Swiped from Paula....
Ten years ago – I was in high school, had just started writing my first novel, and was doing lots of theater and looking for colleges to apply to.
Five years ago – Just finished college and was in the process of being in a friend's wedding, moving house from the 'burbs where I grew up to our farm, and getting ready to start grad school in Washington, DC. Had abandoned the novel and was writing other things.
One year ago – Working for Mackinac State Historic Parks, resenting being underemployed and underpaid with insufficient duties to keep me mentally occupied. Had just finished a first draft of the dramatically reworked novel from the Ten Years Ago entry.
Yesterday – Got up at 5am to drive to Exeter, NH, so I could skate at The Rinks' early bird session. Stupid Dover rinks being closed. Then back to McIntosh, where I got coffee, told the Registrar my class schedule was still wrong, then off to Macro, which might actually be interesting if it weren't for the teacher's need to OD on Prozac before lecture. In the afternoon, advanced garde manger and much project work.
Today – Went for coffee, managed to pay myself, and then home, lunch, and back to advanced GM for a repeat of yesterday.
Now – Desperately avoiding peeking in the oven because every time I do I let heat out and that makes it take longer for the terrine and pate en croute to cook!
Tomorrow – Laundry, fix hole in drywall, try to find paint to match wall around hole in drywall, drop skates at sporting goods shop to be sharpened, grocery shop, Applebee's (they keep giving me $3 off! What's a girl to do?) pick up skates, home, 'net and hopefully more PBeM RP--must remember to send BoD list of plot bunnies we've been kicking around, and write.
