Five Things About Me
The rules:
1. Post the rules of the game at the beginning.
2. Each player answers the questions about themselves.
3. At the end of the post, the player then tags five 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 the player’s blog.
4. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.
What were you doing five years ago?
In 2003, the Hillsboro school district cut 17 days from the end of their school year. Budget constraints also took away our school's librarian, PE teacher, computer teacher and so much more. I started a huge volunteer movement of parents to fill in the gaps. Oh yeah, I also worked about 20-25 hours a week at Hot Off the Press as a Designer. We took trips to Bend to go skiing, to the Oregon Caves and California Redwood Nat'l Park, to Chicago, and to Colorado (where Nat was a flower girl in Ben and Annie's wedding). I got my VW Passat wagon (and I'm still driving it 90K miles later!!). Nat won her first ever horse championship. Whew!
What are five things on your to-do list for today?
1) Take Nat to the barn to ride Memo and to attend a Lameness Clinic by our Vet. Check.
2) Go to the Grocery store. Check. (Also stopped at the local farm store for a flat of local strawberries.)
3) Finish laundry.
4) Clean all those strawberries and make a strawberry-rhubarb crisp.
