Harveys At Home

Leanne from Journeyer’s Chronicles has tagged me for a Getting to Know You meme.  I’m usually really slack with these and tend to leave them too late and then think it’s pointless filling them in.  But I have made an effort with this one, mainly because the questions are slightly different to last last few I’ve read on other blogs.

So here goes!

What were you doing 10 years ago?

Oh that’s a hard one to start with!  1998…  I was 19, going to uni, working tonnes, spending lots of my free time with Marc, ummm I have absolutely no idea what else!  Can I blame my lack detail on having Baby Brain?  I’m going to have to – it’s all I’ve got to give you!   If only we were blogging way back then, I could just give you a few linked posts to read!!!

Five things on your to do list

1. Bug Marc about getting his tax done.
2. Tidy my desk – the only free space is where my laptop sits…
3. Fold the seven loads of washing I’ve piled on my bed (motivation to get to see my bed by tonight!)
4. Make a start on the baby’s room which is kind of like a black hole for all things we haven’t found a home for as yet.
5. Find Owen a new bed and agree on one.  Soon!

What snacks do you like?

When I’m pregnant I drink litres and litres of plain milk, but also chocolate milk, which is something I don’t drink any other time.  I am a chocoholic, so there is always that option and I am always partial to a good Lady Finger banana, an Imperial mandarin and of course, any stone fruit in summer.  Water is also a staple of mine and one I’d class as a snack – I know I will never, ever need to worry about not drinking the Recommended Daily Intake of 8 glasses per day :o)

What would you do if you were a billionaire?

Make sure that my family is set up for the rest of their lives.  Sounds a bit vague I know, but what each individual and family needs/wants to have that happen is going to be different for each member of my family.

I would also donate each year to Diabetes Australia, or maybe set up some sort of research grant?  I’m not sure here, but they would definitely be getting a tonne of cash their way!

Three bad habits

1. I procrastinate
2. I make rash decisions on big things that should have that second or third thought first
3. I eat for the sake of eating.  I love to cook and I love to eat… :o)

Five places you have lived

1. Brisbane (various suburbs though)
2. Townsville
3. Sydney
4. Haven’t got to number 4 or
5. yet!

Five jobs you’ve had

1. Office Manager
2. Commercial Bank Teller
3. Property Manager
4. Night Filler
5. Checkout Chick

How did you name your blog?

When we were blogging on blogger, we were Where the Sites Have No Name, mainly because Marc couldn’t think of a decent name on the spot while creating the account, and it stuck – up until the end of 2004.  We found it really hard to come up with a name for our blog, especially since we knew the content was going to be so varied, but mainly focused around us as a family, so we became Harveys at Home and have been ever since – no matter where that home happens to be.

Ok, so I’m going to tag:

Cath at Johnsen and Johnsen

Sharon at BeelzeBub and Family and

Fantastagirl at The Adventures of Fantastagirl

As always, there’s no pressure to complete the meme, and anyone else who would like to do it, please just add a comment in and I’ll link you to this post.
