MeMeMeMeMe

Life can be crazy sometimes…really, stinking crazy.  I have been knitting and sewing though, so more to come with that, if anyone is still ready.  If you are, thank you for being patient with me while I get through some tough stuff.

Thanks to Fig and Plum Jess for the inspiration to at least post something…

1. What was I doing 10 years ago?

Ten years ago would have been June of 1998 and I would have just finished my second year of college.  I was still enrolled as a psychology major, but was seriously considering a big, fat change to philosophy since my sophomore year had been FULL of delicious, thought-provoking philosophy classes, including the one with the alcoholic professor who was absent while he “dealt with his shakingissues.”  Little did I know that I was about to meet my husband who would shortly encourage me to major in business so I could be more “marketable.”  Bless him, otherwise I would have been some hippie living in the park contemplating existentialism and collective consciousness.  At this time I had just left the Disney Store and had just started working for HotelChain, which I stayed with until last July.  I was in a good place, with very little worries.  What wouldn’t I give to go back to that lack of responsibility…

2. Five things on my to-do list today?

• Grocery shopping
• Call my cousin, Jennifer
• Call and wish my FIL a happy birthday.
• Begin “Modern Baby Blanket” pattern.
• 1 Hour of cardio (damned gut)

3.  Snacks I enjoy:

• Licorice, red and black, but must be Red Vines brand
• Brie cheese on slices of Italian bread
• String cheese
• Thick-cut potato chips
• Lots of fruit

4. Things I would do if I were a billionaire (no particular order):

I would quit my job, first and foremost, but I would continue to get my yoga instructor education.  Travel to about 10 countries, including India and Iceland with my husband, mom, dad, and brother.  Set up a trust fund for my niece and nephew’s education as well as for my future kids.  Buy an ocean side home in Maui.  And an apartment in Florence, Italy.  Buy a hybrid car.  Spend my free time helping to get healthy, whole foods in schools and donate a lot of $$ to Revolution Foods.

5. Places I have lived:

• Long Beach CA
• Lakewood CA
• San Pedro CA
• Westminster CA

6.  Jobs I have had:

• Sales person in Lady Foot Locker
• Cast member at Disney Store
• Outdoor vendor at Disneyland
• Front Desk Clerk at HotelChain
• Sales Manager for HotelChain
• Front Desk Manager for HotelChain
