Time flies ...

My friend Teresa tagged me, so here I am, reminiscing.

10 years ago...I was interning in U.S. Senator Byron Dorgan's office in Fargo, N.D. Loved my job, loved my apartment, had great friends, HATED Fargo. What a crappy little town.
5 years ago....I was at home full time with a 1 year old and a 3 year old, and we had an exchange student from Italy who was driving me crazy. Nice girl, but a complete slave to the television. We had issues because I felt like her entire experience of American culture was through the TV instead of real life. What a waste.
1 year ago... I was preparing for our move from Minnesota to California, cleaning out 7 years worth of accumulated stuff in our house and organizing EVERYTHING. What did my husband do? Bless his heart, I'm still not sure....
Yesterday...Went to Santa Cruz for the Woodies on the Wharf car show. Came back to San Jose and took the kids to play in the sprinklers at Jake's Play Lot.
Today...I am going to scrapbook for a while, provided inspiration strikes. I'll hang out with all my guys and maybe go for a bike ride.
Tomorrow...I'll mail out a few things that I sold this week on eBay and work on my kids' Detective Academy course with them.

Peanut M&Ms
Salt & Vinegar Potato Chips
