Lifetime Meme

Annabel Lee tagged me with this lifetime meme:

10 years ago: I was in college and dating The Ex.

5 years ago: I bought my Civic. I spent way too long at the stupid dealership and walked out twice before the salesman followed me to my car and begged me to stay.

1 year ago: I turned 30.

Yesterday: I worked, went grocery shopping, talked on the phone, watched TV, then went to bed.

Today: I’m at work. Tonight I’ll probably run some errands, read my book club book, then catch up on my TiVo.

Tomorrow: I’ll work. But, Thursdays are Century City Farmer’s Market days which means I will buy some kettle corn. (I know, major excitement.) Tomorrow night I’m going to a shindig.

5 snacks I enjoy: Pretzels. Chocolate (is that a snack?). Baked chips. Fuji apples. Candy.

5 bands that I know the lyrics of MOST of their songs: Depeche Mode. Oingo Boingo. Guster. Billy Joel. Don McLean.

5 things I would do with $100,000,000: Buy a house. Buy a new car. Share money with my parents and sister. Set up a college fund for my Little. Donate to charity.

5 locations I’d like to run away to: Paris. Hawaii. Vegas. San Diego. London.

5 bad habits I have: Crack my knuckles. Swallow my gum. Grind my teeth/clench my jaw. Stress over silly things. Correct people’s grammar when I shouldn’t.

5 things I like doing: Baking. Reading. Going to the theater. Sleeping late. Anything with my family and friends.

5 things I would never wear: Shoes with a heel higher than 3 inches–I’m tall enough as it is; and well, I’m a klutz. Anything that I wore in the 80s that is “back in fashion” today. Pigtails. Anything that requires double sided tape. A padded bra.

5 TV shows I like: Arrested Development. Curb Your Enthusiasm. Law & Order. The Amazing Race. Beauty and the Geek.

5 movies I like: Swingers. Grease. Breakfast Club. Kissing Jessica Stein. Pretty in Pink.

5 famous people I’d like to meet: Jennifer Weiner. Edith Wharton. Shawn Green. Matt Dillon. The inventor of duct tape (so that I could tell him my dad has found 1001 uses for the stuff).

5 biggest joys at the moment: Family. Friends. The gorgeous weather. Being a Big Sister and watching my Little learn from me. The fact that come August, I will no longer have car payments.

5 favorite toys: Laptop. Dell DJ. Digital camera. TiVo. KitchenAid mixer.

5 people to tag: Erin. Neil. Ari. Nanette. Keith.

This is the first time I’ve ever been tagged with other esteemed bloggers. I’ve been waiting for months for this. I’ve finally accepted by the community! I’m going to lunch and celebrate. I might even order a glass of red wine. Thanks, Hilary!

One question, Hilary — you’d rather meet Shawn Green more than Einstein, Plato, or Oprah? You really do love baseball… or at least Jewish baseball players…

Not sure what this says about me, but I think I’d have more to talk to Shawn Green about. Plus, Oprah just bugs.

Got to pick Koufax over Green, or maybe Moe Berg. At least in the category of Jewish ballplayers.

Elise, I just saw the news when I woke up. I am so glad to hear you are okay. Have you called your mom yet? Have they said who did it?

yah, talked to my mom as soon as it happened! I think they are thinking it’s al quaeda, but who knows?? The bus that exploded is 2 blocks from my office, on the same road. one minute later and it would have been outside our front door. Pretty scary, they aren’t letting us leave the building and I don’t know how I’ll get home tonight. Can’t get much work done though!!!

Ooooh! I like this one. As soon as I get some pesky work off my desk I’m on this!

Oooh, I love Don McLean, too. Listen to him all the time.

And I still don’t have a KitchenAid mixer. I might just bite the bullet and buy it for my birthday next month. I know, it’s ridiculous that I don’t have one. Every baker needs one!!
