What were you doing 10 years ago?
Ten years ago, I was on Christmas break from my graduate school program. My beer swilling-chain smoking boyfriend had just dumped me (well-educated, funny, not smelly) for a 19 year old hostess from the restaurant they both worked at. Hausfrau fielded many a midnight phone call with me sobbing, "But I luurrrved him!"

In other news, my roommates and I had just bid a fond adieu to another roommate, who was leaving school "to rest," after we found a her suicide note and rushed her to the psych ward.

What were you doing one year ago?
Recovering from a c-section and taking turns getting up every 45 minutes with my newborn twins. The nights were awful, but we had a system for the day. My mom and I would each take a baby, my husband would take care of my then 2 1/2 year-old, and my dad was the runner for all of us. We'd mix it up sometimes, but essentially, that's what worked. Until my parents had to go home, of course. Okay, Mom stayed for 4 months, but STILL!!!!
