Meme of Randomnicity

Okay, okay. Scribbletown’s Fresh Hell tagged me for another meme – and I’m with her – no stinkin’ rules. Besides, how hard is it to figure out rules?

What Was I Doing Ten Years Ago?
Same damned thing I’m doing now. Oh wait, ten years ago, I was living in a one-bedroom apartment in Manhattan, with my husband and two cats but no child. Otherwise, same damned thing. Don't get me wrong - I have a great job. I've just been doing it for twelve years and I need a sabbatical.

Five Things on My To-Do List Today:

  1. Fix M.’s bad haircut (which isn't really that bad)
  2. See about renewing the homeowner’s policy for less money
  3. Write a note to the minister’s wife
  4. Plant the tomatoes I bought over a week ago
  5. Thank Mary Ann for the cool magnets
Snacks I Enjoy:
  • Peanut butter on rice cakes
  • Cheez Doodles
  • Bagel chips
  • Popcorn
  • Cheese
Things I’d Do If I Had A Billion Dollars (which is A LOT of money):
  • Pay off the mortgage
  • Take a sabbatical
  • Fund Miss M.’s college savings account
  • Put some money away for retirement
  • Use most of it (like $998 million) to set up a private foundation to provide support to small to mid-sized non-profits working on social, educational, cultural and environmental issues - and anything else that strikes my lefty-commie-pinko heart.
Places I’ve Lived:
  • Camp Lejeune, NC (but I don’t remember any of it)
  • New Haven, CT (ditto on the remembering)
  • A Long Island suburb of NYC
  • Wellesley, MA
  • New York, NY (3 apartments in 21 years)
  • A northern suburb of NYC

Ha, nice try, but I have done this already (which is great - I can just point to it and Voila! done!)

We only have one cross-over location (I was born in NYC), but as I am omnivorous, I would pretty much eat any of the snacks you mention, plus worse.

Mmm, bagel chips. I could use a sabbatical, too.

New Haven, CT scares me...as does most of CT...too many ghosts!

Love the snack list! I seem to have been doing the same thing for ten solid years now too. Ha. My favorite snack would be cheese popcorn. Cannot leave it alone.

HEY! I lived in Sudbury, MA, and went to high school there. Small world, eh? :)

Beck said...

A BILLION dollars? I would have all of my teeth gold-coated. And the good gold, too, not the crappy kind.

Wellesley, MA? Was that college, by chance? Very pretty there, but very pricy.

Furrow said...

Hey! Go plant those tomatoes!

(meanwhile, I have 200 rotting bulbs in my garage still waiting to be replanted from over a month ago. but they don't taste good on pizza, anyway.).

Julia said...

I want you to get that billion dollars.

hey again... I have to delete the post in which I participate in this meme. typepad issues and more. apologies.

art and farms, though. yes. that's the gist. and cheez-its and guacamole (not together).
