1. What was I doing 10 years ago?
Ten years ago I had made the decision to leave public school teaching to be a full time mom at home with my children. It was a difficult decision as I loved teaching young children very much. I ended up tutoring children in my home a year or so after I left school. I loved working with kids in academic touble and helping them feel good about their school studies. Working one on one with children was very rewarding as well.
2. What are 5 things on my to-do list for today (not in any particular order):
1. Go get some special fabric for the "bride". I am working on some secret stuff...
2. I have a neutral Bloomin Nine Patch quilt on my bed, which is King Size and the quilt is as big as the HOUSE...it needs to be washed so I'm going to find a laundry mat (YUK!) and wash it in one of those giant washers they usually have.
3. Redraft a quilt block for a new design I'm working on...Love the design but the #'s for the cutting need some work. Will post the quilt when it is all worked out.
4. Get myself to the Y and swim and ride the recumbant bike...still working on the new bionic knee.
5. Get a pedicure (probably won't happen). Read the current book I'm into "When Crickets Cry" Hey maybe I could take the book and read while getting the pedi...(probably won't happen either!)

3. Snacks I enjoy:
Without a doubt POPCORN....not microwave either..Popped in peanut oil ! YUMMMMMY. Debbie says we have Popcorn elbow not tennis elbow. I think she is right.
4. Things I would do if I were a billionaire:
Well first I would say that I really am a billionaire. At the risk of sounding sappy. I have everything I NEED and a WHOLE LOT OF WHAT I WANT. I am married to the best guy on the planet and I have two fantastic daughters. I am blessed beyond what I could possibly describe here...that being said I will answer the question:
1. Make sure my children were financially secure for the rest of their lives.
2. Give a ton of $$$ to Ovarian Cancer and Lung Cancer which took both my parents.
3. I would have lasik surgery (teehee)
4. Find someone in real need and donate some $$$ anonymously
5. Let my husband who has ALWAYS put me and the girls above himself and his own personal wish list decide what to do with the rest.
5. Peeps I want to know more about:

Thanks for playing tag! I love reading how different folks answer the same questions. My mother used to make popcorn in a big Magnalite pot for our afternoon snack. I have a pot I use for popcorn too. Time to take it out and make a batch:)
Take care!
