What were you doing ten years ago?

Ten years ago I was wrapping up my Junior year of high school in Northern Michigan. My favorite section of the school library at the time? Periodicals.

What are five things on your to-do list for today (not in any particular order):

  • Work with the third grade classes coming in today
  • Read reviews and add titles to an upcoming book order

  • Nutter Butter cookies
  • Mixed nuts

What would you do if you were a billionaire?

  • Nutty Bars for everyone
  • Books for schools
  • Donations to cancer research
  • House in a cool location
  • Save for family

What are your bad habits?

Knuckle-cracking, messiness.

What are five places where you have lived?

I’ve only lived in three, so I’ll add two completely false locations to the list (see if you can spot the impostors!)

  • Cheboygan, MI
  • Pestoskey, MI
  • Holland, MI
  • Camp Green Lake, TX
  • Centerburg, OH

What are five jobs you have had?

  • Fudge Shop employee (Favorite ice cream flavor: Peanut Butter Cup)
  • Carpenter
  • Barista (Days worked: 1)

  • School Librarian (K-6)

What people do you want to tag?

    Hi – thanks for the tag but… I did this meme a couple weeks ago on my personal blog. (I reserve Pink Me for book reviews only, although sometimes I fudge that a little!).

    Nice to meet you!

    http://yourneighborhoodlibrarian.blogspot.com/2008/05/meemy-meme.html

    I get to use cusswords and talk about drug use on Your Neighborhood Librarian without fear of reprisals from the nice moms and dads that read Pink Me!
