“Getting to know you” meme

1) What was I doing 10 years ago?
I was seventeen years old 10 years ago - right about now I would be getting ready for marching band crank-up for my senior year in high school, and was probably spending most of my time at the beach.  I drove a white 1984 Celica GT-S 5-speed, and it was the love of my life at the time.

2) What are 5 things on my to-do list for today?
1. Pay bills
2. Hang with Ploman, Matt, etc.
3. Play with the kitties
4. Eat Cuban food
5. Cook a yummy dinner

3) Snacks I enjoy:
Fruit, veggies/fruit with almond butter, I don’t usually have “snack” stuff in my house, though I’ll grill up a Vegan Griller (with Mrs. Dash Chipotle) sometimes…If I’m on a roadtrip and it’s roadtrip calorie-free snack, then a moonpie that’s been on the dashboard warming up, or luna bars (lemon zest), or if I’m having a really bad day, Lindt Extreme Orange.

4) Things I would do if I were a billionaire:
Buy a house in Key West; buy a dude ranch in California; travel the world and take photos with top-of-the-line equipment; buy & run a tiny, full-of crooks and crannies and rare out-of-print books, bookstore.

5) Places I have lived:
Stuart, FL; Northampton, MA; Philadelphia, PA; Hartford, CT.

6) Jobs I have had:
Gas station manager; cashier at Publix (express lane, baby!); math tutor; co-owner of local dial-up ISP; telemarketer for the Potsdam Police Dept.

I fail at wifey-ness…

Apparently I make a very bad housewife:
13
As a 1930s wife, I am Very Poor (Failure)
Take the test!

What is a wife? According to Merriam-Webster online:

Main Entry:wife ‘ wif\ Function: noun Inflected Form(s): plural wives \ ‘ wivz\
Etymology: Middle English wif, from Old English wif; akin to Old High German wib wife and probably to Tocharian B kwipe female pudenda Date: before 12th century
1 a dialect:woman b: a woman acting in a specified capacity —used in combination <fishwife>2: a female partner in a marriage - wife·hood

But HUSBAND:
136
As a 1930s husband, I am Very Superior
Take the test!

Main Entry: 1hus·band Pronunciation: \h?z-b?nd\ Function: noun Etymology: Middle English husbonde, from Old English husbonda master of a house, from Old Norse husbondi, from hus house + bondi householder; akin to Old Norse bua to inhabit; akin to Old English buan to dwell — more at bower Date: 13th century 1: a male partner in a marriage2British : manager, steward3: a frugal managerhus·band·ly adjective
So apparently by 1930s standards, I make an amazing man/husband.
