I got tagged...

Jess (http://www.gagascorner.blogspot.com/) tagged me for this so here it goes:

1. What was I doing ten years ago?
10 years ago I was one week away from giving birth to my only daughter, Samantha! I was working in retail and managed a clothing store. My feet were swollen and I wore these pink Birkenstocks every single day. At the end of the day my feet would be stuck in them from the swelling. I also figured Samantha would come out with all sorts of bruises because I had a tendency to run into things... especially the counter at work that was even with my belly.

2. What are five things on my list to do today?
I love lists! Today the top 5 things are: Work on the plan for Samantha's birthday party, make hotel reservations for an upcoming show at work, get gas, put out the donations for the Kidney foundation pickup and take the chicken out of the freezer an put it in the fridge to thaw.

3. Snacks I enjoy?
Coffee, chocolate, cheese & pretzels and cereal...

4. Things I Would Do If I Were A Billionaire?
I like Jess' answer and since she tagged me to do this she can't say anything about my stealing it: "Throw more in several savings accounts, stash cash, invest more, take care of family, buy several thousand acres in Florida, Jackson Hole Wyoming, and in Montana. Then I'd open up a trust for everything." (Except the land would be in Costa Rica or Belize.)

5. Three of my bad habits?
Worrying, sleeping pills and picking at my child's ears...

6. Five places I have lived?
With my parents in Eden, NY in the same house until I went to college, then at Ohio Wesleyan until I graduated and moved to Upper Arlington, OH, then I moved into a tiny apartment in Victorian Village near Columbus, then when I got engaged John and I moved back to Upper Arlington then we moved to the East side of Columbus and then into our house... so, I've only lived in 7 different places and in only 2 states.

7. Five jobs I’ve had?
I don't know if I've had 5 jobs... I worked in retail right out of college for 3 different companies as a Store Manager and then I came to CBG Biotech where I am an event coordinator... I've been here 9 and a half years. The summer before College I worked at Wilson Farms which is ironic because that's where John worked his first job before he went into the military... We were in 2 different states though...

8. How did you name your blog?
Samantha one day told me her stummy hurt... she was trying to say stomach and tummy and came up with stummy. I thought that would make a great alias. The B part comes from John. In their police codes there is something called a 16B which means that a crazy person is causing a disturbance. The B stands for crazy person and I just thought it sort of fit: StummyB... Of course then Samantha needed an alias so we came up with Snofie Boom Boom.
