TAGGED

I am responding to Andy's TAG. I guess it's a new online fad, so why not? Here are my responses:

Questions

10 yrs ago: Living footloose and broke in Madrid, going to the dance club Maravillas a lot, pretending to work on a thesis that didn't really mean much, going off my anti-depressants to have money for concerts. I saw Supergrass, Tindersticks, Radiohead, missed Puressence by half an hour... and somehow got a Master's degree. Was friends with Jay (Jota in Spanish), Valeria and Alecia, did some acting and singing en espanol, had some super cool friends at church that I really wish I were still in touch with.

5 things on my list of things to do today:

1. Take meds -- I'm sure I'm messing it up because there are so dang many to keep track of!

2. Make sure the boys are clean, fed and happy (George is here to help). Make Jakey laugh.

3. Watch Make Me A Supermodel and Cash Cab and remember how way cool I am because I'm into that old British show The Prisoner.

4. Prepare to remember to get ready for the sleep clinic tomorrow night (shave legs, no lotion!)

5. Wig out over getting the dishes and laundry prefectly done.

Things I would do if I suddenly were a Billionaire:

Pay off our mortgage, maybe look for a good deal on a house in L.A. Hire housecleaning services, occasionally nanny service due to my heart weakness, give to friends and loved ones. Fly Beth out to visit, maybe other people too.

4 of my bad habits:

Poor diet -- caffeinated sodas, PANCAKES, skipping meals, lack of vegetables

Taking more than one sleeping pill at a time to get to sleep

Whining about how I have no will to live

Sleeping in my makeup

Places I have lived: Southern California; Tucson, AZ; Orem, UT; San Francisco, NYC, Burbank

Jobs I have had: Easter Bunny, Burger King Loser, Busser, Hostess, Waitress, CD Salesperson, Gravestone Seller, Executive Assistant

Things most people don't know about me: I eat cake out of the pan with a fork, I go to a shrink whose name is Drucilla, I sort of like some Backyardigans songs, I'm frighteningly morbid as far as the animal kingdom, I cry over being fat more than I cry over tornados in other parts of the world.
