Time for some lighthearted fun..

Thanks to Princess LadyBug, who tagged me, and Focus, who should have.

10 years ago:
Funny timing of this - I was thinking about this the other day, as this very month marks the ten year anniversary from when hubby and I "met" online. I'd just started emailing my (now) DH, after being given his email address from a mutual friend who thought we had a lot in common. She didn't mean it romantically, and I remember that I was quick to set things straight, and told him he was much too old for me, so he shouldn't get any ideas.

I think the cliche "famous last words" would be applicable here.

5 years ago:
I was preparing for my wedding, working two (part-time) jobs. I was in heavy denial about what moving country actually required in terms of packing things up.

1 year ago:
I was fighting a rapidly losing battle at balancing life. I was working two (occasionally three) part-time jobs, at University full-time (though not accomplishing much) and trying to manage a household, even if that household only consisited of me and hubby. In the end, all the balls I was attempting to juggle ended up crashing down, but it taught me some valuable lessons.

Now:
I'm married with a 5-week old. I don't get enough sleep, I don't get enough to eat, largely because I really don't have enough time in the day. I don't have enough money. But I'm loving it. Of course, I'd love to win the lotto and have someone here to take care of me but I wouldn't trade Zamara, and anything / everything she comes with, for the world.

5 songs I know all the words to:
Studying Stones, by Ani Difranco
Edelweiss
One Week, by the Barenaked Ladies (okay, I know them, I just can't keep up with them)
Bohemian Raphsody by Queen
Dilate, by Ani Difranco

Not bad for variety ;-D

5 snacks I love and wish I could eat:
Taco Bell (I'm a cheap date)
An apple martini (okay, maybe not so cheap)
A peanut butter and jelly sandwich (hubby and I are having an ongoing debate whether I can eat this or not, as he insists it'll give Zamara a peanut allergy... )
Biscuits and gravy
A banana split, particularly if it was made by my buddy Verdatha

5 Places I'd run away to:
California
Scotland
Waiheke Island or Whanaki (it's a toss up)
New York City

Can't think of number 5.

5 things I'd never wear:
Not sure there is anything, in the right context.
But probably not a bikini, at least until I figure out a way to hide / get rid of these stretch marks

5 favorite TV shows:
Survivor
America's Next Top model
E.R.
Desperate Housewives
Dr. Phil

5 greatest joys:
Zamara
Hubby
Spike and Sarah
Knitting
The computer, as it allows me a connection with family and friends in the USA, and brings me fun in the form of games, and knowledge in the form of the internet (at least some pages... )
Scrapbooking

That's six, but I don't care. One can't have too many joys.

5 favorite toys:
Hubby
The computer
Camera

and I can't really think of any more...

I'm not tagging anyone else because the two main people I'd tag have already done it :-)
