I received this from Mary, and will do my best.
1.) What Was I Doing 10 Years Ago?
Ten years ago I was preparing to move in with my father, to help out, as he was getting along in years. He was 88 at the time, and living alone. I lived with him, and helped out as much as he would let me. It's a tricky thing, walking that fine line between care giving and supporting independence in the elderly. But those were some of my most memorable years. I stayed with him up until his death, and learned many things about my father. I was indeed blessed.
2.) Five Things on Today's To-Do List?
Schedule a transportation appointment, done.
Refill prescriptions, done.
Dust all the furniture in the house, incomplete.
Write this post, ongoing.
Dispose of trash, done.
3.)Things to do If I were a Billionaire.
Wow, what a thought. There are certain charities that I would support. One particularly that I support is called Christian Outreach. They are wonderful about getting food to needy families. It is a marvelous organization and very respectful to those in need.
I would set up a few scholarships, one especially in my late son's name.
I would prepay my own funeral expenses, so when I go, all that would be necessary is to lay me out, and then plant me.
I would buy land, and have a modest house somewhere in the country, with lots of trees and little animals.
I would try to give back what I have been given.
4.) Three Bad Habits?
I smoke, which is probably the worst habit anyone can have, but I have cut down a lot. Today, I will smoke 3 cigarettes. That's still 3 too many, but damn, I love my cigarettes.
I worry too much. I try to anticipate the worst, while hoping for the best, but I'm learning to just accept what is.
Procrastination. I will put off certain things as long as possible, until I can't stand myself for not doing it.
5.)Five Places I have lived.
I have lived in a lot of different places, it seems, but mostly in the south. Seems whenever I have moved, a new chapter in life began. I have lived in:
Pensacola, Florida
Surrency, Georgia
Spring Grove, Virginia
St. Albans, West Virginia
Ivor, Virginia
6.) Five Jobs I have Had
I have worked as a:
Convenience Store Clerk
Hospital CNA
Nursing Home CNA
Retail Sales Clerk
Swine Production Worker
So, there you have it. A little bit more about me. I'm not going to tag anyone, but feel free to use this if you like.

A little bit more about you is good to know better than nothing about you :)
Good stuff. Procrastination is a bitch isn't it. There seems to be a least a little in all of us. I try to jump right on anything I'm procrastinating about and kill the beast.
I am pretty impressed that you can smoke only 3 a day. Good girl. I mean there should be no smoking at all but to be able to control such a thing is great. I quit when I got pregnant and that was simple due to nausea and of course caring about the baby. Luckily I never picked it up again. But I do still sometimes think how relaxing it would be to go outside and have a smoke.
Good point, SJ
Mary, I quit smoking when I was pregnant as well, but picked it up again.

I stopped while I was pregnant and picked it up again too. I always say when my life gets less stressful but I don't no if it ever will. I have to ask what does a swine production worker do?
I just did that one, bit I only had to go back 5 years!
Nice list!
Swine production worker?? Wow. Sounds icky. Lol!
Anne
I bet that swine production worker job had a lot of benefits and paid well...right?...At least I'm hoping....
I stumbled upon your blog and read about your son. I am so incredibly sorry. I want you to know that I do appreciate what he worked for, and will include him and you and your family in my prayers.
Sorry I haven't been by. I am back blogging, slowly but surely.
Deb...oh, Deb, where art thou?
That delete was me sorry, published before I'd done. I have been away for a while so wanted to check how your doing. I see you've had the designers in, very nice indeed. I would have no idea how to update my blog, tried to add folks from my bookmark onto my blog roll and lost them whoosh just like that.
Now smoking I won't go there (I'm really trying honest).
