We'll see if blogging feels different on the new Mac. So far, I have to say it does, largely because, well, it's larger; I have more room to rest my arms on a 17" than a 15". Sweet!
FIVE THINGS
Sigh. More talking about myself. Joy. From my so-called friend Todd. You'd think being an only child I'd enjoy talking about myself more but I'm easily the most boring topic on the planet. Seriously. Anyway, two meme's in a row should absolve me from these things for a while, should they not? YES, THEY SHOULD.
What I was doing 10 years ago - Spring 1998:
1. Carrying around my 8-month old daughter
2. Preparing to move from our 3/2 2000sq ft apt in Redwood City to our 2/1 900sq ft rental house in San Jose
3. Working at what was easily the most emotionally and intellectually fulfilling web design gig I've ever had at the Tech Museum of Innovation
4. Smoking 20-25 cigarettes a day
5. Eating anywhere between 1500-5000 calories a day
Five things on my to-do list today:
1. Drink this here tasty grande skinny iced latte that my lovely Mr. just brought me
2. Finish stapling the reed fence to the inside of the wood fence
3. Nail carpet tack strips to the top and bottom of said wood fence (and then spray with habanero-infused water) to thwart neighborhood squirrels from further terrorization of my patio. <!-- insert evil cackle-->
4. Shower (bitch got the stank)
5. Go to first Pirates of Penzance get-acquainted/music rehearsal at 7:30....eek
Snacks I enjoy: (pre-surgery, actually...post-surgery, I actually don't eat any of this stuff anymore. Oh well.)
1. Stacy's Naked Pita Chips
2. Fuji apples with peanut butter
3. Pretty much anything dipped into a chocolate fountain
4. Japanese rice crackers with mixed nuts (otherwise known at Chez Creth as "crack")
5. Fritos, Fritos, Fritos. With guac, queso, refritos, nekkid, no matter. I bathe happily in their salty, corny goodness
Things I would do if I were a billionaire:
1. Pay off my house and rent it out after we build our completely green post-modern straight-out-of-Dwell-Magazine modular home on enough acreage that we don't have to deal with people if we don't want to and never have to worry about having enough space again
2. Buy Chris and I the hybrid or pure electric/hydro vehicles of our choice
3. Put away a decent portion in a short-term interest fund for Julia's college/car/set-up
4. Put away a HUGE portion in a long-term interest fund for security
5. Relax, knowing I'm able to finally contribute both my time and money to the causes I care about in the broad strokes I'd like to when it matters most
Five of my bad habits:
1. Perfectionism/obsessive-compulsiveness
2. Night Owlishness
3. Bossiness
4. Impatience
5. Laziness
Five places I have lived:
1. Bay St. Louis, MS
2. Baton Rouge, LA
3. Lynnfield, MA
4. Palo Alto, CA
5. Las Vegas, NV
Five jobs I've had:
1. Cashier (University Art Center and T&C Pharmacy, Palo Alto, CA)
2. Screenprint pattern-cutter (F&S Bowling & Trophy Supply, Mountain View, CA)
3. Alternative-bookstore assistant manager (Opening Books, Huntsville, AL)
4. Frozen yogurt pump-jocky (Heidi's Frogen Yozert, Palo Alto, CA)
5. Desktop publishing coordinator (Kinko's, Campbell, CA)
Five people I tag:
Claire, Annie, Derek, Brian, and Lotti

Do you still think after composing this that you are the most boring topic on the planet? Come on, go back and read that objectively. Not boring.
And I don't even begin to comprehend this not liking talking about yourself. If you're going to get back into theater, you're going to have to get over that. Try it, it's fun. I, I, I, me, me, me. See? Now that was fun, wasn't it? You know it was.
Geez, B - you think *you're* boring? I'm so dull no one's ever tagged me! Lolz!
Ha! You were a Kinko's DTP Coordinator too? I did that at the Mtn View store on El Camino just before we moved to Seattle (5 years total with that company - it was my "college job").
Yups. I was the DTP chickie at the Campbell store right out of college for about a year and a half until I got my first gig as a web designer. Worked all shifts over that 1.5 years, even graveyard. And honestly, I think I liked that best; slept all day, got to see Chris at night, went to work where it was nice and quiet with no customers and got all my work done and listened to music and farted around on my own projects to fill the time. Watched the sun rise, went home, kissed hubby awake, had a cuppa with him (decaf for me), saw him off to work, went to bed. Was lurvely. Pre-Julia, of course.
*sigh*
reading your posts made me dust off my own blog...wouldn't it be a trip to see you down in Bay St. Louis? That inn seems charming though the pic reminds me of my dad's house and makes me laugh at how he'd probably put a clause in his will that it would never become a bed & breakfast...Anyway my blog's at http://konradical.wordpress.com/
if you stop by it'll give me some motivation to return and make it coherent, which it really isn't -- it started as a way to take notes on things I'm interested in. But personal history's fascinating too in ways the person usually doesn't see.
KA, you're on the blogroll now, buddy. Keep writing. ;)
