Meme, Meme and More Memes

Two new blog buddies I met at The Ultimate Blog Party have tagged me for memes.  Linda from Milanese Masala, tagged me for a 7 facts about yourself meme.  I have done this one before, so you can read more about me here and here, but I still came up with another 7 things.  My life really doesn’t seem that interesting, but here goes…

1.  I love roller coasters and amusement parks!
2.  I dislocated my elbow when I was 9 years old.  And yes, I still remember how much it hurt :(
3.  I have never tried Sushi.  Don’t know why really.
4.  I used to Square Dance.  Yep, do-ce-do, petticoat and all!
5.  I have an obsession with scarves.  I have a serious collection…maybe 30 or more!
6.  I came in second place at a Karaoke contest.  I guess I have some pipes.
7.  My first trip to Paris was a 10 day solo trip.  It was a scary and exciting adventure, but it was also one of the best things I have ever done!

Since, this one has been around for a while, I am only going to tag a few folks that I think haven’t done it yet.  So, Shawn, Joe and TACE..this ones coming your way!

******************************************************************************

And then Not Trying for a Boy tagged me for another meme.  I just love the name of her blog!   Here is the Q & A.

What I was doing 10 years ago:  I was living in Northern California, working for Gold’s Gym.

Five things on my to-do list today:

1.  mail my sisters birthday card.  (her b-day is Thursday)
2.  do my homework from our Italian class last night
3.  watch Barack Obama’s speech
4.  finalize our Easter plans 
5.  do a blog post  (well, one outta five ain’t bad)

Snacks I enjoy:

Chips n’ salsa, greek yogurt and fresh berries, a homemade smoothie, peanut butter or nutella on just about anything!

Things I would you do if I was a Billionaire:

That’s easy.  First, I would scream.  Loudly.  Then I would faint.  When I came to, I would pay off all my debt and give my parents some dough for all the help they have given me over the years.  Then I would purchase 2 villas.  One in Provence and one in Tuscany.  I would proceed to the best flea markets and antique shops in both France and Italy and spend the rest of the year decorating said villas.  I would spend each year going back and forth between the two, open them both as Bed and Breakfasts and eventually write a book about the whole experience.  Uh, do you think I have thought about this just a little over the years.  Naaa.

Three of my bad habits:

1.  spending too much time on the computer
2.  not proofreading my blog enough..before I hit publish
3.  piling random *stuff* on my kitchen table, the catch-all.

Five places I have lived: 

Long Island, NY
Seymour, CT
Clinton Corners, NY
Walnut Creek, CA
Poughkeepsie, NY

Five jobs I have had.

NY State Park Police Dispatcher
Receptionist in a Dermatologist’s Office
Sales Consultant for several Gym’s
Store Manager for Kids ‘R’ Us.
Supervisor for GAP distribution center

and finallyfive people I’d like to get to know better.  Consider yourself tagged.

1.  Erin at the Olive Notes…because she is living my dream.
2.  Mental Mosaic…because I love the name of her blog.
3.  Anne in Oxfordshire..because she’s a sweetheart.
4.  Joanne at Frutto della Passione because she’s all about Italy and food.
5.  Milanese Masala because she tagged me for the first one, so right back attcha.

    Hey, this was fun! I especially relate to what you’d do if you became a billionaire. I’ve planned out similar scenarios. Why do I torture myself? Oh well. It is fun to dream!!!
    Happiest Day!
