Meme: Five Things
I got tagged by Reality Faker:
What were you doing 10 years ago?
I was in University, holding down a couple of jobs. I had just been through a bad break up. My dad had also just remarried and all eight kids were living in the same house for the first time. I was so stressed that my new stepsibs knew me only as the volatile person who growled and slammed a lot of doors.
What were you doing 1 year ago?
I was sitting right here. Doing virtually the same thing. Only I think I weighed less and I was newly engaged.
5 snacks you enjoy
- Graber brand olives. Oh god, how I love these so much. I’d divorce Trevor if they asked me to marry them. Yes, I’d marry olives.
- Triscuit (their Cracked Pepper and Olive Oil flavour is the new crack)
- Popcorn sprinkled with nutritional yeast
- Yogurt
- Pickled Beets (not kidding)
5 songs you know all the words to
- Bohemian Rhapsody
- Summertime
- Row-row-row-your-boat
- Happy Birthday
- Oh Canada
5 things you would do if you were a millionaire
- Sock away 10%
- Invest 10%, possibly in Graber olives
- Travel a bit
- Buy or build a top of the line, eco-friendly, off-the-grid house
- Renew my Audible.com membership. I desperately miss my audiobooks. The housecleaning has never been more forsaken.
5 bad habits
Okay, but ‘bad’ is subjective. I like to think of these as just habits:
- Napping for three hours straight on my days off.
- I can rather messy. And destructive. We have no glass tumblers left.
- Complaining. Okay, I concede that’s kind of bad. But it’s not my faaaaauuult!
- I come up with a million great ideas that will “Make Our Lives So Much Better” and ditch them just as quickly.
- I eat way too fast.
5 things you like doing
- Walking really hard on the treadmill. There is such a thing as a hard walk. Trevor calls it the “Working Walk”. It’s a bit… aggressive.
- Holding a Dance Party For One Plus Dog in the middle of my workday
- Finding a new novel from one of my favourite writers has just come out
- Going to a movie with my Trevor
- Going home to visit
5 things you would never wear again
See, this is a trick question. I once swore against bellbottoms but look what happened. Oh sure, you can call them ‘flares’ but it’s a fine line.
- Hammer pants. Mine were black.
- Exclamation perfume. It brings up crazy memories.
- Green faux-leather ankle boots, a la 1950’s Robin Hood
- Size 6 acid wash jeans. They were too tight then, they’d near kill me now.
- Diapers, god willing.
5 favourite toys when you were a kid
- My doll Carla whose eyelashes I pulled out because they scared me. I was one.
- My red two-wheeler bike.
- Dress-up clothes from the Blue Mantel charity shop
- My Sharon, Lois and Bram records
- Too many books to name
Now, the instructions are very precise about what to do with this but few people I know keep blogs.
So, I tag the following blogs:
