Got this from my buddy Claudia:
20 Years ago I...
-had just spent the traditional two weeks at the Hilyard with my family
-was looking forward to the start of 5th grade in Mr. Westlake's class
-still had a crush on Tony Arnabat
-met my best friend Marilyn
-loved going to Riverboat Playhouse (the "Chuck E Cheese" from back in the day...)
10 years ago I...
-was working full time and going to MDC part time.
-wasn't sure *exactly* what I wanted to study, but was on my way there anyway.
-was hanging out with friends from my brother's Tae Kwon Do school and going rollerskating every Friday.
-was thinking about moving out on my own, but was too chicken to do so.
5 years ago I...
-was broken up with Eric.
-went to Cancun for my big sister's bachelorette party/Memorial Day weekend.
-walked my sister's wedding.
-went on a cruise with my family to Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands, and had a fantabulous time!
-was still living on my own in my great little apartment in Coral Gables.
3 years ago I...
-was enjoying my first summer with my little boy, and trying to get used to being back at work after maternity leave.
-had been married to Eric for a year.
-met my beautiful nephew Mikey, who was born on August 11, exactly 7 months after his cousin.
-had bittersweet feelings about going back to school in the fall, but I had finally started UM. I'd dreamed of going there since I was a little girl, and so I had to make that dream a reality.
One year ago...
-we went to NJ, for my cousin's wedding.
-we was in NY, enjoying the sights.
-we went on a trip for the first time without Brandon.
-we were living in our very first owned home.
Yesterday I...
-dropped off Brandon at pre-school.
-went to work.
-went to Wendy's for lunch.
-left work.
-drove home.
-I picked Eric and Brandon up at home and we went to Boston Market for dinner.
-then did some groceries.
-got home, took a shower, and went to bed.
Today I...
-dropped off Brandon.
-went to work.
-left work.
-picked up Brandon.
-got home.
-made dinner.
-am sitting at the computer typing this as I eat dinner.
-will go shower, watch Sex and the City reruns and Rescue Me, then go to sleep.
In the next year I will...
-celebrate my son's 4th birthday.
-give birth to my second child.
-graduate from the University of Miami.
-enjoy my maternity leave as much as I can.
(Sorry for not posting pics with some of the entries. I'm too tired to rummage through my photos, scan and upload them. Maybe next time...)
Loved reading even without pictures. I may have to do this one too.
Posted by: Tink at August 22, 2006 9:05 PMI plan to do this at my place, but have been too focussed on other things to be able to spend much time doing anything more than ranting over there.
Perhaps tomorrow, when I'm sitting at the airport hours before my flight. Does the airport have free wi-fi? They didn't last time I flew, but that was a year ago. I hope they have added it. Especially if they expect me to get there 3 hours before my flight without a bottle of water!
