C. Now, on to the questions!

What were you doing 10 years ago?
The years are really starting to run together, but my kids were 4 and 6 years old. I was an at-home mommy who also worked at the preschool to pay for flying lessons. This was just before we adopted our dogs, so my garden was still beautiful. I loved digging in the dirt!

What were you doing one year ago?
My little boys were in the 8th and 10th grades! I was completing my first official semester of graduate school. At work, I was mentoring my two new adorable Spanish teachers. Last Christmas we were preparing to take a cruise (the only one I've ever taken) with my parents and my precious neice who gives me my "I wish I had a daughter too" fix from time-to-time. I loved that cruise, but the way people were constantly moving about the ship made me feel like I was on a giant floating ant farm!

Five snacks you enjoy:
1. Cheese & crackers; 2. Good olives; 3. Blue corn chips & "Texas caviar" (a dip of avacado, tomatoes, onions, black-eyed-peas and other secret ingredients); 4. Cadbury's chocolate with almonds;
5. Poppycock & Fiddle Faddle

Five songs to which you know all the lyrics:

Five bad habits:

Five things you like to do:
