Due to a severe lack of anything better to write about today, I’ve stolen a page from PT-LawMom and am answering questions she had posted on her blog a few days ago.  Some of them really made me think, which isn’t something I like doing much in my spare time.

What were you doing 10 years ago?
Taking a break from the legal world and working from home as a freelance journalist until my younger son started school full-time.

What were you doing 1 year ago?
My health was a bit worse then but other than that, pretty much the same things I’m doing now.

Five snacks you enjoy:

Mentos
Jay’s potato chips

Kettle corn

Five songs that you know all the lyrics to:
Back in Black – AC/DC
2112 (ok, not many words there but at least I know them) – Rush
Limelight – Rush
Tom Sawyer – Rush (can you tell I’m a Rush fan?)
Everything Garth Brooks has done until his most recent catastrophe 

Five things you would do if you were a millionaire:
Send my kids to college
Buy an island
Get my Ford Explorer fixed (okay, maybe get a new one)
Buy a bigger house with a humongous yard
Get more boxers (dogs, not pugilists)

Five bad habits:
Bitching
Complaining
Relying on my husband do to everything
Having to take Ambien every night

Irritating my older son 

Five things you would never wear again:
High heels
Pantyhose
Spandex anything

Plaid anything 

Five favorite toys:
As a kid:
Honestly I can’t remember anything other than Barbies and jacks (the jacks because I’d throw them in the lawn, then step on them at some later point).
