I've Been Tagged!

I've been tagged by Donna, and since I think these things are kind of fun (maybe it's because of my unnatural love of lists), here goes:

Tales of An Expat

What were you doing 10 years ago?
Wow. I had just finished up my third year of college, and was in summer school trying to make up for the fact that I had changed my major four times in three years. I figured if I had any chance of finishing college before Chris Farley did in Tommy Boy, I'd better hit the books during the summer. I lived in Tiny Texas Town, USA and has just gotten married to my now ex-husband. We were so busy in school and pretending to be adults that we never realized that we actually had no business being married to each other. We lived in a 900 square foot house that, looking back on it, was ridiculously cheap. Although window unit air conditioners during a Texas summer are a real bitch. I drank plenty of Keystone Light, ate tons of fast food, and was still at least 15 lighter than I am now. Frickin metabolism.

**Like Donna, this is really just a sampling, because I know all the lyrics to most of the songs on my iPod. M and I will be singing, and he'll look at me and say "How do you know that?" I don't know. He retains the knowledge of how to perform calculus equations, and I retain song lyrics. Mine is a far more useful gift, I think.**
