Ack! I've been Tagged!

Oh, yes; I've barely gotten my feet wet, and here I am learning all about meme tags. Heaven forbid that it be I who breaks the chain, so here, forthwith, are my honest and true answers to *melanie*earthenwood , who tagged me.

What were you doing 10 years ago? Ten years ago I was living in North Carolina and had returned to college 25 years after high school graduation. I was totally at home studying natural resources at the College of Forestry, NCSU

What were you doing 1 year ago? Exactly one year ago I was deciding whether to have surgery on my neck to replace two compressed disks. I was doing PT for that and a torn rotator disk and was ordered not to do any gardening. In July a year ago I had it done and never looked back; best decision I ever made.

Five snacks you enjoy: stovetop popcorn made with corn oil, no butter, lots of salt; chocolate; strawberries in season with brown sugar and sour cream; red grapefruit; GORP

Five songs to which you know all the lyrics: Okay, I'll admit it: "Stairway to Heaven", "Desperado", anything by Michael Franks (just about), ummmm, "The Star Spangled Banner", ummmm, ummmmm, hmmmm.... lots of REM songs; am I showing my age yet?

Five things you would do if you were a millionaire: Fund my grandson's college education; fund our retirement so my husband could retire right now; buy a little house in Johnstown and set up a bead shop/artist studio co-op; give some to my kids; and finally, give some to my favorite charities.

Five bad habits: Not exercising or taking care of myself; eating for the wrong reasons; obsessing over unreachable goals; procrastinating; leaving my clothes on the floor.

Five things you like doing: playing with clay; spending time with my husband; walking around the pond with Ethan, my grandson; visiting Raleigh, NC and catching up with my kids and friends; walking in the woods at any time of year; gardening; sewing. Oh, that's more than five, but who's counting?

Five things you would never wear again: a bikini; a business suit; hot pants; hair dye; a wedding dress.

Five favorite toys: Legos; crayons; Play-doh; the blocks my husband made for Ethan; a rubber ball.
