I've been tagged. SOOOOOOOOO this is the drill. a little bit about myself.
What was I doing ten years ago?Ten years ago, our oldest child was finishing up her freshman year in college. Which would have meant I still had 3 very busy kids at home. Which equates to driving, a LOT! DH was traveling between here and Princeton New Jersey 4 days a week. My sewing was pretty much as it is now. Smocking for gifts and trying to improve my embroidery skills. One big project I was working on was a christening gown. Surprise. But sadly I have no pictures of that gown.
What are the five things on my list to do today?- Buy groceries.
- Vacuum, especially the stairs. I avoid them like the plague.
- See Molly's baby boy for the first time. I have no grandchildren yet, but baby daughter's best friend has a baby now and he is coming to visit. I can hardly wait.
- Pull a few more threads. My pink linen gown is almost ready to be embroidered. Only 2 more squares to do the drawn thread work on. Yeah!
- Mop the kitchen.
- Finish unpacking from my trip and do the laundry that goes with it.
What are my favorite snacks?
Chocolate of course. Depending on my mood whether I want it in candy, cookie, warm or cold.
Things I would do if I were a millionaire.
- Way more charitable giving.
- Buy a house in Kirkwood.
- Buy a house on the Gulf Coast
- Put some $$ in a retirement fund.
- Buy a new sewing machine. And an embroidery machine,
- Have a DAILY housekeeper. Life is too short to clean if you don't have to.
- Have the yard professionally landscaped.
- Travel. Places I want to see, Greece, Paris, Rome, Alaska, Australia.
- Attend every stitching school I can fit in.
- Have an apartment in every town my children live in so I can visit when ever I want and not feel like I am intruding.
