meme

I have never done a MEME before on this blog. This one caught my eye from lotsofscotts.blogspot.com (super, adorable mom of triplets):
What were you doing 10 years ago?
I was divorced from my current husband (yes, we got re-married), living in a little rent house with my three year old daughter. I owned my own business and worked very minimal hours in order to keep my daughter out of daycare. I lived very simply, spent a lot of quality time with my little girl and was totally empowered by the experience because I learned that I could take care of myself.
Favorite Snacks: Right now ... Fresh Cherries. Yum! I also love nectarines, watermelon, cantelope, and grapes. You'd think I was a twig with all that fruit love I have going. Unfortunately, I also love Sunchips, cookies (those right bites or whatever ... I think it might defeat the purpose when you eat six little bags in one sitting. ya think?), and Dr. Pepper.
To Do List:
I HATE todo lists. Every summer morning as a teenager, I would awaken to the phone ringing (at about 8:30). It was my mother saying, "There is a list on your dresser. You're not doing anything until it's done." I swore right then and there that I would never make lists for myself or my children. However, now that I have three children and in recent months I have forgotten to be places where I was supposed to be on more than one occassion, I am considering considering writing lists. But I'm against 'em, I tell ya.
Jobs I Have Had:
Babysitter, Swim Instructor, Chiropractic Assistant, Receptionist at a health club, Student worker at the University Fiscal Office, Student Worker in the English Department, Graduate Assistant in the Development Office, Administrative Assistant, Nutritionist/Business Owner, Teacher at Mother's Day Out, Sales Associate at Children's Boutique, Sales Associate at Women's Boutique, Mamasita
Bad Habits:
Not planning my meals and eating whatever is available instead, Not writing down what I'm supposed to be doing, Procrastinating on my housework, Watching TV, Eating snacks instead of healthy meals
Random Things People May Not Know:
I am not afraid to get up and speak in front of a group, but I have a VERY hard time approaching new people and making friends, My Granny and I argued almost every time we were together, but I miss her every day now that she is gone, I always thought I would either be a Chiropractor or a Lawyer when I grew up and I am not doing either, I was scared to death to have two boys, but I totally dig it
CDs I would want if stranded on an island:
Steve Miller Band (greatest hits), Dixie Chicks (all), Garth Brooks (everything before he became Chris Gaines), Forest Gump Soundtrack
What I'd Do if I Were a Billionaire:Furnish my empty house and sell it, buy a house on at least an acre with plenty of room for my boys to ride bikes and have fun, hire a personal trainer, hire a personal chef, ditch my beat-up truck and purchase a vehicle that will fit all of my children and their friends, pay for Tyler's college education (thankyou Nana and Papa ... Lindsey and Trey's is covered), donate to lots of charities.
Feel free to play too Y'all, I mean You!
