Meme

I read this on Dispatches from Halifax, which means I am tagged... I apologize for the sheer boredom that will ensue if you read my responses.

The rules: Each player answers the questions about themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5-6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.

1) What was I doing ten years ago?

10 years ago I was 14 and recovering from a bad case of mono. I got sick in mid April and did not go back that school year. Thankfully, I had done well the rest of the year and passed grade 9 anyway. My liver was out of whack for quite a while during the ordeal so I had to get blood tests done twice a week for a while. After every visit to the hospital my mom would take me to get me ice cream at the dairy delite in Lincoln.

2) What are five (non-work) things on my to-do list for today:

Seeing as it is already 8:30 pm and I got to bed at 10pm, not a whole lot.
1. Setting the coffee to brew tomorrow morning
2. Doing some knitting
3. Have a bed time snack
4. Start reading a new book. I finished the Gum Thief the other night.
5. Go to sleep.
There you have it. The exciting life of a 24 year old party girl.

3) Snacks I enjoy:
Chocolate, yogurt, cheese, dill pickles, ice cream, chocolate.

4) Things I would do if I were a billionaire:
First I would hire a good financial adviser and invest most of it. Then I would pay off my debts and the debts of my family and buy myself a modest house.
I would buy a yarn store that I would run just for fun and make no money off of. I would probably just give the yarn away really.
I would donate a lot of money to local hospitals and to fund cancer research. I would also volunteer at a hospital. I used to do that in Fredericton. I also worked there at the time, so I did seem a little crazy.

5) Places I have lived:
Geary, NB
Moncton, NB
Fredericton, NB
Halifax, NS


6) Jobs I have had:
Marine Electronics Technologist
Medical Equipment Technologist
Customer Service Specialist at Walmart (in the Fabric & Craft dept. That is when I taught myself to knit!)
Hostess at East Side Marios
Worked at computer access centres in Oromocto and Geary running programs for kids in the summer. I NEVER want to do that again.

7) Peeps I want to know more about:
Whoever feels like it. No pressure.

WWKIP 2008

We came, we knitted, innocent bystanders looked confused... All in all a successful knitting in public day.

Mrs. Yes I Knit and Cali organized the whole event and did a fantastic job! Many thanks to them for putting it all together.


I had my picture taken with a local knitting (knitted!) celebrity. Things went so well that we set up a date for last evening, but alas, he stood me up. Jilted by a knitted green monster. I have reached a new low.

Tofutsies

I finished the Waving Lace socks in Tofutsies while I was on vacation.  I had more than enough yarn left to make a little pair for Anna.  Here were are modeling our stylin socks together.




And here she's doing a solo shoot.


These socks are fun to wear, but they are much better to play with!
