What was I doing ten years ago:

Wow, I don't know if I can remember that far back :).

I was working for a financial services company in their operations department. It was not a good fit for me because I'm a peace and social justice kind of gal and my fighting the good fight wasn't greatly appreciated in that environment. I remember feeling lost, like my life had no meaning and I was drifting. I'm in a much better place right now vocationally and emotionally!

Five things on today's "to do" list:
-Go to the bank. (done)
-Write a lesson plan for a workshop I am leading in June. (didn't even start, oh well there's always tomorrow)
-Call the newspapers to followup on the press releases last week for a church event. (done, however on voicemail eeerrrgggghhhh)
-Enter 10 items into the media center computer catalog. (I have hundreds of videotapes to enter on the computer system, I set my goal to cataloging ten a day so I feel like I'm accomplishing something.
-Write an agenda for tonight's evangelism committee meeting. (done)

Things I'd do if I was a billionaire:
-I'd buy my seminary and start my own religion ;)
-I'd set up a charitable foundation.
-I'd travel, travel, travel and then do some more traveling.

Three bad habits:
-I eat way too many french fries with mayonnaise. I am going to turn into a french fry if I'm not careful.
-I watch too much TV.
-I have a tendency to isolate myself. Because I have such a people intensive job, the last thing I want to do is relate to people when I come home from work. However that leads to isolation and isolation leads to loneliness. I am making more of an effort to get together with people for fun things. Last night my partner and I went to a neighbors apartment to color pictures with colored pencils. Well they colored, I knitted and we all had fun.

Five places I've lived:
In my head I have lived in Narnia, 14th century England, the deep south (ala Rita Mae Brown), Hogwarts and currently I am living in a Oikaya (geisha house) in 1930's China. Where I really live...well I'll keep that close to my vest. I've only lived in two cities my whole life and it would encumber my anonymity to reveal those places on this blog.

Five jobs I've had:
-cashier
-sandwich artist (subway employee)
-accountant
-chaplain
-pastor

So that's my story and I am sticking to it. The five people I am going to tag are:

Songbird
Elastigirl
Kathryn
Willsmama
Verde
