Megan tagged me with this a little over a week ago, and I thought it was past time to play along.  So, in case you didn’t learn enough about me on my 100th post … here’s more!!

1) What was I doing 10 years ago?
It was the summer after my freshman year of college.  My parents moved to PA so I was spending the summer with them and preparing to transfer from Towson University to Slippery Rock Univeristy.  My parents were in the process of building a new home so we were living in the basement while they were building the upstairs.  I had two summer jobs that year… I worked at a nursing home (one of the toughest and most rewarding jobs I’ve ever had) and I also worked as a waitress at a country club.  It was a tough summer.  My boyfriend (future hubby Scott) was in MD, I was in PA, and I had no friends in PA.  I pretty much just worked a ton to save for college.

2) What are 5 things on my to-do list for today?
1.Help at VBS– I have to leave the house by 8 am (with all 3 kids)  YIKES!

  1. I really, really need  to start on my scrapbook for my baby… her party is in 11 days and I keep putting it off… I think it just seems so big I don’t know how to start.

  2. Run

  3. Do laundry  (You all know how good I am at crossing that off my list)

  4. Tidy up kitchen and living room

5.  Take care of some of my MOPS responsibilities before our steering meeting next week.

3) Snacks I enjoy:
OREOS , ice cream, grapes, cereal, toast with home made strawberry jam on it, cookies and milk

4) Things I would do if I were a billionaire: In no particular order…
*have a ton of fun finding organizations to donate to–particularly helping the poor and impoverished in the world, and the homeless in the US as those are two causes my husband and I feel strongly about.

  • get waterfront property

  • buy my husband a sailboat

  • get NFL season package so I could watch all the Steelers games

*hmmm throw in the big screen, high def TV too

  • and maybe get season tickets to go watch the games with my hubby and my parents

*send the kids to private school

  • adopt several kids

  • TRAVEL LOTS— go to Europe, Hawaii, see all the National Parks in the US– including in the Samoas

5) Places I have lived:

(funny how full circle my life went… I was born in western Pa lived there till I was in Kindergarten, then my parents moved to MD…I remember being devasted at moving so far from my grandparents and all my cousins… then the summer before my freshman year of college, my parents decided to move back to PA and I followed them after my freshman year… their house was 1/2 mile down the street from their first house)  When I got married my husband and I moved to Anne Arundel County MD.
