More About Me....
I was tagged by Mary a loooong time ago (as in September 12th) to complete this and in keeping with a life-long addiction with procrastination, well, I’m finally doing it.
What were you doing 10 years ago?
Ten years ago I was still a kid. Well, not really a kid, I was 24. But I certainly wasn’t an adult. I was single, working as a waitress at a place called R.J. Gator’s in Boynton Beach, FL. I was in between colleges. I had my AA but wasn’t quite motivated enough to finish my BA yet.
Ten years ago I hadn’t met a certain guy that would probably single-handedly screw up my life for many years to come. That didn’t happen for about 5 more months.
Ten years ago I was living with my sister who promptly, and justifiably, kicked me out. This may have had something to do with the fact that I never paid my bills or cleaned up after myself.
Ten years ago I was just 3 days shy of getting a tattoo that I thought was cool, cried about, and then thought was cool again.
Ten years ago I had a very unrealistic idea of where I would be in ten years.
Where were you five years ago?
Five years ago I was still a newlywed.
Five years ago I had completed my BA. I used it for a couple years, realized it wasn’t making me any money and changed careers. I ended up working in the operations office for a Navy flight training squadron. This is the place where all the young “dreaming of being a hero” student pilots go to learn the art of Naval Aviation.
Five years ago I was only 5 days shy of turning 30.
Five years ago I wanted nothing more than to be a mother.
Where were you one year ago?
One year ago at this time I was still on an extended maternity leave with my second son.
One year ago I had just completed my Master’s degree (which I’m still not using, by the way).
One year ago I had no idea how fast a year can go by and how much more I could grow to love my children.

1. Pay off all my family’s bills
2. Open a business
3. Start a gifting foundation – people in the community could apply for gifts/loans

5. Travel

2. I have just realized that I don’t have anything that I would classify as a toy….I need to go shopping.
3., 4., and 5. TBD

1. Yoda
2. PreppyGirl
3. Princess
4. Mopey Chick
5. Shari

Is that how you spell Culottes? I always thought it was like, "Koolats" or something. Guess I never had to spell it before acutally!
I love your list. On to my own...
I accept the tag. I'm in need of a diversion right now anyway.
And here I was looking for inspiration this evening.
I rise to your challenge, O Sherri.
