10 years ago I...
- ...published a family history newsletter for relatives on my dad's side. There were 22 issues in all, published from 1997-2004 and mailed to about 75 families. Two or three more issues would complete my original vision for the series, but for several reasons my process was interrupted. I don't rule out the possibility of finishing, but don't hold your breath.
- ...watched 191 movies. I can tell you which ones, if you'd like. Ask me how I know. Never mind, I'll tell you. I...
- ...kept a planner throughout 1998 in which I noted every iota of minutiae pertaining to my daily life. Wanna know who-all I dated that year?
- ...turned 50, and lost a friend to cancer.
- blog post (should this meme count? so many topics, so little time...)
- toss ten things
- clear off the coffee table (psssh... commit to that publicly? what are the odds I'll actually do it?)
- pack at least one box (I'm covered on this one, I'm almost done with a big container of linens... yeah, okay, what I really meant was one box of books, but...)
- start collecting all boxes of photos & family memorabilia into large blue Rubbermaid tub (Genea-Bloggers Treasure Hunt?... unh... commitmentphobic!)
- Flamin' Hot Cheetos followed by mint chocolate chip ice cream
- a big fresh crisp raw potato, sliced, briefly soaked in cold water, salted as you go
- homemade applesauce spread like jam on buttered mixed-grain toast
- candy (Smarties, Skittles, caramels, fruit chews, and of course chocolate)
- Funyuns with Wasabi (were these a temporary thing? I haven't seen them in quite awhile)
- metropolitan Detroit area, Michigan
- Salt Lake City (a short walk from the library!)
- suburban Portland, Oregon
- Eugene, Oregon
- not Canada, Mexico or Hawaii, although I've slept more than a few nights in each of them
- postal clerk
- letter carrier

T.K., you always have such wonderful blog posts. Just wanted to let you know you have a great blog and I enjoy reading all your stories! Julie
Thanks, Julie!
I did the meme too, even though I usually don't do them. ;) You inspired me.
Yep, I saw that gut-spillage over there on your blog, Carol, and I had to laugh when I got to the part about reducing the pile of magazines. That was doomed from the git-go, wasn't it? Thanks for playing!
