Now, on to the questions!
What were you doing 10 years ago?
I really believe its fate I’ve been tagged and asked this question right now. Exactly 10 years ago, nearly to the day, I was at the end of a horrible, abusive, destructive and evil relationship. I was making my way back from the West Coast to Michigan after a road trip that involved a gun and a baby that was never to be. After the dust settled I moved to Florida. I met my husband, and my real life began.
What were you doing one year ago (I forgot this one earlier, but here it is now)
I had just turned the big 3-0, which the Kaiser commemorated with some bling that was engraved with “29”–because I’m 29 forever! I was pregnant with Princess Peanut, getting ready for Christmas in Florida and here.

We went from THAT to snacks? Ok.
Snackwell’s Fat Free Devil’s Food cake cookies

Woah! I never expected the whiplash between the first question and the snacks, but wow! I am so glad that you began your life fresh. And the rest of your answers just cracked me up. TiVo, how could I forget thee?…

hehe….methinks Horace is in marketing.
I saw you tagged me….i just got home from viewing a horrible debaucle of an elementary school xmas play….than i drowned mt sorrows, and repaired my eardrums w/ some alcohol. (which i will blog about at a later date)
As it stands, i have a screaming baby in my lap, and he’s facinated w/ the keyboard (blogger in the making), so i’ll do your meme later, possibly tonight.
Ooooh, you mentioned Michigan in the answer to your first question … I am also a former Michigander … whereabouts did you live?
Sorry about the bad relationship– you’ll see something similar in my response. Glad you got out of it and are now happy. 🙂 Are you from Canada? I assume so, my best friends are as well.
I’ll be workin’ on this. I got hard news yesterday so this will actually take my mind off of it.
Cheers girlie.
