Fun with Tags from Other Blogs

So…I’m new to this whole tagging thing, but I’ve been tagged by The Tragic Optimist, and since she’s such a great friend, I’ll indulge her. Plus I guess I haven’t blogged in like 2 months so I should get off my rear end and say something, lest you all think I’m a total loser!

I guess the tagging thing works like this: you are posed a list of questions, which you subsequently answer in your blog, then tag some other people. Ugh…answering questions…

Here goes nothing:

What was I doing 10 years ago?

  • Exactly what I am doing right now (weird huh? It’s like I’ve come full circle):
    • being unemployed
    • trying to discover where I fit in in the world
    • trying to motivate myself to get back in shape
  • Graduating college and learning how to live in the “real world”

What are 5 things on my to-do list for today?

  • Work out then go to the pool
  • Cook something really yummy for dinner
  • Apply to two jobs
  • Try not to melt in the blistering heat
  • Update my blogs

Snacks I enjoy….

  • Chips & Salsa or Guacamole
  • Wine (is that a snack?)
  • Blueberries
  • Potato Chips

Things I would do if I were a billionaire:

  • Buy a little place on the beach somewhere
  • Endow a charity to help fund education in rural China
  • Pay off all my debts and the debts of my family
  • Travel around the world doing voluntourism and learning how to cook in kitchens of wonderful people everywhere
  • Move to San Francisco and open a restaurant to help at-risk teenagers learn a trade

Places I have lived:

  • San Diego (the first 18 years...)
  • Northfield, MN (2 addresses, 4 years)
  • Minneapolis, MN (2 addresses, 3 years)
  • Arlington, VA (3 addresses in the same building, 2 1/2 years)
  • Washington, DC (in our first owned home, 2003 - present)
  • Beijing, China (2 addresses, once in college, once at a homestay)
  • Maastricht, the Netherlands (in college)

Jobs I have had:

  • Office Assistant, Financial Aid Office at Carleton
  • Barrista
  • Cashier
  • Project Analyst
  • Marketing Manager
  • International Trade Analyst for the US Government
  • Independent Consultant

Bloggers I’m tagging for this meme…

Hope I did ok on my first meme....

I'm glad you agree wine is a snack...I only wish Weight Watchers did! Yes...I'm back on Weight Watchers - the trip to China in the fall messed up my metabolism and I'm trying to recover my girlish figure :-)
