Back at the drawing board . . .

Moving is hard work! But I am settling into a routine, and greatly enjoying life further in-land than I have ever lived. Because "everyone's doing it" I thought I would add my answers to the infamous "tagged" quiz. Promise to write more later; must dash.

10 years ago I was... the only kid disappointed that the school year was being delayed (private school) due to unfinished construction. But that year was the best and second worst of my life!

5 years ago i was... embarking on my senior year of college. Struggling to discern God’s will – law school? Grad school? Work?

1 year ago I was... frantically looking for a job, any job!

Yesterday i was... hard at work, researching, reading, writing, and editing; had dinner with my Mom and watched some television.

5 songs i know all the words to... anything in Les Miserables (yes, it’s scary), Cry Me A River (as sung by Harry Connick, Jr.), Amazing Grace (1st, 3rd, and 4th verses only, I’m a good Baptist – okay, I confess I know the 2nd and 5th verses, too), The Man I Love (and assorted other Ella Fitzgerald singing the Gershwins songs), and Money, Money, Money (surprised you, didn’t I?)

5 things i would do with 100 million dollars... pay off my debt; purchase homes for my mom and me; pay off my friends’ school debts; rent a villa in Tuscany and pay for others to come visit the neighboring villa; buy a flat in London – near the British Library.

5 places i would run away to.... Virginia; London; Prague; Strasbourg; Wales

5 things i would never wear... boots (don’t mind them on others, I just don’t like them on me); polka dots; paisley; clothes that advertise products; a size 0

5 favorite tv shows... of all time? “Get Smart”; “Mission: Impossible” (the early years with Martin Landau); “House, M.D.” (the ever-caustic Hugh Laurie is much preferred to the Bumbling Bertie Wooster); “The Dick Van Dyke Show” (classic!); “Quantum Leap” (not as much now, but there was a time…)

5 bad habits... Living in my head rather than in reality; Not speaking up when I should; Letting my nerves get the best of me; Worrying about what other people think more than what God thinks; Cracking my knuckles (I know, it’s disgusting; I need to stop!)

5 biggest joys.... Getting my mom to smile; Watching a baby sleep or a child play; discovering something new; hearing from my friends; listening to a great song

5 favorite toys.... Piano; Computer; Journal; Library card (assuming I also get the library); TiVo (I prefer ReplayTV actually, but you get the idea)

5 people I tag to do this (if they'd like to)... Mom, Vicki, Lindsey, Sarah, and Random blog site visitor.
