something different and a little fun today:

1. Where were you ten years ago?

i was 16 years old, a junior in high school. so much happened to me that year. in feburary i would have been in the middle of forensics season, competing in broadcasting competitions every weekend. i was madly infatuated with a boy i never dreamed would show interest in me. it helped my confidence which had previously been shattered by unfortunate events. my hair was starting to grow back from shaving it all off. i guess this morphed from a "where" answer...well, when i wasn't at school, i was probably in my basement bedroom, tons of candles lit, cutting and pasting together zines and watching R rated movies i rented from family video and hid under the seat of my car to sneak into the house (Pulp Fiction, The Virgin Suicides, etc) or listening to bright eyes and juliana theory on my boom box. 

2. What is on today's To Do List?

not much! we are at home all day today. yesterday we were out all day so today i have laundry to finish, dishes to do, and general house things to accomplish. 

3. What would you do if you were a billionaire?

pay off all our debt, make all the home improvements we need to make (hiring people to do ALL of it), buy all the furniture and decor i wanted, donate lots of it, set up funds for my children, buy a van or maybe a school bus to renovate (!!), go on VACATION.

1. Long Island, NY

2. Connecticut 

3. Illinois

4. Kent City, MI

5. Marquette, MI
