WHAT WAS I DOING 10 YEARS AGO? 10 YEARS AGO, I WAS 39 ABOUT TO TURN THE BIG 40, SO...MY YOUNGEST WAS 4 AND WAS GOING TO BE IN KINDERGARTEN IN THE FALL, SO...NOW, BACK 10 YEARS AGO, "THE LITTLE MERMAID" WAS A BIG TIME MOVIE AROUND HERE, SO TOOK ALL THREE OF MY KIDS TO BUY MY YOUNGEST A SALT-WATER FISH, LIKE "FLOUNDER" IN THE MOVIE, (THIS IS A TRUE STORY), WELL, I NEVER BOUGHT THE FISH, BUT I DID BUY A 3 MONTH OLD BLACK LAB/MIX PUPPY. ONCE WE SAW THE PUPPIES, THE IDEA OF PURCHASING A FISH KINDA FLEW OUT THE WINDOW. THAT WAS THE BEGINNING OF THE BEST 10 YEARS WITH MY BUDDY, "OREO"! I WAS ALSO QUILTING AND CROSS-STITCHING AND BUSY WITH A SON WHO PLAYED HOCKEY AND OLDEST DAUGHTER JUST MADE THE CHEERLEADING TEAM IN JUNIOR HIGH. SO MY MAIN JOB BACK THEN WAS THAT OF A TAXI.

Hi Mary, I think I will respond directly to you instead of posting. Mainly because where I was 10 years ago was so sad!
ReplyDelete10 years ago my husband and I were separated, and I was so miserable. I was living in a teensy house, but at least I was near my parents. My mother was still alive, and was a great comfort to me. Thankfully, my husband and I got back together, moved to a bigger house and are very happy.
My plans for today include having a manicure, going to my book club, take Ozzie for a walk, make manicotti for dinner, and sewing on my two color quilt blocks.
My favorite snacks are Cheezits! Anything salty is what I crave!
If I were a billionaire, I would pay off all the bills too, buy an even bigger house in Carmel Valley, and share the rest with my children and other family members.
Thanks, Mary! This was fun. I posted my answers on my blog.
