Meme of five
May 25th, 2008I got nothing but a used pile of kleenex and a bad attitude this weekend so you get a meme. It’s been in my drafts for awhile and I don’t remember where it came from originally.
1) What were you doing five years ago?
It was the end of a really ugly time in my life and the beginning of the wonderful life I have now. ‘Nuff said.
2) What are five things on your to-do list for today?
Feed the child, shower self and child, unpack at least one box, go to the grocery store, regain the ability to breath through my nose, stop coughing long enough to sleep for longer than 20 minutes. Wait. That is more than 5.
3) What are five snacks you enjoy?
Pita and hummus
Ice cream
Chocolate
Granola
Cookies
4) What are five things you would do if you were a billionaire?
Set up an organization to give a chunk of it away – that would by my new job, managing the organization.
Travel
Pay off all debt
Give some to family and friends
Find a cure for the common cold – one that pregnant women can take
5) What are five of your bad habits?
Procrastination
Impatience – especially when driving
Not exercising as much as I should
Crankiness when sick
Not keeping the house as clean as I should
6) What are five places you have lived?
Ohio
PA
NJ
Guatemala
TN
7) What are five jobs you have had?
* Worked in an ice cream shop
* County road crew – shoveled 15 tons of gravel a day for $5 an hour (no I’m not bitter)
* Case manager for Big Brothers Big Sisters
* Legal advocate for a domestic violence shelter and drug & alcohol halfway house for women
* Facilitated partial hospitalization program groups for adolescents and toddlers (not at once – they were in different groups)

I just came across your blog from a comment on Miz Fit’s blog. I totally agree with you about the mushy food thing (baby food for adults being a stoopid idea!). Also, the pics of your daughter on the lower blogs are *soooooooooooo* cute!
Best wishes for your own weight loss journey,

I hope you feel better soon. Colds are the worst. I cannot imagine not being able to take cold medicine. No decongenstant – UGH. I am feeling so sorry for you right now. I hope you get a shower and feel better.
