I've been tagged by Kaliko, so here it goes:
5 years ago:
September 2000, the twins were 10, #3 was 6 and I was 24 for yet another year. I was still working full time and active in Cub Scouts (as co-leader of the den) with the twins and Tiger Scouts with #3 (as the den leader). My mom had been in a very serious car accident in August that year and was still hospitalized. I split my time between work, visiting her, home and scouting activities. Hubby had just finished his Officer training and received his commission. Most importantly to my kids, this is when we started reading the Harry Potter series together. I would read to the kids in the evenings while they drew pictures. #1 and #2 would occasionally take a chapter to read aloud when my voice needed a break.

Set up college funds for my boys, nieces and nephews
Pull my kids out of public schools and have them educated by private tutors
Create a music based non-profit youth organization in my community (probably but not necessarily a drum corps)
Buy a good chunk of property to build my dream house on, including a barn and several different types of animals
5 Places I'd Run Away To:
Any of the Disney resorts
A tropical island in the Caribbean (but only if it wasn't hurricane season)
Alaska (preferrably when the salmon are running, but other times of the year are OK too)
The beach
The mountains
5 Things I'd Never Wear:
(This is hard, there isn't much I wouldn't wear)
Heels
Scuba gear
Bikini
Low ride pants
Just about any clothing items from the 60's and early 70's

Kind of hard to limit oneself to 5 items, isn't it.
I started one of these to 5 of my non-DD friends. Interesting how many of the same wishes for the $100 mil.
Shalom - From:Welshamethyst (Legacy)On:Wed Sep 21 2005Crud. I was going to tag you and someone beat me to it *sigh*. Storey of my life, always a day late and a dollar short!
