1. What was I doing 10 years ago?

Ten years ago I had just gotten a job teaching 2 sections of a course called "Books & Brunch" for the continuing education department of a local community college. The members of the classes were retired, older women (men were not excluded from the course but only two men have ever signed up in the 10 years I've been teaching! Ha!) who loved reading and discussing books. We read between 6-7 books per semester and spent 2 hours every other week discussing each book.

2. What are 5 Things on my To-Do List for today:

I have to answer this meme. I have to do the wash. I have to shop for tonight's dinner. I have to watch some DVDs a couple of people have asked me to watch and comment about.

3. Snacks I Enjoy:

You name the junk food I like it. But these days all I snack on is cheese-filled pretzel sandwiches and hard candy.

4. Things I would do if I were a Billionaire:

The members of my family would have everything they want. Houses, new cars, jewelry, housekeeping help, etc. I would buy a condo in Florida (a really nice place on the water) and all the amenities that goes with it.

5. Three Of My Bad Habits:

I talk too much. I snack too much. Is blogging a bad habit?

6. 5 Places I have Lived:

I have lived in the same place my whole life. All I've done is move from one area of the county to another.

7. Jobs I Have Had:

Bank teller, elementary school teacher, high school teacher, indexer, college teacher.

You might want to know what an indexer is. As an indexer I worked freelance for book publishers who needed indexes to include in the back of the books they had slated for publication. I also worked for companies or organizations, the United Nations, for example, indexing and abstracting journal articles, reports etc. for inclusion in a database.
