A Meme...

In reponse to Lizzie Wychwood, here is my Meme...

1. What was I doing 10 years ago?
In 1998 I was married to my now ex-husband and I was pregnant with my first child and working in my muggle law firm with my dad and brother. I played lots of tennis and was knitting at the time in anticipation of my first baby but not too much. We lived in Tarpon Springs, Florida, famous for its Greek community and natural sponge industry.

2. What are 5 things on my to-do list today?
(a)Lunch appointment regarding a service organization's annual literacy projects(Rotary);
(b)Finalize a much hashed over commercial lease for a client;
(c) Work on the "handmade" item for my spoilee (Electra the Enchanting);
(d) Pick up kids at camp and head them to swim practice; and
(e) Wash car inside and out.

There is more including take some pictures of some recent acquisitions for Ravelry and get kid's calendar done for their summer activities. And there is more but unless someone can help it would be better to stop listing them and just start working on the list.

3. Snacks I enjoy...
I guess chocolate is not a snack, but it is the best of course. I also love nuts, fruit, cheese, peanut butter, and other stuff that is kind of good for you. I am on a health kick currently (chocolate is full of antioxidants, right?)

4. Things I would do if I were a billionaire...
I would buy someone that needed help a home. I would pay all bills and get a bit larger home myself. I would let my husband pick something he wanted to do--retire, encourage a dream, hobby, etc. I would make time for wonderful travel as often as we needed it. I would donate money where I thought it would make a big impact. I would help my children to study or work in the field they dreamed to study/work in. I would buy a fuel efficient car like a hybrid or a mini.


5. Places I've lived..
Dunedin, Tarpon Springs and Clearwater, Florida; South Hadley, Massachusetts, St. Andrews, Scotland, Madison, Wisconsin, Chicago, Illinois
I would love to live in Umbria (Italy)

6. Jobs I've had...
Baby-sitter,Tennis Coach/Instructor,Law Clerk/Gopher,Behind the counter ice cream scooper at Haagen Dazs, Intern at the U.S. Attorney's Office Southern District of New York, Summer Associate for the U.S. Postal Service Law Department, Attorney, Business Owner, Landlord, Board Chair, Soccer Mom, Tee-Ball Team Manager, and Junior League President. Yes, I am also a mother, wife, sister, daughter but that just isn't a job.

7. Peeps I want to know more about...
I love reading the Memes that have been posted. I particularly want to hear from Miilicent Brocklehurst, Electra the Enchanting (my lovely spoilee) and Ceciley Fortescue (my spoiler). I enjoy everyone's blogs from all the houses. I hope all Gryffindors especially post a Meme. Please do not feel obligated however. Although I have magical charms and powers at my disposal, this is not a chain letter and no horrible fate will occur if you don't post a Meme. Now off to work on that "to do" list.
