I'm IT!

So, I got "tagged." Nearly a month ago.
But I'm finally fulfilling my responsibilities!!

"I've Been Tagged" Rules: Answer these 8 questions and tag 5 people.

1. What was I doing 10 years ago?

That would have been the summer after my sophomore year in college.
I was living in California, working as an Environmental Education Intern at a National Wildlife Refuge outside San Francisco. I did field trips and then put together and ran week-long day camps for elementary school aged children. I lived on the refuge in a trailer. It was a great experience!

2. Five things on my to do list?

Catch up on all the emails I haven't replied to
Send a birthday card to my friend Kim
Finish the laundry (now that my washing machine's been fixed!)
Read the book I'm supposed to finish by next Wednesday for book club
Figure out what I'm going to make for supper...

3. Snacks I enjoy?

Ice cream!
Popcorn
Chocolate
Really, just about anything that's not good for you...

4. If I were a Billionaire what would I do?

Hire someone to clean my house for me every week
Get a babysitter just to have some time to myself
Buy my husband his dream car (Porshe 911 Turbo)
Buy us a nice (but not ridiculous) house
Put some aside for children's college tuition and for the future
Find something worthwhile to do with the rest of it

5. Three Bad Habits?

Staying up later than I should
Getting into a book and then not doing the other things I should be doing
Procrastinating (hence the month delay in this posting...)

6. Places I've lived?

Wisconsin
Michigan
California
Utah
Illinois
England

7. Five jobs I've had?

Witch at a pumpkin farm: junior high school
Library Page: high school (yes, that's actually what the name of the job was...)
GIS intern: college
Cartographer: after college
Mother/Homemaker: now

8. Five things many people don't know about me?

I like fantasy books (a lot)
I broke my nose as a kid
I ran track in junior high and high school (but badly)
I played French horn (also not very well)
I love the smell of musty basements

The five people I'm now tagging are:
Angela R.
Cathy D.
Corrina D.
Holli K.
Liz S.

You're IT!!!!!!!
