Totally Cheating

It has been such a long time, and there is so much to tell... and yet I am going to cheat by doing a meme. I haven't been tagged (because honestly I don't think there is anyone out there reading these words), but what the heck. I just want to keep this blog active, and my New Year's resolution is to write at least once a week in 2010, and hopefully more. I love reading other "Mommy" blogs, even though I hate that label, and I would love to add to them, and possibly be a source of entertainment and solace for some other first-timer out there. Anyway. On to the meme!

What were you doing 10 years ago?

Ten years ago, I was 21 years old. I think that should probably answer that question! I was in college at SUNY Albany and at this time of year, I had just started dating someone who would turn out to be a huge mistake, but who did get me on the path to meeting my now-husband (who I met while celebrating the demise of my relationship with the Mistake!), so there you go.
