Interactive Interview

A friend and former co-worker posted this tag-game on her blog but didn't really tag anybody. She left it open at the end for anybody who reads it and just wants to go with it. I like that! I don't really like tag/chain games but since I haven't updated Space Pebble Mountain in three months, this seemed like a fun way to launch myself back into the blogosphere.

1. What was I doing ten years ago?
Going to UNA full-time while serving as editor of the school's weekly newspaper, doing freelance work writing two or three advertorials each week for the local daily paper and working third shift at an answering service.
All that busy-ness pales in comparison to motherhood. But at least motherhood is enjoyable!

2. What are five things on my list to do today?
1 - call various roofers to schedule estimate visits
2 - pay the cable bill
3 - clean out the fridge
4 - do laundry (I don't even know why I put this on my list, since it'a daily chore)
5 - go for a run

3. Snacks I enjoy:
pan-popped popcorn (not the microwave stuff)
red delicious apple slices dipped in peanut butter
Edy's Double Fudge Brownie Ice Cream
Oreos
Doritos
Pop-Tarts

4. Things I Would Do If I Were A Billionaire?
1 - Set up trusts for my deserving friends and family to be provided for for the rest of their lives
2 - Buy massive amounts of undeveloped land that would otherwise be purchased by some greedy developer
3 - Help the homeless, hungry and otherwise downtrodden
4 - Try desperately to help figure out some way to stop and clean up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch


5. Three of my bad habits?
1 - I drink way too much coffee.
2 - I pick at/nibble my fingernails.
3 - Procrastination.

6. Five places I have lived?
1 - Fountain Run, Kentucky
2 - Manchester, Tennessee
3 - Fayetteville, North Carolina
4 - Fayetteville, Tennessee
5 - The Dismals Canyon in Phil Campbell, Alabama

7. Five jobs I’ve had?
1 - Newspaper Reporter for The News Courier
2 - Recycling Coordinator for Keep Athens-Limestone Beautiful
3 - part-time DJ at a country radio station (WXFL Kix-96)
4 - Assistant Director for a large (we were licensed for 173 children) Child Care Center
5 - Attendent at The Dismals Canyon in Phil Campbell, Alabama

8. How did you name your blog?
Check out a previous post,How This Mountain Did Arise, for this answer.


The rules of the game: Each player answers the questions about themselves in their post. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5-6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.

I'm gonna tag some folks, but they only hafta play if it really strikes their fancy to do so! No pressure!
Here we go: Rebekah, AZ, Michael, Tim, Laura, Stephanie, Sam, Gretta, Kim, Marty, Barry.
