5 Things Meme
Posted on February 20, 2008 - Filed Under Fun |
I still haven´t gotten my Photoshop installed to downsize my photos, so yet another Wordless Wednesday is going by with a lot of words . . . perfect time to do this meme that Jessie tagged me for!
Five things 25-year-old Genesis didn’t see coming
- A certain little person named Dante
- A successful writing career
- Being fluent in Spanish (I thought I´d never get there!)
- Actually surviving 5 years of couplehood!
- Dorian´s medical issues . . . I was pregnant around that time, but never thought he´d be born with an imperforated anus!
Five things I was doing 10 years ago
- Working my way up the ranks of the local Air Cadets
- Recovering from a wrecked hip in karate
- Working as a nanny
- Doing respite care for kids with Down´s Syndrome
- Hiding out in my converted garage bedroom and writing all night long
Five things on my to do list for today
- Wash dishes . . . ugh!
- Finish all my blogs
- Plan meals for the next month
- Go into Antigua and get a month´s worth of groceries (can it be done?!?)
- Wash bottles (Aren´t I so darn exciting?)
Five things I will do when I am a millionaire
- Buy a plantation and build a writer´s retreat on it
- Buy curriculum for the boys, all 12 years!
- Build a bathroom
- Get a car!
- Fill my house with books.
Five things I will never wear again
- Plaid flannel shirts (but pjs are ok)
- Wool socks (military, blech!)
- Earrings
- High heels
- Ruffled dress
Five of my favorite toys
- Lego
- Computer
- Sewing machine
- Playstation
- Water guns
Five banes of my existence
- Fleas (Dante has them in his bed and I CANNOT get rid of the suckers)
- Toys that break in five seconds
- French fries (It´s a love/hate thing, I love the taste, hate the extra pounds!)
- Writing clients who don´t pay
- Dry, cracked skin and lips
Both mine and Dorian´s.
Ok, I have to tag someone new with this . . . YOU. If you´re interested, take up the challenge!

Wow, that was fast! Some of your answers are so interesting. I really think you should write a book. Not an autobiography exactly, but maybe an autobiographical novel. You have had such a unique life experience already and you’re just 28!
One answer that surprised me though… you never want to wear earrings again? I’m hardly ever without them (though I do rotate the same few pairs over and over!).
Good luck on the month menu thing. I listened to a lady at a mother’s group once describe how to plan your month’s menu and shop for it. The best I’ve ever done is two weeks at a time. I bet you can do it though.
Oh, and good ol’ Vaseline works wonders on cracked skin and lips!
Ok, I liked this list so much, I have also do it… BUT, it is sitting in draft until L has a look at it…
It will go up in a little while, I promise!
Just thought I would let you know, its up!!!
Yay, I´ll be checking yours out, Bernie, thanks for playing!
Jessica, the whole earring thing is because I didn´t have pierced ears until about four years ago. I finally had them done and they got SO infected. They were basically sore and causing major problems for 3 months. Then I was in the hospital and took them out and afterwards, when I tried to put them back in, my ears were already healed, just a week later. So I´m not really interested in trying that again!
