Photo Meme

I've been tagged by Reading Mama! Let's see, fifth photo in the fifth folder. Hmmmm. . . Searching, searching, OK, got it. Here we go:



It's Max! The pic is from 2007, and he's probably waiting for someone to throw a ball. That's his usual activity. :-) And just for extra credit, here's Skye from the same folder:



Such handsome men, if I don't say so myself! :-)

In a previous post I declared the rest 2009 to be tag-free here at Books 'N Border Collies, so I won't tag anyone specifically. But if you want to play along, post the fifth photo in the fifth folder in your photos stash and leave a link here so we can check it out!

5 Things

I've been tagged! Zetor over at Mog's Blog has requested that I answer a few questions. I think I can do that! :-)

1. What were you doing 5 years ago?

At this time 5 years ago, I was moving out of my little apartment that I had lived in all by myself for 10 years and into the new house Peter and I had bought. Then I had to get used to living with someone. :-)

2. What 5 things are on your to-do list today?

Write this meme :-)
Grocery shop
Go for a walk with Peter, Skye and Max
Read "The Aviary Gate"
Plan my post for a Georgette Heyer book giveaway!!! (Details coming this weekend)

3. What 5 snacks do you enjoy?

Cheese and crackers
Doritos and fat-free sour cream
Potato chips and onion dip
Babaganoush and pita bread
Pretty much anything with cream cheese. Or just cheese in general.
Hmmmm. . . I'm not seeing anything very healthy here.


4. What 5 thinks would you do if you were a billionaire?

Quit my job so I wouldn't have that horrid commute.
Pay off all my family members' loans so they can start fresh.
Pay to build an indoor agility building and new floor matting at our dog school.
Donate a whole load of money to charities.
Build or buy a home with a much bigger yard, a screen house or porch so Peter has a place to smoke his pipes and cigars, and room for a nice library.


5. What 5 jobs have you done?

Waitress
Bass player
Belly dancer
Singer
Proof reader


I know a whole bunch of folks have already done this one. The answers have been so much fun to read! Consider yourself tagged if you haven't done this meme and want to. Make sure you leave a comment if you do, so I can see what you wrote!

Six Random Things About Me

I've been tagged! Rose City Reader requests Six Random Things About Me. Since I tend not to be real private, I had to think pretty hard to come up with six things that might be new to people who read this blog. Now that I think about it, maybe they didn't need to be "new" things, but how much fun is it to read a list things you already know?

Here goes:

1) I talk about competing in agility all the time on these posts, but here's a nugget that was before this blog's time: Our very first run in our very first competition, Max and I qualified and got first place! And he earned his first title that day, too! Good boy! I have that first blue ribbon framed in our hallway. Skye Q'd 9 for 9 and finished all of his Level 1 titles at his second competition!

2) Peter and I met when I went back to school to keep my brain busy after a depressing break-up. He was my Intermediate Algebra teacher. We didn't date until after the semester was over, so all was on the up and up! :-)

3) I'm a lead singer now, but when I played in bands in the 80's I was the bass player.

4) I used to be a belly dancer. I took lessons for 5 years, danced in Middle Eastern restaurants for a year, and I still have four of the most gorgeous constumes I have ever seen.

5) Years ago, I was friends with Kiss' drummer, Eric Carr. (RIP, Eric. We still think about you. . .)

6) I have this recurring fantasy of competing in an Ironman Triathlon. I even read books about training for it. The problem is I don't like to get wet, and I don't like biking. Go figure. I guess what I really wish is that I was that fit! :-)


I won't officially tag anyone since I know a lot of you have done this previously. But if you haven't, consider yourself "it"! :-)
