Friday Five
I haven't done a Friday Five in a while...
You have just won one million dollars:
1. Whom do you call first?
My husband at work, I imagine.
2. What is the first thing you buy for yourself?
Acreage and a house.
3. What is the first thing you buy for someone else?
Probably something for my parents, not sure what.
4. Do you give any away? If yes, to whom?
I think, aside from the chunk that Uncle Sam would of course take off the top, I would end up giving a lot of it away -- to Christian ministries, homeless missions, our library...
5. Do you invest any? If so, how?
I am clueless about this. We'd probably buy some stock, or maybe put it somewhere really safe for retirement or to help the kids with college.
I've been having a weird kind of week. T has been sick. LT is displaying some tics that make me think he probably has Tourette's (this week he changed from blinking to yawning). I've been feeling like time has just been whizzing by so fast that I can't even see what's going on in the blur around me. It's almost February, for crying out loud! How did that happen?
School has been going well; we have a classroom now that's separate from the main house and that makes it MUCH nicer as far as keeping everything neat and making the kids enthusiastic about school. Not to mention that I found a bunch of stuff I'd forgotten I had while we were moving, which gave me a bunch of new ideas which are working out nicely. yay. And while I'm updating about standard diary stuff I'll mention that I'm at my lowest weight since I got married -- 165 -- and yes, it HAS taken me long enough to get here! yikes. I'm back on track and now my hope/plan is to be at my goal of 150 (size 10) by April 1st. Wish me luck.
I've been keeping a real diary, and as a result this one has suffered. I really was getting tired of trying to draw the line between exhibitionism and a creative outlet anyway. What's the point? So when I feel like it, I write, and when I don't, I don't, which explains the fact that there have been, what, five entries in January? (yawn). I knew it would happen; it just took longer than I thought.
