Let's see.....I was in my senior year of college. Going to school full-time and wrapping up sorority life. I was panicked about finding a job and had just met H. Life was a whirlwind that seemed so stressful at the time but now seems so carefree.

What are five (non-work) things on my to-do list for today:
T.D.'s first hair cut. Got to get rid of that Nick Nolte mug shot look
Pick up fondue items for GNO
Shower
Pay a speeding ticket
Wallow in the world of potty training


5 Snacks I enjoy:
cheeses- from sliced American to something stinky I love it.
s'mores
popcorn
soft serve ice cream (I could hurt someone for that right now)
cut- up fruit- be it mango, pineapple, strawberries or even orange slices I love it.

Things I would do if I were a billionaire: A billionaire huh? Well, first pay off all debt. Then take a simple vacation to figure out what we wanted to do with the money. I would most likely set up a foundation or two for domestic violence in my area and others. Raising awareness for that would be key. As well as setting up a scholarship fund at my old high school and university for students who were a lot like me. Then house-hunting. I would buy a home in the District, then on the beach in RI, next stop France and then who knows. I would spend my time volunteering and helping out others. Yes, there would be shopping but the gathering of stuff would not be my life. I would help out my family too.

Places I have lived:
Massachusetts
Various RI locales
Dumfries, VA
Vista, CA
Texas (I picked up a nice twang there)
High Point, NC (I realized the South was not for a "damn Yankee" like me. Hey, I was called that unprovoked many times in my stay there. Talk about feeling welcome. And yet, I still find the South charming for the most part.)
Rockville, MD & College Park, MD (ah, sweet freedom)
Various CT locations
29 Palms & Yucca Valley, CA (want to turn into turkey jerky in less than a few hours? Here's the place!)
Am I forgetting a place?

Jobs I have had: Also known as - how can I put you to sleep
Cashier at Hallmark, Benny's and CVS (dude, this last job rocked! I would write horribly bad "deep, dark poetry" and stick it on my register for the customers to read. Mgmt. was not pleased.)
I worked at a local sandwich shop on the beach- The Weekapaug Inlet- holler if you know it!
History Dept at HPU
Travel agent for UMD faculty (ooh how I loved going over receipts and denying folks for buying extravagant items while on a work trip.)
Student Activities Accounts Mgr. (ooh how I loved denying groups who were snotty or rude to me money for activities. NO PIZZA FOR YOU!)
Documentation analyst- DHS
Wage Specialist- DoD a.k.a govt. drone
Material Cost Estimator- Company A (obviously not its real name) a.k.a. slave to the proposal system.
Client Services Manager
Receptionist
Motel maid (about a day until I realized how no one else was cleaning the rooms, just me.)
Arbonne Consultant (still am!)
Technical writer for a company suspiciously like Initech. I prefer to think of it as the time I wished for a terminal illness (I'm dead serious) and worked on the Death Star for Darth Vader. She knows what I'm talking about.
I know there is more...

So now I'm supposed to tag five poor bloggers to do this- Sorry folks. Smack me later. I pick...
Reality Travel
Where in the World
A Catalog of Bitch
Sarah, Goon Squad, Sarah
A Parent in Silver Spring

Thanks for commenting! It's always good to hear from a reader and not say, a robot.
