I'm It

I've been tagged by my friend Jill so here goes:

What was I doing ten years ago?

May of 1998. The Italian and I had just recently bought our house, I was working for the evil empire (no, not that evil empire, that one) and hating almost every minute of it. I realized that even though I was doing a job that I was good at and paid well for I couldn't stand the shallow, pointlessness of what I did, and I was too young to contemplate spending the rest of my working life doing something I hated just because of the paycheck.

We didn't yet have kids, although we had two cats. At that point I was spinning and weaving, in addition to knitting, although the fore-mentioned soul-sucking job didn't leave me with much time to do anything other than work and commute. At least the weekends were mostly free. I used to think I didn't have enough free time - little did I know what having kids would be like!

Five things on my to-do list for today:

Well it's close to the end of today but there's a lot left to do:
feed the family
get the kids to bed
clean up the kitchen
read some more of John Adams by David McCullough
hang out with my man
fold laundry
put away groceries
(oops, that's more than five)

Snacks I enjoy:

Popcorn, pretzels, fruit (especially berries)

Things I would do if I were a billionaire:

End world hunger, cure AIDS, spread peace and harmony...
Come on, this is kind of a pain in the a** question. Are we talking about what I would do for my family, or the world? I'd love to travel more, spend more time with my kids, all that good stuff.

Places I have lived:

Bedford, MA; Carlisle, MA; Santa Cruz, CA; Providence, RI; Belmont, MA; Menlo Park, CA

Nobody. Do it if you want to, just leave me a comment so I can look!
