The Me Meme

Good. I am tired and headachy tonite. Easy peasy post. Thanks CLC.


1. What were you doing 10 years ago?

Hm. 1998. Oh yes. I was graduating college and looking forward to the move to grad school with my boyfriend. He broke up with me a few days after graduation (JERK) and so we both moved to FL, separately. I met Triple S the first day of classes, and I wanted to be "friends" since I was just out of a long relationship and I wanted to have some FUN! Ha.

2. What 5 things are on your to-do list for today?
Since it is 10 PM, today's list is finish blogging and go to bed. Maybe take some advi! on the way. For tomorrow, wake up, make it through the day of work (only 4 more to go!). Anything else is gravy.

3. List some snacks you enjoy.
