This is fascinating. How quickly life changes. And I cannot believe that you were only 19 in 1998. I'm so old...
that was interesting. It made me want to do it too. If it makes you feel better Skyler is leaving work (on a good day) when you are getting up. Then he gets up at 9:00 and goes to work again. I really want to do that now!!
Those were the days...seriously. Lots of sleeping in...whatever that is.
Mary,
Sorry, your blog was bookmarked on our computer that had TROUBLE! Anyway, it was so fun to catch up. Your boys are just so adorable and I LOVE your new haircut. It was fun to hear your memories and think that just shy of 10 years ago, we were roommates, crazy how the time flies, isn't it? What was the name of the shoe store JB owned? That is VERY cool!
JB owned "Sports Shoes Etc" by the Jamba Juice, Great Harvest and that one burger place that offered charbroiled burgers. Last time I was there, the store was now "I Do Weddings."
