6 Things Meme

5. July 2008, 3:31 pmMemesGemisht

Guera of Roaming Aussie Mum has tagged me for this meme. Go and check her place out if you haven’t already, I love her blog’s new look. Anyway, back to the meme. Here’s the rules:

I have to answer 6 questions about myself. At the end of the post, I then tag 6 people and post their names, then go to their blogs and leave them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read my blog. Then, I must let the person who tagged me know when I’ve posted my answers.

6 Places I Have Lived

  • Sydney, I have lived the majority of my life here, but to get the 6 places I have to break it down a bit
    • Family home where I grew up, on the Northern Beaches of Sydney
    • 2nd family home in the northern suburbs of Sydney
    • Our old house on this block of land, which we demolished in 2004
    • The house we currently live in which replaces the old house.
  • England, for a year in 1987
  • Canada, for a year in 1991/1992

What was I doing 10 years ago?

We had been married for 3 years, Tiger was 1 and in November 1998 I found out I was pregnant with Daisy.

I was learning Calligraphy, doing classes one night a week and loving it. I was working 3 days a week selling furniture.

Where will I be in 10 years time?? Who knows. Hopefully I will have finished Uni, Tiger will have finished school and Daisy will be almost finished. Apart from that, I am not even going to try and guess what the future holds for me.

5 Things on My To-Do List Today

  1. Washing, Folding and Ironing
  2. Order text books for Semester 2 for Uni
  3. Tidy and organise a few rooms in the house that badly need it
  4. Wash my car (depending on the weather of course)
  5. Read a book

Snacks I like to eat

  • Cheese on Vita-Weats
  • PB & J sandwiches (I love seeing my kids reactions when they see me eating this)
  • Milk Chocolate
  • Camembert or Brie (I’m not fussy, either one will do)on wheaten biscuits. If I am feeling very extravagant, a creamy blue cheese with rockmelon (no biscuit). Mmmmm yummy

If I was a billionaire

The first thing that I would do would be to pay our mortgage off. Then give some to family or buy a house for them. Some of them would be better off without a wad of cash :) Then I would put some in trust for the kids until they are older and wiser, and pay all their school fees for the next however many years. Then I would buy myself one of my dream cars and go cruising for a few months.

I would give some money to the business so that we can build our own premises just the way that we want them. And like Guera, pay a great big lump of money to our local kids hospital. Neither of my kids have had major health issues but Daisy has been in there three times for operations as well as an emergency visit when she stuck her finger in Tiger’s bike chain. The staff there were absolutely fantastic every time we have been and I would not hesitate to go back there or to recommend it to anyone that unfortunately needs their kids to go to hospital. I would probably also make donations to research specifically related to kids. I’m not sure which one though, there’s not one in particular that I can think of.

And I don’t really want billions, millions would do, even one million would be fine. Its all a dream though, a nice dream though. And we all need dreams don’t we.

    You eat blue cheese??? Now THAT explains a lot!!!
    :lol:
    PB & J? Annie and ~m would relate to that…it simply eludes me I’m afraid…

    And what the hell does that mean??? What on earth does me eating blue cheese explain??? Huh, huh????? Now you have to explain yourself

    And PB &J is good - a wonderful combination of sweet and savoury. Almost as good as PB and Banana.

    I do believe that I have done this one. I will dig through the archives and see if I can trick out my responses a bit and repost it.

    Hey Gem,
    I love the brie too. I could almost live on it. I liked too what you would do with the wad of money. I’d probably do about the same. I had to laugh about the comment that some would be better of without a wad of cash, that made me giggle. These memes are great to get to know each other. I enjoyed this.

    Evyl, if you’ve already done it and don’t want to do it again then that’s fine :)

    Annie - Mmmm brie. And its true though isn’t it, some people are just better off without a wad of cash, who knows what they would do with it. The mind boggles. Memes like this are great for getting to know everyone a bit more.

    It explains the mouldy bits!
    :lol:

    Oops sweetie, I have done it too !!!!

     
  9. Jayne (8 comments.), 7. July 2008, 10:52

    Love blue cheese!
    And I’m partial to PB & J on toast at times ;)

     
  10. Bettina (1 comments.), 7. July 2008, 20:26

    I’m a cheese and vita weats gal too, or salada’s or sao’s or…….. lol

    I like PB and Honey not jam though.

     
  11. Gemisht, 7. July 2008, 21:01

    Anonymum - there might be some cobwebs, and the odd silverfish, but certainly no mouldy bits :p

    Kaylee - thanks for stopping by :)

    WS - I think that there might be some confusion between this and the 6 word meme, this one is different to the 6 word one :)
    Jayne - see that’s where I am weird, if I am having toast I will have PB on one slice and jam on the other, if I am having a sandwich then I have PB on one side, jam on the other and slap em together :)

    Bettina - saladas, saos, they’re all great. I’m just not a great fan of Jatz. Anything but Jatz, honestly.

    This was very interesting to read! I love finding out little bits and pieces that help to make up the whole person.
    Thanks for tagging me. I have never done this meme.

     
  13. Gemisht, 9. July 2008, 11:09

    Tiff - sometimes the little things tell you more about the person than the big things. Does this mean that you will be playing along??? Excellent :)

     
  14. michaelm (2 comments.), 9. July 2008, 12:56

    we would get along very well as far as snacks go.
    Just leave me more Brie, okay?
    Or do I have to fight you for it? ;)
    ~m

     
  15. Gemisht, 9. July 2008, 16:47

    Michael - I think, depending on how much brie we had to start with, that I may need to fight you for it. But then that depends on what sort of blue cheese it is too. If its my favourite one, I might even leave all the Brie for you :)

    Anonymum - PMSL, its coming. I’m doing it today. Promise :)
