Thanks Melissa for the tag.
5 Things I Was Doing 10 Years Ago:
- Working at Telus Mobility
- Dating a guy from the office
- Renting an apartment
- Driving my beautiful silver rocket - the 1980 Datsun 280ZX
- Waiting for my life to start and not even realizing I was waiting and not doing it!
5 Snacks I Enjoy:
- Hot buttery toast with Marmite
- Chocolate bars (preferably real English chocolate)
- Pork scratchings (i.e., fried pork rinds. I know, I disgust myself... *hangs head in shame*)
- Maltesers
- Grapes, cherries & other pop-able fruit (it's not all junk that I eat)
5 TV Shows I've Seen Every Episode Of:
- The Office (original British version, thanks kindly)
- Design Inc
- Sarah's House (yes, I'm a big fan of Sarah Richardson)
- Seinfield
- Friends
5 Things I Would Do If I Were A Millionaire*:
- Make sure my mother had everything she needs and wants
- Move back to England and buy a seaside cottage in Cornwall with a little pottery studio in the back garden where I can just throw pots, bake, and be with M all day
- Travel extensively with M so that she can see the world - starting with Ethiopia
- Become a major CHOIR sponsor
- Quit my job and open a little shop (maybe Ye Old Sweete Shoppe, or a flower shop (I know nothing about flowers other than they are pretty), or some other tony but friendly little boutique where I can bring in baked goods** for the patrons and sell my pots on the side)
*After writing this list I realized a million quid doesn't get you much these days. I would have to be a multi-millionaire to do most of this stuff. greedy cow.
**I'm also not sure why the talk about baking in this list. I can't remember the last thing I baked but I enjoy it and can't wait to bake homemade goodies for and with M.
5 Bad Habits:
- Procrastinating (funny how so many of us have this on our list)
- Not taking proper care of my body with a better diet and more exercise
- Taking my loved ones for granted
- Falling asleep on the couch until 2am instead of going to bed at a decent hour
- Not wearing my orthotics around the house and then wondering why I feel crippled when I try to get out of bed every morning (and I walk [and groan] like my late grandmother for the first few minutes until I'm 'warmed up.')
5 Things I Like To Do:
- Daydream
- Read a good book in bed
- Read blogs & surf the web
- Watch DIY and real estate shows on TV
- Laugh out loud at something totally ridiculous
5 Things I Would Never Wear Again:
- A mini skirt
- Acid wash anything
- Boots with a fringe
- Basically, anything I wore in the 80's. Love the decade and the memories though.
- #5? oh, yeah...my heart on my sleeve (1,2 3, "aaaww")
5 Favorite Toys:
- My new red laptop (well, it's not set to arrive until the 10th but it's already my favorite toy)
- My iPod
- My digital camera
- I don't have any other toys (sob)
5 Things I Can't Stand:
- Mean people
- Judgemental people
- Bad drivers - especially those that slow down when they should be speeding up to merge onto a busy road, like the Deerfoot!
- Liars
- Bad cell phone etiquette (People answering their cell phone & taking a call when we are already having a conversation - especially while out for dinner and such. Rude!)
Now it's my turn to tag 5 people. So as not to pressure anyone and to cover all the bases, I tag any of you who haven't done this list yet. Let me know if you do it so I can see your list!
