It's Time to Party a la Mommyfest!

Hi. My name is Ivy and I started this blog to document precious moments with my daughter (Marguerite, 19 mos). It has since grown to include many other aspects of my life. Many details about myself are already enumerated in the About Me part of the sidebar, but to include some other facts about me, I’m answering a few questions I’ve been tagged with on one of my message boards.

***What I was doing 10 years ago:
In 1998, I was dating my future husband, finishing college and getting ready to enter the workforce.

***Five snacks I enjoy:
I have cravings depending on my mood, but as a rule, I love chips and pies.

***Things I would do if I were a billionaire:
I would increase my tithe. I would regularly treat my family to something fantastic. I have several charities in mind. I would spend seasons in idyllic locales (summer in Eze, winter in Zurich, fall in Paris, etc.). I would invest in big business as well as open a “little shop ‘round the corner” kind of store. I would buy and restore a lighthouse. I would work on my life’s to-do list (go on a paddlewheel showboat, visit Stratford-on-Avon, watch marionettes in Prague, yodel in the Austrian Alps, go sugaring in a maple farm, etc.)

***Five jobs that I have had:
writer, teacher, translator, cataloger/encoder of archaic documents, customer service representative

***Three of my habits:

read, write, daydream

***Five place I have lived in:
- Marikina City, Philippines

- Subic Bay, Philippines

- California, USA (just a short time)

- Santander, Spain (ditto)

***Five People I Want to Get to Know Better (aka Tag):

All of you - pls inform me if you did it, would love to read your answers.
