Silly Meme Stuff

I just realized that I have been “tagged” so here goes:

What were you doing 10 years ago?

I was still living in my cute little apartment in the middle of the boonies and being a single mommy to one, though I had started working for he interior design firm and was phasing out the restaurant world. I was in legal limbo waiting out both my divorce from P, and my mother’s estate to settle. And I was happy and madly in love with David, the perfect man who announced he was Gay the week after we got engaged. Big flaw in perfection.

What were you doing 1 year ago?

Struggling terribly. I had just stopped working for the mad man in Westchester..and went BACK to the restaurant industry because ANYTHING was better than the mad man in Westchester.

Five things I like doing:

1. Gardening
2. Being silly with my kids
3. Laying around Tues and Weds with Rye on his day off watching ER repeats

1. ugg I HATE the new sparkly pocketbooks WHY????
2. a puffy down jacket
3. yellow gold anything
4. a white shirt that I think will stay white

Five favorite toys:
