1) What was I doing 10 years ago?
I had just moved back to Ottawa from Vancouver where I was finishing my degree at UBC. Wait? 1998? ugh. I'm older than I think. My mom was in some breast cancer recovery, my dad had just finished a heart-related stint in the hospital, and I was fleeing a tumultously bad-for-me relationship, so it was as good a time as any for me to move back home and start ANOTHER 4 years of school.
2) What are 5 things on my to-do list for today?
look for new holistic cat food
make dinner
go to the gym? (ummmmmm....)
start painting a wall in my living room (ok prep it at any rate)
watch Tila Tequila? (yeah I am THE worst.)
3) Snacks I enjoy:
there are a lot of crazy asian candies/cookies I like. Yesterday I enjoyed some of these:
but you know, there really aren't ANY snacks that I have the power to turn down (hence these thighs 'o mine...). Baked goods, sweet, salty...I want it ALL.
4) Things I would do if I were a billionaire:
Let's see, the usual stuff: donate to friends/family, INVEST, quit my job, travel the world, buy homes in various countries. BUT: I don't do "decadence" very well. You'd never see me with a mcmansion or a sportscar. You'd be more likely to see me with a vintage Eichler bungalow in Palm Springs furnished head to toe with all of the money-is-no-option mid-centuy goodness that I could get my hands on. And maybe a super hot cabana-boy in the mix there somewhere. And then I'd likely donate to as many pet related causes as I could before someone deemed me nutso.
5) Places I have lived:
Vancouver
Germany
St. Jerome
Ottawa
6) Jobs I have had:
-I sold lemonade in a big lemon once. I lasted a week.
-lots of museum/archives/conservation related jobs: You may have seen me vacuuming bears, making plinths for skulls, topping up the formaldehyde on a Coelacanth, picking bugs out of prehistoric turtle shells...
-I used to write record reviews and interview bands for a music magazine.
man, that pretty much ALL sounds better than what I'm doing now, even though I KNOW it's not.
7) Friends I want to know more about (if you've done the meme, please disregard)
There are a lot of you, BUT I will take a pass and give you guys a break. Definitely if you're looking for blog fodder and what to do this meme drop me a comment so I can go and check yours out! It really wasn't all that taxing --and thank you for indulging me in some navel-gazing.

Those Asian berger cookies look a lot like the ones my dad and I made last summer. You use Nila Waffers for the 'bun', with a little honey and sesame seeds for the top bun, a Keebler Grasshopper cookie for the 'burger', coconut dyed with green food coloring for 'lettuce', and red and yellow icing to glue it all together and represent 'ketchup' and 'mustard'. YUM!!
