It's been a while since I've done one of these, but Sarah at All Fingers and Thumbs (sorry, still no linking capability, sigh) tagged me for this one, Peeps I Want to Know More About.
1) What was I doing ten years ago?
Ten years ago I was a mom to baby Katie, working part-time in a daycare, because it allowed me to work without having to be away from her.
2) What are five (non-work) things on my to-do list for today:
1. Appointment with midwife
2. Weekly shopping
3. Meet friend to take some belly photographs
4. Take kids to the park
5. Watch Jon & Kate plus 8 & Rome, while knitting baby shower gift.
3) Snacks I enjoy:
Right now, I'm really into a good fruit salad, even better with a scoop of sherbert. Usually, it's anything chocolate, but at the moment the only chocolate I'm really loving is milk chocolate M&Ms.
4) Things I would do if I were a billionaire:
Live debt-free, probably buy us a home out of town, give lots of money away, travel.
5) Places I have lived:
Winkler, MB; Saskatoon, SK; spent some time traveling around with my family in an old school bus turned into a camper; Steinbach, MB; Piney, MB; Brandon, MB; Chetwynd, BC; Prince George, BC. Yikes, eh? I think our move to Chetwynd, the year I turned 16, was my family's 16th move.
6) Jobs I have had
Chamber-maid, store clerk, baker's helper, real estate assistant, administrative assistant, office manager, branch manager, bank teller, daycare provider. I'm sure I'm missing a few, but you get the idea.
7) Peeps I want to know more about:
You! I'm sorry, you all know I'm the anti-tagger. But if you'd like to answer, I'd love to read about it!
I have one kid who probably has body parts made of M&Ms! I'm thinking my rear end was!

Thanks for taking up the tag so quickly - love the thought of you travelling the country in an old school bus :o)

I love that you're getting photos taken of your belly!
I'm with Sarah, re: traveling in the old school bus :^D

Oh I love Jon & Kate Plus 8!
They make me laugh and they bring tears to my eyes each week.
Working in daycare I really appreciate the unique challenges they face going on excursions -- like the visit to the Crayola factory. I was laughing so hard I was crying. Kate is so real! Though a little more concerned about clothing than I relate to -- but then I'm not paying for 8 children's clothing!
I also LOVE Rome. I've watched the series twice. I was so disappointed when it was cancelled. The scripts, the acting, the sets, the costumes - it is an experience to watch that show.
Your fruit salad with sherbert sounds fantastic - and so refreshing. Mmmmm...

I keep checking in to see if your little one has arrived. It is fun to read this memes from time to time, though, like you, I seem to usually avoid them.
It is almost lunch and now I have visions of fruit and sherbert dancing through my head. yum!
