10 Years Ago Today
I was living in Dallas Texas, working for Ernst & Young's marketing department. Hating working in the corporate structure. And wishing i had a job i could make my own hours. Spent a lot of time lamenting through alcohol, the loss of my ex. Driving a really bad car.
5 Years Ago
I was selling men's suits at Foleys, Northpark in Dallas. I was doing really well, work wise, but hated retail. Living with my man at the time, who was sporatically working. Partying too much. Deciding that i didn't like my man too much.
1 Year Ago
I am a mother of a one year old boy, rebuilding my career as a graphics designer. Wondering how i am ever going to make it as a single mother, but fascinated by the progress of the little man, and his mind. Making plans of where we would be in the next five years.
Yesterday
I went to an old neighbors house for dinner. These people had 3 kids that i babysat. Only one of them was there, with three of her 5 kids. All grown up. I can still see her little face all smart and smiling. Beautiful. We swam in the pool, went out on the lake for a boat ride, ate dinner, lit sparklers. And our parents reminisced about all the stupid things they did together. And promised to go out again soon.
Tomorrow
I am at my job, my boss is gone all week, so i am SLACKIN SUPREMO! Poetry, blogs, freelance projects...Yea!

Nobody ever tags me, so I do it myself.
Tag, that is. Not that dirty stuff you were thinking.
Gurl are you nuts? Its a similar shithole as NYC, its just another metropolis albeit in a 'far away land called 'yerip'' like you guys say! There's nothing special about it at all apart from the whole history thing I guess. Once you've seen one western city you've pretty much seen 'em all!
Anyhoo interesting stuff you got listed here, I must confess I haven't checked your blog lately. I'm trying to keep the number of people who's blogs I check to a minimum cos' otherwise I could be here all day!
ciao!
Love you!
