Five Questions

This blogging thing is getting addictive...my friend, Betsy, got me into it. And even though she didn't 'tag' me with this one, I'm jacking it just the same...

1. What were you doing 10 years ago?

September 1998 I was a junior in high school at Stratford (GO KNIGHTS!). We were smack dab in the middle of the fall semester so I would have been doing off-season training for track and being the manager for the volleyball team (because it was actually really fun and I just wasn't good enough to make the team, sigh)...oh yeah, and I was going to class too.

2. What are 5 items on your to-do list?
  • get back into shape -- the move and work and family events have kind of killed my workout routine...but I'm getting back into it and I joined a way better gym than I was previously at so it's really a fun item on my to-do list
  • get caught up at work...but with a certain pro se plaintiff being the bain of my existence, this is becoming increasingly difficult to do
  • request my absentee ballot for the November elections (because hey, I live in a city of 5 million people and really don't care to fight the crowds)....p.s. GO VOTE, PEOPLE!!! If you don't vote, you have absolutely no place to whine about how much you dislike what the elected officials are doing in office
  • find tickets to the Bama/UGA game that don't require me mortgaging the soul of my first born male child...so yeah, if anyone can help me find some, give me a shout!
  • get a haircut. it's been months. and it's getting obnoxious.
3. Snacks I enjoy

I'm a huge fan of dried pineapple. I also thoroughly enjoy natural flavored popcorn. And I usually always have some of the dried fruit bars from Archer Farms on hand...yeah, so I have a huge sweet tooth and most of my snacks are sweet ones...

4. What would you do if you were a billionaire?

Pay off the student loans. Buy one of those adorable 4-story brownstone townhouses in Brookhaven. Buy an Astin Martin DB9. Build dad's dream log home on the retirement property. Pay off their debt. Make my brother a trust fund baby. Set up a scholarship at the University of Alabama in my cousin's honor for students who have suffered catastrophic injuries. Buy 4 seats of season tickets on the 50, 15 rows off the field, and a condo at Crimson Place. Endow Happy Days & Special Times. Travel the world.....and (grudgingly) give half of it to Uncle Sam.

5. Six places I would live:

Charleston, London, Tampa, DC, Orlando, or Amsterdam

This is the point where I'm supposed to tag people...but since I don' know anyone who blogs other than Bets, I'm not exactly able to.

Nice work, Sal! I would have tagged you but at the time you weren't quite the blogging fool you have become. And btw, I'm proud to call you my protege!
