Filler and Fluff

I have been so busy this past week and have not had much time to accomplish much. So in the object of not getting out of the habit of posting (I'm really enjoying it) I'm throwing up a meme that's been floating around.

1) What was I doing 10 years ago?
I was seventeen, already done with what passed for high school and helping my parents build a house in a teeny, tiny town of 700 called Potlatch, Idaho. It was actually 20 miles outside of that teeny tiny town, so very rural and isolated. I remember I  helped my dad completely rewire an old trailer that was on their 40 acres and also install sheet rock and tape it. Things that still come in handy! There were many, many days of getting up at dawn and working all day until sundown but I also remember it as being a really fun summer and a year that I spent a lot of time with my dad.

2) What are five things on my to-do list for today?
1. Wash scrubs- I just finished a long stretch at work and have quite a pile.
2. Spin as much as I possibly can :)
3. Go to the post office and mail a package to my friend Ineke
4. Figure out what's for dinner
5. Plant my plants that I got at the farmer's market on Saturday

3) Snacks I enjoy:
This is hard because I kind of rotate snacks around... but right now I'd have to say
1. Edamame
2. rice cakes, bonus if they're with honey
3. this time of year I'm loving watermelon

4) Things I would do if I were a billionaire:
Freak out!

5) Places I have lived:
1. Coeur d'Alene, Idaho
2. Potlatch, Idaho
3. Indianapolis, Indiana
4. Chicago, Illinois
5. Everett, Washington
Although I never made it in any of the last three for more than six months so I don't know if I can really count them. I really am an Idaho girl at heart (at least I've tried to move away).

6) Jobs I have had:
1. Babysitter
2. Checker at Floyd's Excell Foods- I knew everyone by name in town and what brand of cigarettes they smoked.  One man even proposed marriage to me at the counter and he wasn't joking. Small towns...
3. Nanny- I had fun summers doing this, sitting at the pool and the beach all the time.
4. Certified Nursing Assistant
5. Nurse Tech at Sunshine Gardens- I did this for almost two years while I was going to nursing school.
6. LPN at an outpatient GI clinic- yay butts!
7. RN at a nursing home, LTAC, travel nursing, Cardiac Care and just this week I took another job working on call at our local hospital. Considering 6 and 7 have all been in the last 4 years my resume is a mess. It's a good thing nurses are in high demand.

Play along if you like, I enjoy reading these kinds of things.
