Cinco Perguntas/5 Questions

I haven't been officially tagged yet, but what the heck..  I'll do this too-since EVERYONE else is doing it... 

 

QUESTIONS

1. WHAT WERE YOU DOING TEN YEARS AGO?

I was newly divorced, trying to raise two kids on my own...  Them were rocky times..  I didn't start dating again until about a year after my divorce because I was recovering from the aftermath of almost 12 years of a fairly unhealthy marriage.  It was a year for "recovery."

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

It's Friday, so there isn't too much to do around here.  My priorities are taking Nicholas to preschool, and picking him up and his older brother after work.  I'm meeting my friend Maria for lunch-that will be fun.  Other than that, I have real work at home.  I have laundry to do, dinner to make..etc..etc.. 

3.  SNACKS I ENJOY:

I like yogurt-Yoplait fat free--especially cherry & lemon.  I like granola bars with coffee, and of course, who am I kidding..  I love cookies. 

4. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WERE A BILLIONAIRE?

Oh gosh.  That is way too much money--too much responsibility to deal with.  But I would try and help my fellow man as much as possible-the homeless, the poor, the sick---research for illness that have effected my family especially-cancer, diabetes, spina bifida, heart disease...

Of course I would quit my job.  I think my husband would quit too.  A billionaire?!  Are you kidding me?!  I can't even start to imagine what we would do.  Of course we would help our children start their lives, as well as the children of our siblings..etc..  Make sure everyone gets the opportunity for a college education..etc.. 

I would probably be bored to death with all that money around so I would do volunteer work.  May be work with Oprah.  HA HA HA..  Travel the world, make a beautiful home here and overseas..  Perhaps write a book?  Gee I don't know..  Remember when being a Millionaire was ENOUGH?!  I guess those times are gone...  

5. BAD HABITS:

I procrastinate sometimes, I say "yes" too many times, I expect the good in people all the time.  I am relatively a positive person; and I expect everyone to be like me, and they aren't. I tend to eat too much chocolate, and I can't keep track of a checkbook either.

I would travel definitely.

Dang!  I forgot to list "procrastination" as a bad habit.  I've got too many to keep track of!

I'd give a lot of $$ to charity if someone would get me a half hour with Clooney. I'd buy him a beer and we'd sit and talk about sports, politics and music. As his lips moved, i would experience sex without sex, if you know what i mean. I would not even listen to his words. Just watch those lips move as he looked at me...

sigh. THAT is one way to spend a billion dollars.

did you enjoy lunch?
