So much for me getting back on track keeping up with the blog, so as a brief diversion, I'm going to post my answers to the Peeps I Want To Know More About meme, and claim that Wendy tagged me, since she said in her answers that anyone could answer. It's okay, my Junior Stalker pin is in the mail. :-)
1. What was I doing ten years ago?
I was working as a registered sales assistant in the investment division of a local bank, and made my first trip to Alaska.
2. What are five (non-work) things on my to-do list for today:
1) Update the blog; 2) go to Knit Together; 3) Buy paintbrushes at Wal-Mart; 4) finish the bloody basketweave sock; 5) E-mail chat with Zarah and Kate
3. Snacks I enjoy:
Ice cream is definitely my downfall. Gelato runs a close second. Then of course, there's chips and salsa, but it's got to be either Mexican Villa's sweet sauce or Red Cactus salsa - yum. Oh, and chocolate. Really good chocolate.
4. Things I would do if I were a billionaire:
Tithe. Pay off the mortgage (and start planning to build our dream house). Travel to all the wonderful places I've read about and haven't yet had the opportunity to go. Give a lot of the money away to family and friends - have a lot of fun with random acts of kindness.
5. Places I have lived:
Springfield, Missouri. With the exception of one 2 month period in an apartment, I have lived in the same zip code my entire life. Although as Robert says, I did own property in Battlefield, Missouri when we got married because he hadn't sold his house yet.
6. Jobs I have had:
Final inspector and shipping clerk in a photo lab. I've seen a lot of wedding and senior photos. A bank teller and registered investment sales assistant. Paralegal in a labor and employment private law firm representing management (see, Wendy and I have something else in common!). Accounting clerk in a software firm. Operations manager and compliance officer in a local independent broker-dealer/investment adviser, and my current position as Compliance Officer for a non-profit religious financial institution.
7. Peeps I want to know more about:
The usual suspects.

Are the basketweave socks really bloody, or are you just trying to be British? Images of possessed knitting needles causing bodily harm and creating actual bloody socks popped into my head when I read that. Ouch. Can you imagine Edward Scissorhands trying to knit. Yikes!

If I had a billion dollars, I think I would replace the van that is sitting dead in my driveway. And maybe buy a little sock yarn.
