Annie Got Me!

Because this is my "stealth" blog, I'm not tagging anyone, but Annie tagged me, so here goes.

What were you doing 10 years ago?
Hmmm, August 1997. I was 32. My (now ex) husband and I were living in Maryland and had recently bought our first house. I was working, ironically for a precursor of the company I'm working for now, I hadn't had a cigarette in 9 years. Basically I thought things were going OK. I was very, very wrong.

What were you doing 1 year ago?
August 2006. Interesting, just looked back at my blog archives, and it looks like August, 2006, was busy for me. I went to see B. B. King in concert, went to a Mariner's game, dropped my kids at the airport and picked them back up 2 weeks later (they went to Maryland to visit their father), and at the end of the month I got a speeding ticket. It was an action-packed month.

4. Occasionally 94% fat-free microwave popcorn.
