So I've seen this meme floating around - although this version seems supercharged in size. Regina Clare Jane has tagged me so here goes. Happy Reading - this will take a while!
What I was doing 10 years ago: One year out of college. Just returned from a year in Switzerland as an au pair. Working a temp job. Applying for a job with the City (which I started in November 1995). I was not a practicing Catholic having temporarily abandoned/ignored the church my Junior year in high school.
What I was doing 5 years ago: Working at the City in the job I have now. I had returned to the Church a year or so earlier. I just started as co-chair of my parish Peace & Justice Commission. Teaching Sunday Pre-School. RCIA sponsor.
What I was doing 1 year ago: In a discernment tailspin - could God really be calling me to religious life? Looking for a spiritual director. Completely and utterly bored with my job. Super active with my Pax Christi Chapter and Peace & Justice Commission. Starting as vice-chair of my Pastoral Council.
What I was doing yesterday: Celebrating my 33rd birthday with friends.
5 snacks I enjoy: yogurt, fruit, pita chips, celery with peanut butter and nuts (I'm trying to be healthy)
5 songs I know all the lyrics to: A Minor Incident (Badly Drawn Boy) Caught in Love (Belle & Sebastian), Song for You (Ben Lee), Stratford-on-Guy (Liz Phair), Let There Be Peace on Earth and lots more….
5 things I would do with a 100 million: pay off my debt, pay off my family's debt, pay off my parish's debt, endow the groovy sisters, provide clean water in developing countries with the rest
5 locations to which I would like to run: Ireland, Ocean, Alaska, Holland to visit my brother & his kids, China
5 bad habits I have: not delegating, not making time to exercise, not keeping up on housework, not getting enough sleep, not asking for help (a lot of "nots"!)
5 things I like doing: long walks, reading, social justice work, travel, blogging
5 things I would never wear: spiked heels, thong, halter top, poncho, terry cloth
5 T.V shows I like: West Wing, Ballykissangel, Law & Order, Antiques Roadshow, House
5 biggest joys of the moment: life, friends, sunshine, prayer time, making progress and friends on this discernment journey
5 favorite toys: lap top, car, latest mystery novel, godson, goddaughter (they're not toys but I love to play with them!)
5 next victims: I'm not tagging anyone. For one thing I have no idea who's done this already. If you want to play, feel free

Happy Belated birthday!
Hmmm... Ireland seems to be on a lot of people's list to run to- it really is a sacred place- as soon as you step off the airplane, you can feel it in the air. I am not Irish, but I am IBM- or Irish by Marriage- and I am very proud of that! BTW, Susan Rose, dear friend-HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
