Goody Goody! I've been tagged!

I have a few blogs I frequent daily and the rest I catch up on from time to time as I go blog surfing. I saw that people were tagging each other and now I've been tagged, too. I feel so popular. Thanks, Johnny.

What were you doing 10 years ago?

I had just returned from Korea where I spent a few months teaching English. I was suppose to stay for a year, but couldn't handle it. Partly, this was due to my school's director who showed up at our apartment and demanded my roommate and I go out with him and some of his business friends. They drove, they were drunk, and the whole thing was scary. I could have handled him, but mostly, I was homesick something fierce. So I came home and started working at the post office until I found out what I really wanted to do with my life. Well.....if you've perused my blog at all you will know I'm still with the post office. I discovered that blue collar government work suits me fine. You can't beat the security and the benefits. I'll blog about the job some time soon. So many stories.....

What were you doing 1 year ago?

I was trying my darndest to get pregnant. Any given day I could tell you my temperature and every other fertility indicator. We were just starting infertility testing and had just begun to talk serious about adoption. I wish, I wish, I wish we had just moved straight to adoption. I'd have a LID in April and have my referral now. :-( Oh well.

Then select five people to tag:

unfortunately, the only regular readers I know I have are my family and friends. I don't presume other adoption bloggers frequent my humble home. Therefore, I'm only tagging

my sister - Deanna's Diary
and
my nephew - Brian's Blog
