yesterday.today.tomorrow

it's Friday... one of those days where I don't feel like doing a lot of writing so I decided to do this

Ten years ago: 1995... This was one of the craziest summers in my life. I was 14, my dad had just died in April... from July-August I was a Student.Ambassador living abroad in England Ireland Scotland and Wales... the end of August I was the maid.of.honor (yes @ 14) in my sisters wedding and upon my arrival home from London had to get my dress remade in 2 weeks because I lost so much weight and then September I started high school.

Five years ago: 2000... I had just finished my freshman year at Pace. My mom got me a 2000 sentra for my 19th birthday. I was working as a music and arts counselor @ camp rich kids (that's what we called it) and doing my side hustle of babysitting them on the weekend for $20 an hour. I was in "love" and in a long distant relationship and spending all my cash on my phone bill.

One year ago: 2004... Was a great year... I graduated with my Masters of Science in PR from Syra.cuse. I had a great internship at the Smith.sonian during the summer that turned into a job for a while. I went to Vegas and then chilled for a few months being jobless and working on campaign stuff.

Yesterday: Was a really long day. I worked late and then went and hung out at my friends house last night. I also had an epiphany that I'm really too hard on myself. There are people that love me and are "in love" with me but I'm so worried about striving for perfection that I sometimes lose sight of that.

Today: Has been a long day. I got home really late last night so I'm tired. It's my turn to plan the girls weekend so we are going out to dinner and then to strike perhaps.

Tomorrow: My baby is turning nine. I see so much of me in her and she's not even my child. But she does have part of her aunties name :) I pray so much success for her (and her brothers) and it's scary how much I love them. I get to chaperone at her fabulous party to which 25 kids have now responded (again pray for me). Tomorrow night me and the chica's are heading to the inner harbour more then likely and are going to power.plant for dinner at babalu
