Writing My Way Out

I've been tagged by Jordan at The Wonderwheel. Thanks Jordan, for helping me out of my writing slump!

The rules:
A. The rules are posted at the beginning
B. Answer the questions about yourself
C. Tag 5 people, let them know in a comment on their blogs that they have been tagged.


What were you doing 10 yrs ago?
Ten years ago I was a month away from meeting my husband. I lived and worked in a large urban area as a magazine designer. The only children in my life were my nieces and nephew and they lived in the (gasp) suburbs. Ten years ago I did not want to get married or have children. Obviously I don't know that person anymore.

Snacks I enjoy:
Chips and chocolate. Not together.

Five things on my to-do list today:
1. Meet with client
2. Work on project (babysitter here today)
3. Bank
4. Post Office
5. Laundry

Things I would do if I became a billionaire:
I would:
...not worry about every single job I do or do not get.
...stop appealing every denied claim from our health insurance company.
...instead hire a lawyer to fight for us.
...start a fund for those not covered by insurance.
...find the best school/program for my boys and not care about the cost.
...start a magazine that celebrates people with autism.

3 bad habits:
1. Procrastinator
2. Pack-rat (although I love to purge)
3. Eating the entire Chipotle burrito instead of saving half for tomorrow

5 places I have lived:
1. Fort Lauderdale, Florida
2. Denver, Colorado
3. Granada, Spain
4. Arlington, Massachusetts
5. Dover, New Hampshire

Jobs I have had:
1. Waitress
2. Cashier
3. Hostess
4. Windsurfing instructor
5. Graphic designer

Things people don't know about me:
1. I had perfect vision until two years ago when I suddenly needed glasses to read. And see.
2. I was an extra in the movie "Forrest Gump".
3. Worms completely freak me out. When it rains? It's hard for me to go outside.
4. I'm fluent in Spanish.
5. I hate milk.

Instead of tagging five people, I leave it open. If you feel like participating, leave a comment and direct us there!

Wow. This is cool. I can honestly say that I enjoyed learning these things about you. A graphic designer? I've worked my whole life in magazines (editing/writing)...wonder if we know any people in common?

Anyway, thanks for sharing!

The worms thing. I totally relate. If someone is holding a worm, I have this irrational fear that they're going to throw it at me. I can't even be near them.

I'm from Concord, New Hampshire. Nice to see someone from the blogging world lived close to me.
