Julie tagged me, so here goes:

ten years ago: I was a single woman living in New Jersey

five years ago: I was a single woman living in New Jersey with a dog named Katy

one year ago: I was a single woman living in New Jersey with a dog named Chappy

(Who says things don’t change??)

five snacks:
———————————–
Homemade cake, when available
Mint-flavored Oreos
Fruit–especially Macoun or Honeycrisp apples, when they’re in season
Hershey’s kisses (one or two a day)
Popcorn (the real stuff, not the microwave kind)

five songs I know all the words to:
————————————————
Almost anything by the Beatles
Almost anything by Harry Connick Jr
Almost anything by the Proclaimers
Almost anything by George & Ira Gershwin
Almost anything from any number of Broadway shows (Ragtime, 1776, Scarlet Pimpernel, Phantom of the Opera, How to Succeed in Business without really Trying, Guys & Dolls, Beauty & the Beast, The Producers…)

five things I would do with $100 million:
——————————————-
Buy my parents a house
Buy my sister a house
Give my niece & nephew money for college
Buy myself a small place on Martha’s Vineyard
And then, oh yeah, charity is good . . .

five places to run away to:
———————————–
Martha’s Vineyard
England
New Zealand (I’ve heard!)
Wales (beautiful)
New England

five things I would never wear:
———————————-
Fur (although I admit I have a pair of fur-lined mittens . . . I’m sorry)
Bikini
Poncho (well, if I were freezing, maybe, but it would have to be cold!)
Anything too skimpy
Mis-matched patterns (or, really, I’ll just mostly avoid patterns altogether)

five favorite tv shows:
—————————-
West Wing (in its heyday)
Gilmore Girls
Veronica Mars
Quantum Leap (gone, but not forgotten)
All the others are also gone . . .

five biggest joys:
—————————————-
Chappy
Spending the day with my Mom (aka my best friend)
Curling up with a new book by a favorite author (ahhh!)
Coming home at the end of the work day
Getting the chance to chat with my friends–rarer than it should be!

favorite toys:
—————————————–
My computer
My library (not really a toy but very diverting!)
Chappy (again, not strictly a toy, but great fun to play with)
My spinning wheel
My new camera(s)

five people I’ll pass this on to:
——————————————
I’m just going to leave this open–please take it if you want to play! (I’ve seen it around a bunch of blogs lately and am not sure who’s got it and who doesn’t …)
