Myrah tagged me. Be sure to visit her blog. Now, I have to think of folks to tag. Hmmm.
(Caution: This may be a little tough for me, since I'm a bit of a hermit and an anti-social person, so I've been told by a couple of friends. Say it ain't so! *hee hee* But I'll still give it try anyway.)
Zee's 5 Thangs List (Doesn't This Have A Chain Letter Feel To It?)
1 Ten Years ago - I had 3 years behind me in one of Uncle Leroy's (UL) health agencies. (Side Note: I picked up the UL term from Margaret's blog.) I was a project officer for a research study and thought I was on my way in this job.
2 Five Years Ago - I thought that I wanted to become a business school professor. My old apartment was full of grad school applications and GMAT study materials. I wrote essays that led to my invitation to attend the PhD Project's annual conference. When it came time for me to decide whether to leave my full-time job (money and benefits) and to jump into grad school, I made a last minute decision to not attend business school at that particular moment, because some things didn't feel right. I discovered that I loved reading and doing research, but the "corporate" cut-throat culture didn't sit right with me. Sometimes the mechanics of business and dealmaking aren't too pretty or ethical when you are in the thick of it. (Side Note: I still have a small Enron flashlight key chain from a job fair years ago.) I'll leave that at that. But I still want to teach on the college level in something like Education or Counseling. Stay tuned!
3 One Year Ago - I was in the process of househunting.
4 Yesterday - I decided to take a 2-day vacaction from work, although I'm use to working year round with very few days off.
5 Today - I'm taking a mini vacation from work to clean up my new place and to take it easy for a change.
6 Tomorrow - I'll return to work and try to catch up on my projects.
7 Five Snacks I Enjoy - Cupcakes, granola bars, ice cream, sunflower seeds, and cheese puffs. (honorable mention: carrots)
8 Five Bands I know All The Words (err... most words) To Their Music - Earth, Wind, and Fire; Incognito; Destiny's Child; Mint Condition; and Kindred the Family Soul.
9 Five Things I Would Do With $100,000,000.00 - First, I would have to tithe to a church or split up the 10% tithe and donate it to several churches according to their missions (education, helping the poor/homeless, daycare, domestic violence, health care, etc.). Then I'd pay off the bills for my family and myself. I would go back to grad school for the love of learning and enrichment purposes. I'd send my niece to any college of her choice when she gets old enough. And I'd purchase homes for my family and myself.
10 Five Locations I Would Like To Run Away To - St. Lucia, Jamaica, The Bahamas, Egypt, and Trinidad.
11 Five Bad Habits - Not taking vacations, not realizing when I'm tired, not getting enough sleep, watching tv until the wee hours of the morning, not understanding/listening to my intuition enough (which may be the voice of God).
12 Five Things I Like Doing - I love to read, surf the net, listen to music, cook, and watch tv.
13 Five TV Shows I like - The Golden Girls, Living Single, House Hunters on Home and Garden TV, The Twilight Zone (at 1 and 1:30 a.m.), and Airline! on the A&E channel.
14 Five Famous People I Would Like To Meet - Tavis Smiley, Michael Eric Dyson, Edwidge Danticat, Chuck D, and Dr. Mae Jemison. (I wish Malcolm X was alive, because I would love, love, love to hear his thoughts on various issues of today.)
15 Five Biggest Joys At This Moment - 1. Being a child of God. 2. Having family and friends who love and care about me. 3. Although my job gets on my last nerve, I'm thankful to be employed. 4. Having an endless stream of ideas. 5. Hope for the future and good things to come.
16 Five Favorite Toys - My computer, my bookcase cd changer, car stereo, old walkman, and cellphone.
17 Five People Plus Two Who Have Been Tagged - Sepia Gem, Melette, KeKe, Marchandite (Mr.D finish creating your blog, pretty please), Margaret, and SP.
(Note To The Tagged: Please accept my sincere apology. I didn't know whom else to tag. Besides, I think you will enjoy preparing the list just as much as the people who are going to read it.)

I'm soooo glad you took time out for yourself. Why not take the rest of the week while you're at it. YOU deserve it. :-)
Why you tag me, Z? Now I gotta do this thing. Daggonit!
Dang, Girl. I just got back from vacation and now I've been tagged. Just like Dee said, It'll probably take me 2 days to answer, but I'll start today. Only I don't have 7 people to tag!
Don't even worry about it. I'll just tag Shelly again! (Shel, I know you are reading this.)
It is a good post. It's good to learn more about you, even though you claim to be anti-social!
Ah, an edumacated sistah! These things sure make their rounds.
^5 on the tithing and the missions ie. domestic violence. That's my cause!
