A Meme With 1 Question I Haven’t Done Before
That Grateful Guy, who just started a new blog, tagged me. So I’m it.
First, we must go ahead and play by the rules:
1. The rules of the game get posted at the beginning.
2. Each player answers the questions about themselves.
3. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5-6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Yea, you know I suck at doing this, so I’m not even going to pretend.
4. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.************
1) What was I doing 10 years ago?
10 years ago? 1998? Wow. I was just getting ready to turn 35. I had been diagnosed and was fighting my first bout with this. Mr. Hot, Shortman and I were living in a “garden-level” (dark-ass basement) two-bedroom apartment and wondering how in the world we were going to afford child support, rent, and y’know, food, if I lost my job after our buyout by a much larger bank based in Chicago. Mr. Hot had taken an early retirement to be a stay at home dad in 1996 and we were pretty much broke.
It was, all in all, a pretty crappy year. (Bald and on the verge of possibly losing my job…..hmmmm, it’s deja-fuckin’-vu. )
2) What are five things on your to-do list for today?
- Plant seeds.
- Weed around the Wiegela bushes.
- Call Mom.
- Help Mr. Hot scrub the glider/swing for the backyard.
- Give myself a pedicure to make my toes pretty for spring. ( it’s a half-assed job, but I can’t do half-a-checkmark.)
3) What snacks do I enjoy?
Almonds. Vodka. (Shush, it does count as a snack!). The yummy banana bread I made yesterday. Vodka. Mr. Hot’s earlobe. Dark chocolate. Limeade (with vodka.) Wine. Tortilla chips and homemade guacamole. Cheese.
4) Things I would do if I were a billionaire?
Buy Shortman and 24 their own house and a Nanny to keep an eye on them so Mr. Hot and I could go live on a beach by ourselves and run around naked all the time. Set up a foundation that provides scholarships for young women getting into technology fields. Visit the major cities of Europe. Retire and spend my days reading and writing.
5) Three Bad Habits
- Smoking my three cigarettes/day (yes, dammit, I do have to add that qualification every time I admit I smoke),
- not putting my clothes away after Mr. Hot washes and folds them (I know, you’re jealous, I don’t even know how to work the stupid machine, hee.),
- and swearing (besides my tag line up there, “fuck a duck” is one of my very favorite phrases, and I call 90% of the other drivers on the road “shithead” at any given time, just because I like to. “Dickhead” is another good one.)
6) 5 places I have lived…
- Town 1 in Wayne County, Michigan
- Town 2 in Wayne County, Michigan
- East Lansing, Michigan
- St. Albans, WV
- Huntington, WV
7) 5 Jobs I have had
- Katie and Tommy’s babysitter
- Brigid and Erin’s babysitter (Katie and Tommy’s cousins)
- Mucker of horse stalls at a daycamp (didn’t get paid, but I got to ride)
- Scrubber of stainless steel animal cages (a.k.a. Veterinary Assistant)
- Poopy the Puppy’s protector (from the noisy trucks going down the road)
Six EightSeven suckers, er people I want to know more about…
Nah, sorry….I can’t do it. But, if you want to steal this, go ahead….and let me know in the comments and I’ll link back to you here.

I got tagged for this elsewhere, so I’ll consider myself double-tagged and post it tomorrow. Or the day after. Or whenever I get around to it.
Jen on the Edge’s last blog post..Does it get any better?
I’m hiding over here in the corner so I won’t get tagged. Thank you for making that unnecessary!
I call a lot of drivers “dumbass.” And vodka is totally a snack.
Jennifer H’s last blog post..The Alleged Man Photo poll (rock the vote)
Man, I love this. And you know I’m not a fan of teh meme. The snacks? Every single on of them I love.
Dawn’s last blog post..I’m never watching “The Toy” again…
Heh heh. “Deja-du”. Snork.
Shania’s last blog post..It’s a circus around here!
What a fun meme! You totally could’ve tagged Candy for this … she’s been whining about having nothing to talk about lately.
moo’s last blog post..A letter to my son
Like Dawn said, your snacks are so mince. Except Mr. Hots earlobe, you can keep that one yourself.
I am so not going to do this.
10 years ago? I was 10 years old. Hehe.
Veronica’s last blog post..Little Ray of Sunshine.
I love that vodka is a snack. I’ve only had it once, which was the first time I got drunk. That was a night to forget, after … well it’s probably best I don’t say what happened. My therapist recommends that I don’t talk about it.
I have a friend who says “fuck a duck” a lot. When she’s really upset, she’ll say “fuck a squadron” (of ducks).
Solomon’s last blog post..Kathy tagged me for a meme, so here goes…
Yeah, where is the ‘whisk Kelley away to a 7 star resort and ply her with alcohol and hot waiters and make her dance on tables’ in the if I was a billionaire…?.
Huh? HUH? HUH?!?! Where is it biatch!?
I will forgive this oversight. This time…
Kelley’s last blog post..Take me drinking with you. I mean, to BlogHer.
My favorite road rage thing is “ass bucket” or “dick”. Really pisses off the hub when I say things like that but hey… it makes ME feel better. As long as I remember to check and make sure the window is closed.
flutterby’s last blog post..Prom!!!
Every now and then I hear the phrase “Fuck a duck” and I think of you. Nice, isn’t that?
melissa’s last blog post..Suckers for Sayings
If you have any money left over you could come here and buy the house next door. I would keep you in vodka and chocolate. Promise.
Your Sunday was FAR more productive than mine. I got very few “checks” or “half checks” on my list.
Laurel’s last blog post..All Hail Queen Trish (And Her Frog)
Shit Purple Twinkies
Suck Donkey Dick
Those are two of my phrases I can’t seem to shake.. since I don’t hang out in a bar 4 days a week anymore my cussing has diminished.
mp’s last blog post..DAY 5 - Assume the position
Alcohol is a snack.
Kristabella’s last blog post..It’s A Contest!
Under Bad Habits, one of mine used to be saying the F___A___D. haven’t said that for quite awhile… Sounds like you and I are the same kind of drivers, though.
coastrat’s last blog post..WEEK #9 - MISSISSIPPI GULF COAST BLUE BIRD UPDATE
