Your neighborhood librarian tagged me for this five-themed meme. Really hit the spot this week; I think I’m in the mood to do another one.

What were you doing five years ago?
Generally? Um. Working and stuff. Polishing my leather boots on Sunday nights. Carefully maintaining a hygiene routine (home spa days, even!), drinking on the weekends, shooting pool, sleeping in, staying up late, burning the toast. That sort of thing. Childless newlywed type things. Smoking. Trying to quit smoking. Working out. Obsessing about the size of my ass (if only I could have seen the future! I would have embraced what I then loathed!). Reading. Renting The Sopranos from Cranbrook Video. Emptying the ashtrays. You know.

What ~~are~~ were five things on your to-do list for today (not in any particular order):
And I quote, from my little notebook:

Lasagna
library
laundry
dishes
mail

What are five snacks you enjoy?

Utz Cheese Balls (forever)
The Chex Mix my dad makes
Tostitos and queso
chocolate-covered pretzels
Cormac’s chin

What five things would you do if you were a billionaire?

Assign chunks of money to give to members of my family
buy people presents
hire a staff
move
donate large amounts to my favorite charities — and then get taken off their phone lists.

What are five of your bad habits?

I am unremittingly self-centered
I stay up way too late and then am snappish the next day
I procrastinate
I underestimate myself
I am frequently tardy, flighty, and lost in another world while you’re talking to me

What are five places where you have lived?

Louisiana
Pennsylvania
Ohio
Indiana
Virginia

What are five jobs you have had?

dental x-ray developer
country-club waitress
stagehand
bakery clerk
cartoonist

What five people do you want to tag?

I would like to tag five people who lurk here and NEVER SAY HI. I (think I) know who you are. HI! Hi! Hi! Hi! Hi!

(I know. I hate it when people are like “tag yourself! la la!” and here I am doing it because it’s too late for me to go rooting around for blog addresses for people I dig, but I’ll try and do it for the next one, and soon, because personally, I love being tagged, and i should send that special feeling back out to y’all.)
