Thanks so much for the help. This is fun! I found the rules and here they are:
1. The rules of the game get posted at the beginning.
2. Each player answers the questions about themselves.
3. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 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.

1) What was I doing 10 yrs ago?

I was living in a trailer in the woods in Amherst County, Virginia, working in a co-curricular life at a woman’s college in a job created for me by one of the deans. Which was quite brave of her, considering I have only a partially completely bachelors degree and a partially completed masters.

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

1. prepare Wednesday’s author interview.
2. be home when the vet shows up to treat my aged Head Cat.
3. Do 30 minutes on the elliptical, lift weights, and stretch.
4. pay the mortgage (such a pleasure for anyone who’s been a practicing drunk.)
5. eat dinner with Charlie and try to stay awake long enough to watch a movie

3) Snacks I enjoy:

Bananas, oranges, folded-over potato chips, and sugar-free fudge sauce on crackers

4) Things I would do if I were a billionaire:

Oh golly, can I decline? All the people I’ve known who’ve got a lot of money seem to be obsessed with either owning things or doing things that cost a lot. I really, really just like hanging out as I am now.

5) Three of my bad habits:

1. Doing too much
2. Doing more than too much
3. Doing one more thing after I’ve done more than too much

6) 5 places I have lived:

1. Greensboro, N.C.
2. East Northfield, Mass.
3. Houston, Texas
4. Charlottesville, Virginia
5. Singers Glen, Virginia

7) 5 jobs I have had:

1. Restaurant owner (and chief cook)
2. Summer Stock actor
3. T.V. Talk show host
4. Convenience store clerk
5. public radio reporter

5 peeps I wanna know more about:

1. Syd
2. Kathy Lynne (gotcha!)
3. Shadow
4. Molly
5. Michael
