I’ve been in the midst of house fever so I haven’t been knitting that much or taking pictures of things other than food. So just to have something to post….
1.What was I doing 10 years ago? Hmm well I was 21. Which means I Had just moved back to St. Louis from a failed relationship/move to Montreal. So I was going out a lot and looking for mr wrong. I was also working my ass off to save enough to go back to school. Fortunately I was a cocktail slugger at a casino and the high rollers loved me. Even though at the time I didn’t care for the job the one thing that broke me of most of my shyness was being a waitress so it was a good thing.
2. What are 5 things on my To Do list today? A) Finish this blog post B) Catch up on email C) make sure all my paperwork is in order for my long separation from my husband D) Clean up the house E) Meet with builder and ask questions.
3. Snacks that I enjoy? Hummus and Puff onion paratha ( I know I’m mixing countries but its very good), Japanese Gummi, Gyoza/potstickers, Samosas, Pretzels and cream cheese
4.Things I would do if I was a billionaire: A) Start a school in the middle east for victims of ‘marriages of convenience’ (this delightful practice allows people to sell their daughters into essentially legal prostitution and most times the families do not want the girls back which leaves them limited options other than prostitution) B) Buy a huge craftsman home or build a replica of gamble house C) Buy a horse and train for eventing D) Fund a rescue for failed racehorses E) Start a business that specializes in restoring historic homes and modernizing them but keeping in the spirit of the original period.
