Mauri and Sherry

Posted By Sherry on May 22, 2008

Beloved daughter #1 (of 2) Abbie of beloved coworker #1 (of 1), Denise, tagged me with this meme. I certainly wouldn’t want to deprive you faithful blog readers of the following information about me, so here goes!

5 things in my bag:
I take it this means purse, but that’s probably an old-fashioned term. I have a weakness for buying purses (at Goodwill, mostly), but I tend to carry the same one, a small one because I really only usually need two things.
1—a classy red spring clippy thing to hold my credit card, driver license, punch cards, library card, insurance card, etc.
2—cash/coin purse, a stocking-stuffer gift from Ben, years and years ago
3—two, yes two, thumb drives. One holds 4G of data. Wouldn’t want to be caught without at least one.
4—spare pair of glasses
5—gum, Orbit bubble mint, my latest favorite

5 things in my room
We call our room “the sanctuary.” It’s not media free but no TV’s in there. Two skylights brighten it early in the morning this time of year, and I’d be curious to see what shade of gray the carpet is under our bed after nearly 14 years of protection from the sun.
1—a California king, half water, half foam. We agreed to disagree.
2—a headboard that once served as the back door
3—a comfy chair with matching ottoman that holds all kinds of stuff that really will be put away one of these days
4—books, lots and lots and lots of books
5—an antique “secretary” that Mauri and Margaret-Rose bought at a junk store in Aurora, Illinois, when they were newlyweds

5 things I’ve always wanted to do
Goodness, this might be hard, but I’ll give it a whirl.
1—drive on the “wrong” side of the road, legally, of course. Maybe I’ll get to some day.
2—snorkel above a coral reef off Australia or New Zealand
3—watch really good movies from get up to bedtime. Okay, I’ve come close to doing this.
4—swing dance. In my next life, my parents will not think dancing is a sin. (They raised me by a high standard, and I have no regrets.)
5—

5 things I’m currently into
These might be obvious if you’ve followed this blog.
1—pictures, documenting/preserving/enjoying the past (but not living in it)
2—watching movies, buying movies
3—my dear man, his/my/our family, family, family, family
4—blogging, reading blogs, Scrabulous, Facebook
5—golf (just kidding)

5 people who should do this meme
Ummmmm…
1—Any
2—body
3—who
4—wants
5—to
