Duck, Duck, Goose. Now it's my turn under the microscope, thanks to my buddy, Cowtown Patty! (Wasn't Ten Years After a band in our youth?)
10 Years Ago: (1995)
I was married with teenagers, Sean was a sophomore and Trent was in eighth grade. Trent played every sport that year. I was teaching at the alternative school, teaching night school, and talking classes to get my administrative license. My mother was ill, but still with us. Daddy was doing great.
5 Years Ago: (2000) My divorce year, the crazy year of learning to adjust and think of myself as one person.
1 Year Ago:Why is it harder to remember last year than 10 years ago? Last year I started to take my writing seriously and I bought a new refrigerator (icebox).
Yesterday: Mixer at the Country Club for my 35th Reunion. Now I can’t decide whether or not to go to the big event. Decided – Didn’t.

Klausen Pickles, Rosemary Triskets, garden tomatoes, Raspberry Coconut Ho Hos, Pickled Okra.

5 Things I’d Do with 100 Million Dollars:
Restore an old Victorian house, Buy a small ranch in Colorado, Set my kids up in the business of their choice, and build a house in the mountains with a writing studio, library and wrap around porch, Escape.
5 Places I’d Run Away To:
Somewhere in Colorado, Wyoming or Montana; somewhere around Austin or Kerrville; or near Mountain Home, Arkansas; maybe Italy, but if I tell you, then I have to………..!

Thanks, for picking up the thread, Kate!
Now, see that wasn't bad!
And yes, Ten Years After was a band...
payday loan - you already know what I think! - Payday loan sharks are right down there with muggers. Usury is unethical. It is a sign of how low economic profiteers can stoop hiding behind anonymous web sites and second tier corporations with greed driven profits gleemed from the elderly and the poor.
First, I have to say I really enjoy your blog. I should have de-lurked a while back.
While I am in agreement with you on the ideological/ethical issues (usury is indeed unethical)I simply must disagree on the shoes and matching handbag thing ;)
The look only goes bad if you carry it to the extreme of gloves and matching hat as well (think Queen Elizabeth).
Zaaven Hope - I could not find anything in Google for that one.
