Lifetime Meme (blame Brad)

Judy July-13-2005

10 years ago: I was doing a play at a tiny tiny theater that involved wearing an ugly ugly dress, was in the scary fanatical phase of becoming a “Born-Again Christian” but still getting drunk way too often, and preparing for my first missions trip, to build houses with Habitat for Humanity.
5 years ago: Was living in an amazing apartment, working in a job I loved, spent most of my time at church or with friends from church, was just getting back into the SCA after a long break, and was getting ready to buy my first non-junker car.
1 year ago: Was living in a house with a juvenile delinquent who had just been taken back to jail complete with a “COPS”-worthy 911 call and pepper-spraying, was about to break the heart of the man I loved by telling him that I had been lying to him, was very much looking forward to meeting Brad and Jen when they came to california, and to flying to Austin to meet Caryn.
Last Week: (I added this one to make my “Yesterday” make sense) I decided to join OA, and went to my first meeting up in San Francisco.
Yesterday: I worked all day, managed to stay in control of my eating, and went to an OA meeting.
Today: Working again, and have a Westermark meeting tonight.
Tomorrow: Either hanging out with Lolly or going to an OA meeting, and finishing up the difficult post I am working on.

  1. Tara Said,

    Ah crap.
    I was looking at this thinking “Hey, this looks like fun— oh. I’ve been tagged.” That is, I look forward to it, but as soon as I saw my name I froze and couldn’t remember what I wanted to write.
    I’m gonna go out and when I come back I should have something. Yep.
    Congrats on OA. I’ve been thinking about doing something like that myself.

  2. Erin Said,

    Working on this… it’s gonna take me awhile! LOL! Thanks for tagging me though! ;)
