Knitting Passion

I’ve been tagged by Miss Piggy! She has up and tagged me for a me-me. Soooooooooooo - here we go:

1. What were you doing 10 years ago (1998)?
Oh, my goodness! I’m not always sure what I did ten MINUTES ago, let alone ten years ago. Let’s see . . . 1998 - I am positive I was making gooshy gramma faces to the grandbabies - or tickling their toes - or chasing them around the yard through the sprinkler - yup, I’m a gramma deep, deep down at heart.

2. 5 Things on todays “to do” lis:
well, the day is drawing to a close, but you’ll be reading this Wednesday - so, let’s see.
a) wake up and go to the pool first thing - laps
b) complete the paperwork from the class I co-facilitate on Tuesday night -
c) complete May’s stats
d) complete my portion of a grant for work
e) cover the desk for the receptionist so she can have some personal time in the afternoon.

then, an added f) come home, fix dinner, and try to get some knitting done.

3. Things I’d do if I were a billionaire:
a) give back to the Lord what He had graciously given to me
b) pay off both daughter’s and our houses
c) set up education funds for the 7 grandkiddos
d) buy two new cars - probably Saturns
e) invest for the future!!!! (cos I’m not getting any younger, friends!)

4. 3 Bad Habits
WHOSE bad habits? Moi? Nahhhhhhhhhh
oh, wait . . . I guess that is number 1) not seeing my own faults - even when those close to me tell me what they are.
2) I tend to put myself down and not see my true worth (ooooh - inner reflection!)
3) Like Ms. Piggy - I eat when I’m not necessarily hungry

5. 5 Places I’ve lived
okay, this is a little harder - I’ve only lived in two towns and two states in my 58 years: so, going backwards:
a) Kenai, Alaska - we’ve been in this house 29 years
b) Cannery Road - SeaCatch fish processing plant. Stayed there our first 9 months in Alaska
c) far east side Columbus Ohio - bought a house there after my Mom died - getting away from the lower west side with all the familial memories and pathos.
d) west side Columbus Ohio - little pink house we bought before youngest daughter was born
e) upper half of a duplex on west side Columbus Ohio - moved there 6 months after we got married - had oldest daughter while we lived there - crazy downstairs neighbor.

6. 5 jobs I’ve had
Education & Training Coordinator
co-facilitator Batterers Intervention Program
Volunteer Coordinator
Receptionist
pre-school teacher
and, number SIX - da bestest gramma in the world (to my grandbabies!)

I will skip the tagging - if you’d like to do this, please comment and let me know you’ve done so.

Thanks, Ms. Piggy - it was fun.
