U asked for it ....

Okay…..since the month is ending ……I gueeeeesss I’ll get this thing done.

Crazy, sexpot Ms. Mimi passive-aggressively tagged me ….so…here goes….

10 Years Ago—(1995)…..I have just finished my MBA at ASU and threw one hell of a formal bash with another grad –student (Cari)…..I Miss U Cari……so if in some strange way the universe gets this too ya…….give me a call …stop by…I’m still at the same addy!!!

Anywho……I had lived in the Valley since 1989….came out here on a vacation from Wisconsin and stayed. Quit my job over the phone and had my stuff shipped out.

5 Years Ago-- (2000) I actually had to check old planners for this answer……that is soooo sad! 9/8/2000 was the day I was divorced. This will be my 5 yr anniversary!! Yee-haw….I think I will need to celebrate!

Why did I divorce him??? Well…lets see…we had a ski boat already in the drive….but HE wanted another one……I suggested we SELL the first one and pick out another one together ….nope…..he forged my name and bought another HUGE ski/bass boat….and parked it in the drive. I actually had to pull a CBR and the loan paperwork to find out MY credit paid for the f*ckin thing! OY!

That Christmas..... I stuck a huge red bow on it and advised him “he and his new mistress (the boat) can go live somewhere else”

….sign here please…..take only these items….and if you think you have a snowballs chance in hell of changing my mind or taking anything else out of this relationship…….perhaps you should start thinking of who will be zippin around the lakes while the prison guards decide which pictures of "fun on the lake with D**'s boat you will get to see....

(yes…..I took up Buddhism after that period in my life…I was a teensy bit angry……LOL)

1 Year Ago--(2004) Buried in the 4th term of my PhD…..my joy consisted of getting more than 3 hours of sleep a nite……..

Yesterday—August 29th,2005, pretty uneventful day……Spent the day with my new friends at the organization I am contracted into. I will miss this bunch of eclectic individuals as my contract officially ends today….to all of you there …..(U know where LOL) …..thanx for accepting me into your close knit group for these 3 short mo’s……….Okay…….okay…put the kleenex away Gerard….Lydia made me write that …teehee.

Hey….how many of you out there work with a previous ROCK star? I’m not naming names …..but I have rubbed shoulders with the famous !! He’s soooo humble. Rock on T!!
