That is really funny that you were so active you had to be tied to the bedpost. Does that mean you are going to have your hands full with Vijay or baby #2 :) Thanks for playing along, it was fun to read!!

Mmm. I have to think about listing things. Being an airhead means everything is in the air in my head, and now needs to be shuffled to organized thought. Here goes:

5 things on my To Do List:
Pray.
Read Scripture.
Complete job applications.
Do my laundry - it's in process - setting a timer makes it an efficient chore.
Go for a long walk, and listen to the birds!!!
5 Jobs I Have Had:
Secretary. Nanny. My longest job which I had for 15 years, 2 months, and 4 days, had no title - I was the There Person - I was there to deal with whatever needed attention, it was on a residential compound in Hollywood. Cafeteria Worker at the Master's College. And Mail-Room Assistant at the MAster's College.
5 Places I have Lived:
Consolidated Diamond Mines of S.W.A. (Pty) Ltd -- Oranjemund Division, Namibia (I lived on a Diamond Mine). Then boarding schools - Wynberg (Cape Town), East London - South Africa. San Francisco. Hollywood Hills. Santa Clarita.
5 Favorite Snacks:
Ice Cream - butter pecan, and pecan praline together!
Potato Chips.
Peanut Butter, and Blackberry Jam Sandwich.
Bowls of Basmati Rice, with butter.
Cookies.
5 Things You May Not Know About Me:
I was a very strict vegetarian for 23 years, and only used products that were animal cruelty free, only wore shoes made from man made materials, and called bbq's - carrion on coals.
I once wrote a 520 page historical novel, then shredded it after I was saved - it was not honoring of the Lord and would have been hurtful to some had it been published.
I won an award 'First Chapter - First Novel' for the shredded novel.
My first time around in college - I was an art student - I only completed one year of the program - I ran out of money.
When I was a kid I had a phobia about going to the movies - being in a dark theatre terrified me.
5 Things I Would Do If I Were A Billionaire:
My list is the same as yours, Joanna.
Give as much of it away as possible to further the growth of the Church. Buy a modest home to live in. A reliable car. And help my family. The Hollywood 15 year experience educated me well that money does not bring happiness, or joy.
5 Things I Love:
Well, it all comes back to one focus - the Lord. But I love to sit on my bed, read Scripture, and hear the birds chirping in the trees. Going for long walks. Visiting, talking with friends who are like-minded in things of the Lord. I love the knowledge that this world is temporary, and soon I'll be with the Lord - that I love.
