Emotional Taggage
What was I doing 10 years ago?
1995 – August I was 19 years old. Almost 20. Thin, in great shape (or so I thought). I was on the last family vacation we’d ever take as a family (before the divorce). It was our first and last family trek to Walt Disney World. We had the time of our lives. Little did I know that I had cancer growing inside my chest. You can see the lump in my neck in our group picture outside of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Sad/
What was I doing 5 years ago?
August, 2000 – I was about to turn 25. I was living at home with my Mom in Brusly. I was working at some godawful job – who knows. I was dating the ex.
What was I doing 1 year ago?
Well – why not have a look-see here? Okay – so it’s the 25th of August – close enough.
What was I doing yesterday?
Yesterday we skipped church like the naughty kids that we are. He somehow convinced me to go to Hooter’s for lunch (of all places) but I did enjoy the hotdog. Then Target – then a child’s birthday party – which was cool – at home for a nap, tv, leftover pizza, etc. Pretty dull day, overall.
What am I doing today?
I have done so little “work” work it’s pathetic. I’ve been updating and adding to my baby registries at Target and Babies R’ Us. I’m baaaaaaaaad.
