Meme and Swapswap

Dearest Anne tagged me a while back, but was kind enough not to hit me over the head while I was on vacation. I'm also aware that I never tapped any other Rockin' Girls for that award, but my time has been a bit thin, so forgive me, okay?

What were you doing 10 years ago?

Um... My serious back problems were just beginning. I felt a twinge, argued with the brand, spankin' new personal trainer about what I should and shouldn't be doing, given my known back issues (from my teens), but listened to Mr. Expert and pinched a nerve, again. I was also just a few weeks away from marrying my best friend, and let me tell you, you haven't lived until you try to put the finishing touches on a wedding for 250+ of your closest friends and distant relations while on narcotic pain killers!

What were you doing one year ago?

LOL... Alzheimer's already!? Ten years ago was easy. One year ago, not so much. Mourning the first summer vacation without Randy, my stepson. He opted to stay with his mom rather than do the beach thing with us. Ouch.

Five things you would do if you were a millionaire:

3. Tour the world with my cousin Sherri

4. Finish College

5. Buy a house in Sedona, AZ

Five bad habits

1. I sometimes have a potty mouth. (I blame the fire service for that.)

2. I interrupt when Mark is talking.

3. I have "safe places" which means I put things away and can't find them later.

5. I am a rotten housekeeper.

5. The Garmin GPS thingee

And now, more joining has happened. I don't have a button yet for SP11, but I'm in and waiting on my match.

I've be remiss in noting that there's another felted bag exchange!

Y'all know about the Colors of Tea Swap (it's my swap; I can call it something slightly different each time if I want!) which at this moment, is still open.

Then, there's the Vegan Pal 2 Swap, which is also still open. I can't decide which option I want. I hate orange the color, but totally LOVE pumpkin, the food, so...??

That's enough for now. I'm supposed to be working on the tea blog site, and I have more vacation excitement to share, and a BIG THANK YOU to make too, but... later.
