Remembering to exhale ~

Bethe from over at Palm Harbor got me <grin> I haven't done one of these things in ages but I promised I would ~ don't be surprised if I don't remember a lot of things though... some things I can't remember, either from them being too painful, it's almost like amnesia (sigh) I hate it when those things happen with my memories.  But!!!  Here I go!

RULES

QUESTIONS

1. WHAT WHERE YOU DOING TEN YEARS AGO

I was in Portland Oregon, working at a wonderful little diner downtown, I loved that job ~ living in a small victorian studio apartment with a huge iron (or steel?) clawfoot tub ~ always had enough hot water because we (the apartment building) had steam radiators for heat...and that in return heated the water.  Going to therapy twice a week and hiding when I wasn't at work or therapy, I was as close to agoraphobic as you can be without actually crossing into it.

2. WHAT ARE 5 THINGS ON MY TO-DO  LIST TODAY

I'm going to have to make it my list for tomorrow 'cuz it's already almost 6 p.m. here  lol. hmmmmm let's see ~

1.  get up and make coffee, make C's breakfast ~ check my emails and get ready for work.

2.  go to work

3. go get my nails done <very important thing here> lol

4. come home let the dogs out into the run and give them some love.

5.  cook dinner, do dishes, watch some TV, shower and go to bed and start over the next day.

3. SNACKS I ENJOY

olive tapinade (that may be spelled wrong) over a crispy crusted hard bread

pumpkin seeds

black olives with harvarti cheese

peanut M & M's

SOUP

fruits

4. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WERE A BILLIONAIRE

Buy out massive amounts of old growth forests & give them to a organization such as the Sierra Club or a group like that who would protect them for generations to come.

I'd also purchase large areas of land and create no kill safe areas for cat's, dog's...even one's for retired circus animals, mistreated laboratory animals etc.  where they could live out the remainder of their lives happy, healthy and loved.

Create Women's Shelters ~ we need far more of them and create educational systems to further their ability to take care of themselves and their children if there are any.

finally for me ~ I'd buy up around 3 or 400 hundred acres in prime mountain land in the pacific northwest..hire security guards to patrol it ~ build myself a english style country cottage with 3 bedrooms, living room, 4 bathrooms, a huge library/study, dining room and a kitchen to die for.  I'd have 1 vehicle that would be all terrain, have my own generator to supply  my energy needs, grow my own vegetables and herbs...have cow's, sheep, horses, cats, dogs, have my own well ~ oh and the property would have to have a river running through it and maybe a waterfall. Of course Cindy would be there lol.
