What Was I Doing Ten Years Ago?
Same damned thing I’m doing now. Oh wait, ten years ago, I was living in a one-bedroom apartment in Manhattan, with my husband and two cats but no child. Otherwise, same damned thing. Don't get me wrong - I have a great job. I've just been doing it for twelve years and I need a sabbatical.
Five Things on My To-Do List Today:
Fix M.’s bad haircut (which isn't really that bad)- See about renewing the homeowner’s policy for less money
Write a note to the minister’s wife- Plant the tomatoes I bought over a week ago
Thank Mary Ann for the cool magnets
- Peanut butter on rice cakes
- Cheez Doodles
- Bagel chips
- Popcorn
- Cheese
- Pay off the mortgage
- Take a sabbatical
- Fund Miss M.’s college savings account
- Put some money away for retirement
- Use most of it (like $998 million) to set up a private foundation to provide support to small to mid-sized non-profits working on social, educational, cultural and environmental issues - and anything else that strikes my lefty-commie-pinko heart.
- Camp Lejeune, NC (but I don’t remember any of it)
- New Haven, CT (ditto on the remembering)
- A Long Island suburb of NYC
- Wellesley, MA
- New York, NY (3 apartments in 21 years)
- A northern suburb of NYC
Ha, nice try, but I have done this already (which is great - I can just point to it and Voila! done!)
ReplyDeleteWe only have one cross-over location (I was born in NYC), but as I am omnivorous, I would pretty much eat any of the snacks you mention, plus worse.
Mmm, bagel chips. I could use a sabbatical, too.
ReplyDeleteMy lefty-commie-pinko heart likes your list.
ReplyDeleteGosh! I've never been tagged before. Thanks! (I think)
ReplyDeleteNew Haven, CT scares me...as does most of CT...too many ghosts!
ReplyDeleteThis was fun!
ReplyDeleteI hink I just pooped me pants...that was me there...does that mean I'm tagged (kicking shoe at dust) I was just enjoying learning about you!
ReplyDeleteWellesley to go to Wellesley?
ReplyDeleteokiedokie. still having internet-eating moments over here, but it's up there. thank you for including me.
ReplyDeleteLove the snack list! I seem to have been doing the same thing for ten solid years now too. Ha. My favorite snack would be cheese popcorn. Cannot leave it alone.
ReplyDeleteHEY! I lived in Sudbury, MA, and went to high school there. Small world, eh? :)
ReplyDeleteA BILLION dollars? I would have all of my teeth gold-coated. And the good gold, too, not the crappy kind.
ReplyDeleteWellesley, MA? Was that college, by chance? Very pretty there, but very pricy.
ReplyDeleteHey! Go plant those tomatoes!
ReplyDelete(meanwhile, I have 200 rotting bulbs in my garage still waiting to be replanted from over a month ago. but they don't taste good on pizza, anyway.).
I want you to get that billion dollars.
ReplyDeletehey again... I have to delete the post in which I participate in this meme. typepad issues and more. apologies.
ReplyDeleteart and farms, though. yes. that's the gist. and cheez-its and guacamole (not together).
