Yeah! I’ve been tagged!

I was telling Barb, who tagged me, that I think this is the first time I’ve been tagged since I’ve been blogging for 2.5 years.  Ok, so here goes.

1.  What was I doing 10 years ago?

Oh wow!  In 1998, my oldest Brother, Daniel, died suddenly a day before my birthday.  I was in Cape May, NJ, vactionaing with friends when I heard the news.  It was a pretty rough year, because shortly after that my father started showing signs of dementia.  Can’t remember much else about 1998.

2.  What are five (non-work) thinks on my to-do list today?

– Go to Border’s to return two books that I bought and can’t imagine why I ever did.

– Pay bills

– Crochet

– Watch season finale of “Lost”

– read my romance novel

3.  Snacks I enjoy:

–  red seedless grapes (see, I can be good)

– original Wheat Thins (with all the salt) with strawberry cream cheese

– Pop Secret popcorn (at least the first one was healthy)

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

– start some kind of foundation to give some of that money away.

– buy a house somewhere in Ahuimanu Hills, furnished to the max with a big flat screen tv.

– buy a fuel-efficient or hybrid car (just ’cause I’m rich doesn’t mean I can’t be “green”).

– pay off my and my daughter’s student loan debt

– write the book I’ve been trying to write for 15 years

– buy a whole lotta yarn and the means to organize it.

5. Places I have lived:

– Washington, DC; Maryland; Hawaii (boy, was I so provincial until a year and a half ago!)

6. Jobs I have had:

– research assistant at the Center for Applied Linguistics

– Clerk typist, EEO Specialist, Personnel Management Specialist, Employee Development Specialist (all government jobs).

– Contractor/consultant (I got out of the government only to have the government as my main client)

– Freelance writer/editor

7.  Peeps I want to know more about?

I've been crocheting for over 40 years and blogging since 2004 - two of my favorite things in the world to do besides walking the beaches of windward Oahu, Hawaii.

  • From one end of the country to the other! What’s an EEO specialist? Is it top secret? What’s the book about? Is it a crochet book?

  • Hey Barb! EEO stands for Equal Employment Opportunity – I wrote final agency decisions on discrimiation complaints.
    As for the book, at first I wanted to write a romance novel, but that was way harder than I thought. I may still do one, but for now I’ve decided to write a self-help book; that’s more in line with the kind of writing I used to do as an instructional designer. I’m not ready to reveal the content just yet.
    No crochet book on the horizon as of today, but who knows? …..
