Tag! I'm it!

Heidi (heidibeads.blogspot.com) tagged me for a meme running around the blogs.

1. What was I doing 10 years ago?

Jeez, I'm having a hard time remembering.
Terry and I had just celebrated our fourth wedding anniversary, the Library of Virginia (where I work) was still getting used to the new building, and my brother was getting ready to be married. I had started beading the fall before and just discovered the Bead Society of Southeastern Virginia (www.bssv.org), but I hadn't started birding or bellydancing. I hadn't been diagnosed diabetic - that would come in the fall. Ouch, I just remembered - I was either in the middle of, recuperating, from or about to end up in the hospital because of a bout with Reiter's syndrome a.k.a. infectious arthritis. That's how I met my current PCP, who diagnosed the diabetes.

2. What are 5 things on my to-do list for today (not in any particular order).
Birdwatching with the Williamburg Bird Club (didn't make it) http://williamsburgbirdclub.org/index.php
Update this blog! Whoo hoo!
Work on Beading for a Cure project. http://www.beadingforacure.org/
Clean out car (not in this heat!)
Clean out backpack (hmmm...maybe)
Go to the bank and go visit the evil empire (Walmart -shudder)

3. Snacks, I enjoy?
Unfortunately, I've yet to find a carbohydrate I didn't love!
Any kind of salty chip, dark chocolate, raisins, bananas, grapes, greek style yoguart (yea! Trader Joe's), nuts and cheese are probably my main list.

4. Things I would do if I were a billionaire?
Whenever I daydream of winning the lottery I always come up with:
Invest some (includes paying off debt)
Spend some (Hybrid car! Beads! Bead shop! New Kitchen!)
Give some away (Nature Conservancy, Chesapeake Bay Foundation, Friends of the Blue Ridge, Unitarian Universalist Association, Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation)

5. Places I have lived?
Hampton, VA
Richmond, VA
Newport News, VA
Williamsburg, VA
Takoma Park, MD
and back to Williamsburg
rather dull...

Who will I tag? I don't know. Stay tuned.

Not so dull, I have lived in the same town all my life. I wouldn't know what to do anywhere else. We used to visit Williamsburg when my husband was able to travel and we enjoyed it very much.
