Random Tuesday Meme (or, I Really Should Be Working Right Now)

I was tagged myself for this meme. Yep, that's what I do... I can't sit around and wait for someone to tag me - so I tag myself. AND I do almost all the surveys on MySpace.

Rules: Each player answers the questions about themselves. At the end of the post, the player than tags 4 or 5 people to also do the meme.

1. What was I doing 10 years ago?
- I had just moved to Fort Lauderdale and was working at Barnes and Noble, going to school and partying WAY TOO MUCH.

2. Five Things on my to-do list today.
- Walk the pug
- Work
- Play the Wii
- Pay the bills
- Spend time with le hub
(I have high expectations today..lol..)

3. Three snacks I enjoy.
- Honey wheat sticks
- cheese
- I haven't had them in awhile, cause I'll eat the whole box - but peanut butter tasty cakes... mmm...

4. Things I would do if I were a billionaire:
- My plans would include: a camel, turtles, pugs, a big house on lots of land and traveling.


5. Three of my bad habits.
- Procrastination (ie doing a meme instead of working)
- Cracking my neck
- Emotional eating

6. Five places I have lived.
- Wilmington, De
- Naples, Fl
- Melbourne, Fl
- Pembroke Pines, Fl
- Davie, Fl

7. Five jobs I have had.
- Bookseller
- Pharmacy Tech
- Pharmacy Management Analyst
- Pug Mom
- Wife

I tag ANYONE who wants to tag themselves, but especially: Tara Belly, Doozy, Chemgrrl, Skully and the Pirate Librarian!

Long Time No Update!

The past 7 weeks I have been traveling non-stop for work - it's been hectic! I haven't had much time to knit (or anything else for that matter!) but I'm going to be home for the next 2 weeks so hopefully I'll make some progress on my CPH.
I missed a day on Project 366, which totaly sucked... but I'm also a little relieved... it sometimes became a burden to find something to take pictures of. With me being so busy lately there were days where I'd forget until it was pretty late and then I'd just take a picture of something lame just to satisfy my 'quota'. I am proud though that I made it 129 days, faithfully, without missing any. And I've enjoyed carrying my camera with me everywhere. It brought me back to photography and I'm really glad I participated. Here a few of my favorite shots:















In other news...
Don bought me a Wii :-) Holy hooked. I took it up to Gainesville with me this past week when I went to visit my family and even my mother loved it! She was doing some mad bowling! It was a blast!! I'm finally able to sit down and really play with it - pretty awesome... I'm totally addicted!
Speaking of addicted.. the girls in my knitting group introduced me to the Twilight Series (by Stephanie Meyer). W.O.W. I want to marry Edward (sorry Don) and have his vampire babies. One of my dearest friends has put together a stitch marker club for the Twilight Series and I'm so syked about it! (She also has a ton of other rad stitch markers, check out her shop!) Also the movie is coming out in December, I should be done with the books by then...lol... it's taking me forever to get through the series (not that they aren't good, just time restrictions).
Hopefully by the time I post again I'll have made progress on my CPH. I'm very happy to be back home. I'm looking forward to spending time with Don and seeing my friends (I miss the Betties!!!!).

In other news, le pug is le sick. She has a UTI and it looks like an ear infection. She doesn't want to eat and has been sleeping A LOT... :( I hate it when she feels bad. She needs to get better so we can go back to the dog park (and just in general).. she had so much fun last Saturday with the other Betties' puppies!


"Are we there yet Mama?"


Playing with her new buddies


Common misconception: pugs are slow. Not my girl! Run, pug, run!

Ok.. off to knit and baby my baby.

Hasta!

Hmmm....




What Sarah Means



You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong.

You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know.

You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do.



You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection.

You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.

You have the classic "Type A" personality.



You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something.

You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense.

You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.







You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out.

Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia.

Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person.



I like what this is saying, however, it's not entirely true. Except for the bit about me crushing you.

Sometimes...

... there just aren't words.



That's when I'm thankful there's a camera in my phone.
