I've been tagged!

I've done a post similar to this awhile back, but I took up Karen's challenge and decided to embark on another Lisa post. Here goes . . .

20 years ago I was:

1) Ready to embark on a daring and dangerous adventure . . . Dixon Middle School (I still have nightmares).
2) Spending my summer with Melinda, Jessica, and Sara -- creating havoc at Movies 8, making our moms drive us everywhere, and walking around the neighborhood discussing boys. We were typical teeny boppers . . . annoying, I'm sure.
3) Sneaking out of the house when I slept over at Sara Saluone's house . . . to go kiss a boy, no less (okay, it was just on the cheek). My most rebellious moment, ever! (I will not name said boy -- but I'm guessing he's not over me because he's still single. I mean, really, has anyone gotten over me?*).

*I need to add a disclaimer -- I was kidding on that one! I'm easily forgotten. :)

10 years ago I was:
1) Road tripping and going to concerts and Jazz games with my cohorts, Rich and Greg. Definitely the most fun, carefree time, ever!
2) Interning at a public relations firm on Park Avenue in NYC -- loved every minute. I seriously considered moving there after graduation.
3) Contemplating, "Do I date this Jeremy guy?"
4) Enjoying the glory days of the Utah Jazz. I was so sad we missed the ultimate prize, but their playoff runs were so fun! I was obsessed.

5 years ago I was:
1) Living in a condo complex with Jeremy in Henderson (we were married, don't worry).
2) Contemplating children and buying a house -- goals that have obviously been fulfilled.
3) Working at AMG with the best bosses. Thanks Keith and Allen!

3 years ago I was:
1) A new mother to Jayce -- visiting the pediatrician every two weeks (at least), preparing for upcoming surgeries, dealing with his club foot, spending time at the ER and hospital -- wondering why my little boy was so sick and doubting my capacity as a mother.
2) Sleep-deprived
3) Sleep-deprived (I had to list it twice -- just to emphasize my emotional and physical fatigue :) ).

1 year ago I was:
1) Juggling two kids and wondering if they'd every like each other and interact (they do now, yay!).
2) Watching Alyssa learn to walk and trying to convince Jayce that primary will be a great thing.
3) Enjoying our Disneyland season passes and going constantly.

So far this year I have:
1) Huh? I should have accomplished something in 2008 already?
2) ?
3) Oh, yeah -- I road tripped with some girlfriends (it was a blast), and I went to Utah for an extended vacation.

Yesterday I:
1) Went to Church, played the organ, and taught primary
2) Devoured salmon that Jeremy cooked on the grill (especially good after fasting)
3) Ate brownies . . . our fun Sunday treat.

Today I:
1) Went to Boot Camp
2) Gave piggyback rides to the kids
2) Unloaded the dishwasher, realizing afterwards that I unloaded dirty dishes, not clean ones.
4) Reloaded the dishwasher with the before-mentioned dishes.

Tomorrow I will:
1) Go to Boot Camp
2) Go swimming in the pool with my new swimming suit! (A Dillard's clearance purchase)
3) Run errands . . . because that's the kind of glamorous life I lead. :)

I tag whomever would like to do this.

That is cute...you do live the glamorous life. I don't barely remember how old I am let alone what I was doing 20 years ago...great memory!

Alicia said...

I agree...holy cow, what a memory! I'm afraid I couldn't even attempt such a blog entry due to the insane amount of brain power it would take to generate it! I have to conserve what I can ;) Your blogs are always so well written...OK--But, where was I when all this good, girl fun was going on? I was hanging out with all those dumb, ridiculous boys down in my end of the neighborhood and believe me, ridiculous is a kind word ;)

Easily forgotten?? Not likely. :)

Alicia said...

Oh, and I think I know who mystery kissing boy is... ;) How funny is that? Is he really still single?

Pike's Place said...

Yes, he really is available. I probably shouldn't have written about it . . . it really wasn't a big deal. :>)

Jessica said...

I agree with Holli here! I was going to attempt to take your challenge, but I couldn't remember what I was specifically doing in 1998... eek... maybe if I found an old journal of mine...

Alicia said...

OH... those are the memories that make memories...and build character, too! We're all adults, we can handle it ;)
