I was tagged by

I was tagged by Chantal at Bread Crumbs in the Butter and dammit, i hate chain mail which is all it really is, but i'm too superstitious or too much of a keener not to do it. I got tagged!

Ten Years Ago:

Shane and I were living in a huge 2 bedroom apartment in Victoria, it was actually the main floor of a character house - i still miss it. We were young and happy. Just us and our dog, Pesto. I was working at an alternative newspaper and running a small record label. Shane was starting his graphic design business and playing in a locally popular band, Gallery 6. We went out to see bands pretty much every night. It was awesome and i still miss it, sometimes.

Five Years Ago:

We had just purchased our first home, a duplex in Victoria - we didn't stay long. We bought a fixer upper a year later and made our fortune (ha!) off that. Tristan was three and Toby was one. What i really remember is how happy i was. I had great friends whom i had a daily playdate with at the local park every weekday, Tristan and Toby happily rode around in the bicycle trailer for hours on end and i was in great shape. About 2 weeks later i found out i was pregnant with Eliza.

One Year Ago:

Four kids and a new house in the country. A new school for Tristan, her fourth, and Toby's first year in kindergarten. I was very lonely last september. The first few months in the country were very tough. I've never felt so isolated and alone. But then we found our school and the community involved with it and everything changed.

Yesterday:

Hmmm. I shaved off an ungodly amount of pubic hair and have been paying the price back in golden itchiness ever since.

I also took Toby to a four hour birthday party (insane parents) and then went shopping at Old Navy. I'm sorry, but i love Old Navy. I can buy three pairs of cords for $100 and wear them all winter, then toss them out. Plus! They come in short. Hello size 8 short. You fit me perfect - no sewing - I don't sew. Then i went to see The Forty Year Old Virgin. I left after 40 minutes because my popcorn was gone and the movie wasn't nearly good enough to waste anymore of my precious four hours on. It was funny though and i laughed so hard i cried during the waxing scene - i think probably out of sympathy. Plus, there was two guys sitting right behind me laughing obnoxiously loud and kicking the seat PLUS THERE WAS ONLY THREE OF US IN THE ENTIRE THEATRE. But somehow sitting right behind me was the best spot they could find.

Then i picked up Toby from the party, drove home, made lasagna, cleaned up the kitchen, fed the dogs, folded laundry, fed the chickens, bathed the kids, did the homereading from school, put the kids to bed, nursed Parker 75 times, watched Desperate Housewives, West Wing (walked the dogs) and Greys Anatomy, read a few blogs, did "it", put the chickens to bed, nursed Parker 75 more times, went to bed.

I really can't answer this because i know the words to pretty much every song i've ever heard more than once, i'm funny that way. Anyway, the 3hive podcast has lots of songs that i think are pretty cool.
