Kath tagged me today.
Living in Portland, raising a two-year-old, moving house, basically going crazy. I was a stay-home mom of a hair-raising toddler, lonely, with little adult interaction or friends. Miserable.
Two Bad habits:
1) I'll wash and dry laundry and then let it sit in massive piles for all of eternity, or at least until my kids complain of having to dive for clean socks. Then I just yell at them to do their own damn laundry.
2) I eat while watching TV and while on the computer. Gotta stop that!!
Three places I have lived:
1) Bellingham, Washington
2) Beaumont, Texas (ya'all)
3) Portland, Oregon
Four jobs I have had:
1) At a very slow drycleaners. I got to listen to music and burn incense and talk on the phone for three hours per day. And get paid for it.
2) 10-plex movie theater box office. We had midnight showings in the summer, a legitimate excuse to stay out late. Much later than my job required, but mom and dad didn't know that ;-)
3) Mailroom at a massive Law firm. It was incredibly boring, but the hours were good and it paid well. Did I say it was boring? And redundant ;-)
4) Mom!
Five snacks I enjoy:
1) Chocolate mint
2) Dark Chocolate
3) Milk Chocolate
4) Chocolate and peanut butter in any form
5) Diet Coke (well I have to make up for all that chocolate somewhere)
Six things on my to-do list:
1) Laundry
2) Dishes
3) Bills
4) Clean the bathrooms
5) Resurrect my French. I used to be fluent...but it has faded with disuse.
6) Learn to fly a small plane (didn't see that one coming, did ya?)
Seven things I would do if I became a billionaire (!) :
1) Give away about $995 million or so
2) Pay off the mortgage
3) Buy a plane
4) Get my teeth and eyes fixed
5) Go, well, anywhere the year-round temperature is at least 70F and there are palm trees. Have to be palm trees. Oh, and ocean.
6) Hire a maid
7) Buy my dream car: A mid-60's Karmann Ghia vert. In pink. Or black with pink interior, or...wait...well, do I have to choose the color right now?
Eight things people don't (often) know about me:
1) I hate buying gifts and cards. I'm a perfectionist, and no matter what I buy/make for you, it won't ever be good enough for me. I sometimes pretend to forget people's birthdays for this reason.
2) I have set foot in 20 US States, and plan to see them all. Even if it's as an old woman, tooling around in my late-model motorhome. Wearing purple, of course.
3) I am NOT a morning person. There's a heart of a night owl calling...my totem is an Owl.
4) I hate mold. As in I will run away from it, screaming. Mold is my spiders. How I ever got to be a mother is beyond me.
5) Music is my boyfriend.
6) I was going to be an astronaut. Oh, 'cept my grades weren't good enough and I suck at math. But hey, I'm not dead yet.
7) I have seen a jackalope. Really. I even had my picture taken with it.
8) I don't sing. Ever. Well, except in jest, or as an example of what NOT to do. Yeah, I used to lip-sync in church. Cause I'm a faker, ya know? I can't carry a tune in a tin can. Or a bucket. To save my life.
