Where was I 10 years ago?
I was 21 years old and just about to graduate from college. I was pretty unsure about the future: I had no idea what I would do after graduation (no job lined up, not sure where to live as my parents were out of state, yet the boyfriend, Michael, was back home). I also had a nagging fear that I would be one credit short and unable to graduate.
5 things on my "to-do" list...
- Become more like Jesus and follow more fervently after him
- Get cracking and more serious with my marathon training
- Enjoy life more
- Keep the house cleaner
- Get to bed at a better hour so I am not tired ALL of the time
Snacks I enjoy
- granola bars
- yogurt
- dried fruit
- chocolate
- a cup of coffee, heavy on the sugar and cream
- teddy grahams or goldfish crackers (stolen from the kids;-)
- fresh baked goods
- Pay off debt.
- Give generously to the church and other charitable organizations.
- Buy a minivan for me so we can all fit easier and an Evolution for Michael so he's not working on his dumb car all the time.
- Pay for my family and Michael's to move out here. We miss them so!
- Travel around the world (Italy, cruise to some exotic islands, maybe even live in different places for a while just to try them out).
- Craig's List
- Anger
- Pride
- Talking at inappropriate times or too much
- Saying idiotic things (mostly being accidentally rude, foot in mouth type stuff)
Places I've lived...
- Chicago, IL
- Casselberry, FL
- Orlando, FL
- Tallahassee, FL
- Roseville, CA
- Fifi's Poodle Palace-I washed dogs, painted their toenails, put bows in their hair and perfumed them, too. Seriously! First job.
- Retail (County Seat, Circuit City, Petite Sophisticate)
- Food (Angel's Diner, Barnies Coffee)
- Cumulus Broadcasting-My college internship. I was the promotions assistant. The job rocked!! I got to do parades and other events, live broadcasts, even helped out with a morning show once.
- American Real Estate and Financial Services-Marketing Assistant. First job out of college. I was told that I was so good at making copies! That made me proud;-).
- Laser Institute of America-Marketing Coordinator. Got to travel around the country to do various trade shows and conferences.
- Campus Crusade for Christ-Marketing Manager and eventually Event Planning Manager which I loved!! Great place to work.

Hehe, I remember when you worked at Fifi's Poodle Palace...actually I remember when you worked at all those places. The job of SAHM is so much more rewarding though, isn't it!
I remember those jobs also. It was always so funny how you described your day at Fifi's.
I still have a green shirt you bought me from County Seat. I guess it is getting a little dated, but it is so comfy. My kids always ask me when they see the label, "Where is County Seat?" Unfortunately I have to tell them that they went out of business ten years ago. Then of course their next response is "OMG, that shirt is OLD!" All this time I was thinking 32 was young.
How is your new job, didn't you start it on Friday?
