Who? Meme?
I could go on about why I haven't been posting, and about how life is busy, blah blah. But life is always busy and you're busy, and you blog, so what excuse do I really have? Instead I'll do this meme I saw over at Mayarn.
1) What was I doing 10 years ago?
July, 1998. The summer after Sophmore year of college. Instead of going back home to live for the summer I moved into an apartment with my then-boyfriend. The apartment was a third of a house, and there was a lawnmower repair shop in the back. All of our furniture came from our parents and stuff we salvaged around. I must have been working, but I can't remember what job I had. I was 20, and living on my own in an apartment for the first time. Funny story about that apartment is that one day we found a rabbit in our drop-down ceiling. It turned out it escaped from our upstairs neighbor and got stuck in the ceiling. He was fine, and we got him out by offering him a carrot.
2) What are 5 things on my to-do list for today?
1. Take Simon to 15-month check up
2. Type up notes from work meeting
3. Schedule appointment to use spa gift card
4. Knit on never ending afghan
5. Catch up on blogs
3) Snacks I enjoy:
Cheez-its, Chips of any kind, string cheese, popcorn
4) Things I would do if I were a billionaire (in no particular order):
Set up a giant compound for our families to live in, or buy them their own houses. Make sure that Simon never had to go to daycare. Have more babies. Knit, read, garden, travel all the time. Help others in some way.
5) Places I have lived:
All over NJ as far south as Wenonah and as far north as Trenton. Yardley, PA
6) Jobs I have had
Cashier in a hardware store, Victoria's Secret employee, Mall Deli worker, CVS cashier, PA at a tv station, internet producer, producer at exhibit company, project manager, barnes and noble employee (my favorite i think)
Feel free to copy me!

Oh my gosh! The Big Lug posted YAYAYAYAY!
Ten years ago I was WAY too old to go to raves, but I might have. I also lived in a house that had a front door that wouldn't shut. It was permanently ajar and some of the neighborhood kids stole my jar of coins.

I've seen this meme going around lately and I have been toying with the idea of it. The whole 10 years ago thing gets me thinking and it's a little bittersweet. Maybe I'll just think about it but not post it. No one wants to hear me get all weepy. Ha ha.
Can I come along for the spa appointment?!

I can't remember yesterday much less ten years ago. :-) Glad to see you around! I posted for the first time in forever today, too.
