This meme is going around. I've never done a meme yet, so as I've no new knitting progress to show...
What was I doing 10 years ago?
I had just finished graduate school and was moving back to the midwest.
5 things on my to-do list today.
Doing laundry.
Grocery shopping.
Making a dish for a work-related party.
Going to that work-related party.
Continuing to clean out 3 closets.
Snacks I enjoy.
Please...the easier question to answer would be snacks I don't enjoy.
As for top favorites, for something sweet - chocolate. Any kind of chocolate.
For something salty/crunchy, Walkers Salt & Vinegar Crisps. The snack companies in the US have no idea how to make good salt and vinegar potato chips. They load them with TONS of salt.
Where are some of the places I've lived?
Well, this is boring. With the exception of living in Florida for 3 years, I've always lived in the midwest, specifically places in Michigan and Wisconsin. DH has lived in much more exciting locations, like Brazil, San Francisco, the Phillipines, Seattle, and other places.
What things would I do if I was a billionaire?
Of course there are the typical things I would do which I think are a part of everyone's list: make certain our families are financially set, give to favorite charities; have a knitting studio or room devoted to knitting - with a comfy chair, a TV (with Turner Classic Movies) and lots of natural light.
But mainly, I'd want to travel, travel, travel.
After accompanying Jean to see the cats of Lake Van and her other wonderful sites, I'd organize a trip to see places I haven't had the opportunity to travel to (yet). Who wants to come along? A good starting point would be the new 7 wonders of the world. DH is ahead of me, as he has already seen the Colosseum in Rome, Machu Piccchu in Peru, the Great Wall of China, and the Christ the Redeemer statute in Rio de Janeiro.
Then, I'd start on this list.
And it should go without saying that any flight more than 3 hours in duration would be spent in business class, not economy.

I live in a World Heritage Site -- the Edinburgh New Town. So when you work you way down the list that far, you can come to tea and we can talk about our happy days at Lake Van.
Couldn't agree more about the salt & vinegar crisps - Walkers really are the only mainstream choice, although some minor British brand that I can't remember used to do a version that was stingingly vinegary and hence truly wonderful. Sometimes, if you got a particularly potent packet, they'd bring tears to your eyes. Yummy! I can't abide any other flavour of crisp, I am a salt & vinegar purist. And don't get me started on sea salt and balsamic vinegar - not at all within the spirit of the thing!
