Okay okay...since I saw this thingie on Ima's page, I thought I would fill out as well...so if there is TMI, then blame her, not me :P
20 Years Ago:
1987: I was in the sixth grade. I moved to Sonora in the middle of my sixth grade year from Giddings. Spent the remaining of the school year getting picked on by my classmates and getting into fights. Had not learned the art of fighting with words instead of fists yet. We lived in a big house on an angora goat ranch that my parents rented. It was a beautiful home full of beautiful antiques that had been in the landlord's family since the late 1800's. To show their appreciation of such rare and wonderous items, they stored them in lower bedroom and they never saw the light of day...neglected beauty. My favorite dog in the whole world (at the time at least), a delightful handful named "Easy" passed away from uterine cancer. She was the last bassett hound I have ever had. Geez..'87 was depressing year for me.
15 Years Ago:
1992: I was a sophomore in high school. I moved to Tomball in the middle of that year from Sonora. Went from being highly involved and active in the drama and band to doing nothing. Tomball High was (and still is!) a huge high school, very easy to get lost in the shuffle with soooo many kids. The highlights of that year included going to my first ever rock concert (U2 Zooropa baby!!!), having the pleasure of being taught by an amazing World History teacher by the name of Mrs. Roach and getting my driver's license. I also worked at McDonald's after I turned 16. Taught me an important lesson that I didn't want to work in the food service industry. Finally learned the art of fighting with words instead of fists.
10 Years Ago:
1997: I was attending TAMU and living with a super anal roomie on campus. Studying English and struggling with French, that year flew by and is all but a blur to me today. In the summer of '97 moved into an apartment with a chica who would eventually become my closest and bestest friend in the world...Marci. Continued developing the art of fighting with words instead of fists to a higher level.
5 Years Ago:
2002: Had worked for three years at the CMW in Perry Oklahoma as a technical writer. Left in September of that to move back in with the folks. Became a marketing writer/desktop publisher for my mom's real estate business. Did that for two years before applying and accepting a position with IODP as a yeoperson. This job literally changed my life...seriously. Met Ima and TinHut at IODP.
Yesterday:
Drove home from Tulsa after attending a Star Trek convention and getting to see Neelix, the Doctor and Captain Kathyrn Janeway in person (or the actors that played them at least). I had a spectacular time listening to them speak. Marci's husband Jeremy was with me for the ride there and back since his family lives in Tulsa. We played Santa Claus and delivered a truckload of baby stuff since his sister is expecting her first baby any day now.
Today:
Slept in late. Went to gym and did cardio. Had lunch with my mom. Will pick my doggies up from the vet later this afternoon. I boarded them there while I was gone. The ladies that work at the vet's love my doggies and my doggies love them. It's a good thing. :) Will clean house this afternoon before going to get dogs.
Tomorrow:
Who knows? Will work out at gym in the morning with Cory. He will make me hurt. It is a good thing right?
5 Years From Now:
2012: Having sex somewhere exotic. Want to be in a relationship with a member of the opposite sex that is rewarding and fulfilling. Want to be having regular sexual relations with said member of opposite sex. Want to continue to grow in my career. Having sex somewhere not so exotic. Want to be healthy, happy and successful to make the "in" crowd jealous at my 20 year high school reunion. Want to have seen more of the world. Oh..did I mention that I just want to have had sex by then? If not, well then yeah. That too. :P
