Be careful what you wish for!
After just lamenting my lack of free time for knitting and blogging, I have been sidelined with an unwelcome stomach flu, leaving me at home on the couch this weekend instead of at the big, year-end, blowout camping trip with all my friends. But I'm trying to look on the bright side of things, instead of moping around. All this added free time that I wasn't expecting! Thank goodness for wireless internet and surfing blogs on my couch.
It's that time of year again. I finished another dishcloth last night!
And a meme all about me if you're interested. Thanks for the tag, Ann!
1. What was I doing 10 years ago?
I was 15, a year younger than all my friends, so while everyone was working full-time summer jobs, my mom took me with her to Japan, to visit a bunch of her quilting friends. They were lovely, but the heat, strange foods and language barrier made me extremely uncomfortable the whole time. It was my first time traveling overseas and I was pretty overwhelmed. By the time the trip was over, I was pretty convinced that I wouldn't ever be back here. Funny how things change!
2. What are 5 things on my to-do list for today?
1. Do the dishes
2. Shower
3. Watch Ugly Betty
4. Upload photos to Flickr
5. Cast on for another dishcloth
3. Snacks I enjoy:
Oh, I love snacks. Where do I start? Anything salty and sweet, like chocolate-covered pretzels or trail mix with m&m's. Also, cherries, chex mix, wheat thins, mint slice... I could go on and on.
4. Things I would do if I were a billionaire:
Visit my family more than once every two years, get a personal trainer, start a college scholarship fund.
5. Places I have lived:
Cleveland, OH
Washington, DC
Lyon, France
Mie, Japan
6. Jobs I have had:
1. Babysitter (probably the hardest of all my jobs)
2. Caddy
3. Telemarketer
4. Dorm security guard
5. Information booth worker
6. Admissions Aid
7. Resource Center Intern
8. Assistant Language Teacher
9. Prefectural Advisor
7. Bloggers I am tagging who I will enjoy getting to know better:
You! If you're reading this and haven't done it yet, consider yourself tagged.

Hi Molly !
Thank you for coming and visiting my blog, and for the mail I got from you. I can know you a little better, now ! So, you've been living in France, and speaking french, so funny that we met ! French must be quite difficult for foreigner speakers, I guess...
And japanese too !
à bientôt...
