Janet's Meme

Janet tagged me and I've finally made time to respond.

What was I doing ten years ago?
Marley was nine months old and into everything. I'm sure I was chasing her, chasing the older children outside to play, and because we were in Jacksonville, NC then, and summer is quite steamy there, I'm certain I was listening to complaints about having to play outside in the heat.

Five snacks I enjoy:
tortilla chips
dry roasted peanuts
peanut M&M's
apples
trail mix

Five things on my to-do list today:
Get dog from animal shelter.
Get Jacy's Lizard Ridge afghan from Darlene's Knit Shop.
Take Marley to a pool party.
Make beef stroganoff for supper.
Knit.

Things I would do if I were a billionaire:
The only thing that immediately comes to mind is pay a huge amount in taxes.

Five jobs I have had:
food-service worker
gas-station attendant
ESL aide
writer-of-checks-for-a-wealthy-woman
long-term substitute teacher

Five of my bad habits:
Waiting for someone else (anyone else) to answer the phone.
Cracking my knuckles.
Reading instead of doing what I should be doing.
Yelling up the stairs at the children instead of walking upstairs and speaking in a normal voice.
Washing almost all the dishes, but leaving one or two in the sink.

Five places I have lived:
Auburn, Alabama
Irvine, California
Memphis, Tennessee
Beaufort, South Carolina
Romulus, New York

Five people I would like to get to know better:
Dy
Dana
Meg
Anne
Tracy

Five random things about me:
I like figs.
I rarely have trouble sleeping.
I do not enjoy flying.
I like using my solar-powered/wind-powered dryer.
On Monday I dressed in the dark (so as not to wake Steve), left the house, ran various errands and was in and out of several stores and at 10:00 a.m. (four hours after getting dressed) I discovered - on my own - that I was wearing these shoes:


I thought it was hilarious! But I couldn't get home to change them until after noon. What do you think everyone who saw me thought? And why did no one say anything?!

Yes, Donna! My children asked why I didn't feel the difference - one flaps like a flip-flop and the other is strapped firmly to the sole of the foot! I think I must be losing what little mind I had left....

Are they birks?

Yes they're Birks - and I love them, too. I've bought all my Birkenstocks for the last few years from Birkenstockexpress.com - they have shoes on sale all the time. That's why I ended up with green shoes - they were on sale!

Now that's a perfect example of a preoccupied mind! Too funny.

BTW - I share all your bad habits... and could add a few more!
