Ack, it's been forever since I posted. First, glittrgirl tagged me for a meme. I haven't done one in a while, so why not...I'll try to get back later with some WIPs!

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 I was doing 10 years ago:
Enjoying kidless life with M! We'd been married three years, and were planning a trip to England and France for that September. Work-wise, we'd just finished the Neurolab space shuttle mission (STS-90), and were in the midst of post-flight data collections every so often with the crew. And lots of data analysis! And training a student to do even more data analysis. For that mission I took M, my parents, his parents, and his aunt and uncle with me out to Florida for the launch. It was the first launch for all of them, and it was really great to have them there. We spent a fun day at Epcot and of course a day or two touring around KSC.

2. What 5 things are on on my to-do list for today (not in any particular order):
Since today is waning, I'll make this my list for tomorrow.
1. Make C's lunch and walk him to school with J in tow, giving C his practice spelling test on the way there.
2. Get laundry detergent and a few other things at Target, and go to the grocery store.
3. Possibly go in to work, again with J in tow, to hook up a mass spectrometer to a vacuum pump to rough. I meant to do it today, but completely forgot about it until about 5 minutes before I had to go.
4. Pick up C from school and take him to a doctor's appointment.
5. Go over to BIL and SIL's house for a barbecue for MIL's birthday. I'm bringing vegetable gyoza from Trader Joe's (my all-time favorite appetizer!) and baked potato fixin's.

3. Snacks I enjoy:
Nachos (with the works--cheese, beans, jalapenos, sour cream, guac), Cheez-it crackers, fruit (especially cherries), M&M's

4. Things I would do if I was a billionaire:
Oh man, this is hard. I'd pay off debts, put a ton of money into M's business so that it could really take off, and find a great charity helping kids get their educations around the world. I would probably also stop working and get maybe a part-time "fun" job during the kids' school hours. That way I could take them to school and pick them up, help with homework, etc. Oh, and of course I'd go over our trust with the attorney so that Uncle Sam doesn't steal it all when I die!

5. Places I have lived:
1. Anaheim, CA (age 0-5)
2. Bellingham, WA (5-11)
3. Fullerton, CA (11-18)
4. La Jolla, CA (18-20 at college)
5. San Diego, CA (20-31)
6. Carlsbad, CA (31-present)

I feel guilty that I have neither posted in my blog nor read too many others in so long, I won't tag anyone from here. I'm sure that most people I'd tag have done it already and just don't know it because I've been too swamped to keep up.
