Me me me Meme

Yay, Me Meme. Tagged by Samantha over at Knit Quest.

The rules; Each player answers the questions about themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5-6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.

1. What was I doing 10 years ago?

Ten years ago I was a book buyer for Borders, living in Ann Arbor, MI. I had no kids and so I spent all of my free time going to R rated movies, riding my mountain bike in the woods, having dinner parties, and reading books with no pictures.

2. What are 5 things on my to-do list for today (not in any particular order)?

Unfortunately, my mother did not pass her list-making genes on to me.
1. Drink coffee - must top the list in order for the list to even get started.
2. Try to get kid to school on time, hopefully with a belly full of breakfast and without wasting precious valuable fuel.
3. Find boy child a new-to-me bike that will take him to the next level of bicycling without training wheels.
4. Teach a little girl how to use a spool knitter. I couldn't find my spool knitter so I made one using a sturdy cardboard tube, popsicle sticks, glue and duct tape and I am very proud of myself.
5. Take kids to gymnastics during which I will finish tech editing Amy's knitting patterns - yes, I really am breaking free from editing patterns that only involve a hook!

3. Snacks I enjoy.
salted edamame
brie and baguette
coffee
buttered toast and plain yogurt with honey and fruit (hmmm I think I'll have some now)
hummus and pita with olive oil and paprika.
