WHAT WAS I DOING TEN YEARS AGO? Ten years ago we were living in Pompano Beach and I was staying home helping Edgar with the businesses. We had a fully licensed AMS Montessori School with 5 students in our home. Rachel worked with me using some of the Elementary level materials and we hired one of our good friends as the teacher for the school. Rachel and I were very involved in the home school support group at our church where she was in hand bells and several co-op classes. I sang in the church choir and one of the praise teams. We had a girl from Denmark living with us and had just returned from an around the US 3 month trip. We have precious memories from those times.
MY FIVE FAVORITE SNACKS: I love pastry of most any kind. My favorite desert is Lemon Ice Box pie, mom's recipe. At the movies one must have some popcorn, don't you think? During the summer especially we love to snack on fresh fruit of all kinds. And of course no list would be complete without mentioning dark chocolate.
FIVE THINGS N MY TO DO LIST TODAY: We are getting ready for Edgar to come home after having been away for a week, so today's list was a bit scattered. take Ellie to the groomers to be bathed, pick up coffee from the roaster, take the packed coffee orders to FedEx, finish paying some bills online, spend some quality time with Rachel and Ryan.
THINGS I WOULD DO IF I WERE A BILLIONAIRE: Wow, a billionaire, now that holds much more possibilities than just being a millionaire!! Well, after giving the Lord 15%, uncle Sam 30%, and saving (in some kind of interest bearing account) 20%, I would make sure my close family members all had homes that were paid for and college funds for their kids. Now for the really fun stuff--I would want to sponsor a couple dozen more kids in Kenya and through World Vision. I would also need to give serious consideration to opening that Christian Montessori School I've always dreamed about.
FIVE JOBS THAT I HAVE HAD: The paying jobs include: being a cashier at Kresege (anyone remember that one)?, being a TA for my college music prof, assisting in the office of Development for my college, working as secretary for MIHS Adult Ed, working as a sales associate and a switchboard operator at JC Penneys, working as a Montessori Teacher and preschool Owner/Director, working as a Montessori Teacher Educator, serving as a Children's Minister, Co-Owner of Internet Coffee Business. Sounds like I can't hold a job, huh? This list would be incomplete without mentioning the most important jobs--the ones without a paycheck--wife and mom.
FIVE BAD HABITS OF MINE: I often start reading books, but never finish them. I stay up until the wee hours of the night watching TV movies when I am alone. I rarely do any kind of formal exercise. I spend too much time with my macbook in my lap--mostly reading blogs. I prefer to sleep late whenever I can, which is not very often.
FIVE PLACES I HAVE LIVED: Arkansas City KS, Merritt Island FL, Manhattan KS, Vero Beach FL, Lantana FL, Deerfield Bch FL, Pompano Bch FL, Greensboro NC, Gainesville GA.
FIVE RANDOM THINGS PEOPLE WOULDN'T KNOW ABOUT ME: I worked as a DJ in college for our college station. I love scrambled egg sandwiches with bacon, lettuce, tomato, cheese, and peanut butter--all the food groups! I taught an eight week class to adult students who mostly spoke Chinese--had an interpreter. My mom left me in the hospital for the first 10 days of my life because she was tired and wanted them to get me on a schedule--it only cost my parents 50 cents a day, I have the bill! I would love to visit NY when the weather is perfect so I could go to Central Park ad visit the Statue of Liberty.
FIVE CD'S I'D HAVE TO HAVE ON A DESERTED ISLAND: Well first of all I would really hate to be on a deserted island--too much sand and humidity for me, but I understand the real question here. Anything by John Denver, The Carpenters, or Sara Groves. The Best of the Beachboys, and anything by Chris Tomlin. (I think CD's were not out when John Denver and Karen Carpenter were recording, but you get the idea).
That should fill you in on most anything you would want to know--not even sure I knew all of this stuff until tonight!
