This is a really good Blog Tag

The rules are as follows:1. Each player answers the questions about themselves: five items per answer! 2. At the end of the post, the player then tags five people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves a comment letting them know they've been tagged and to ask them to play along and to read your blog.

10 years ago:
I lived in Maryland.
I had a dog I am still missing a lot - Tucker.
I was married.
I was not yet 40, darn that felt good.
My grandfather was still alive - I miss him too.

Today's to-do list: (there really was not one, thankfully, as it was one of those days I had to roll with the punches)
At their request, wake up 3 teenagers at 7:30 am
Clean up sleepover wreckage
Take Leanne and some friends to a 4H Bake Sale
Pick said teenagers up
Take care of myself, emotionally

Snacks I enjoy:

Cheese and Crackers
Popcorn
Poptarts
Really good ice cream
Any kind of pie

If I were a billionaire I would:

Have cozy little bungalows all over the world, for me and of course to be shared with my friends
Fund a home for the elderly that truly takes good care of them...and John and Jane and Mary and Skeet would live there
Travel, travel, travel
Have a huge farm (that might be where the old folks live)
Give a ton of money to certain medical research causes

My Bad Habits:
I am only spontaneous and carefree when it comes to spending money
I tear the crap out of my fingernails when I stress - at least I no longer bite them, they look like crap still though
I neglect my docs appointments - things like mammograms
When I stress I don't eat well
I tend to be a packrat - throwing things away is not easy for me

Places I have lived:
Columbus, GA
College Park, MD
Hyattsville, MD
Richmond Hill, GA
Ruckersville, VA

Jobs I have had:
Mother, always and forever it feels like :) (the pay is actually the best of all...but I won't count it in my 5)
Kennel manager
Various retail and administrative clerk jobs of no worthy mention
Team and government institutional sporting good sales
Office manager/business operator of a carpet cleaning company, currently
The best job ever had no title - there were too many hats to give it one - working for the Fisher family totally rocked - Jim changed my life and so many others, and I think anyone who ever worked for him would agree. That is why 26 years after his untimely death, his picture is still in my house where I can see it every day.

I need to figure out how to tag Christine...darn.
