FIVE

5 years ago I was ... getting ready to graduate high school, killing time after the AP tests, hanging out with my friends all the time, Working at Bath and Body Works, registering for SLCC.

5 months ago I was ... Helping Lou get her house in order for the baby, doing minor Christmas shopping, struggling with being out of a job, spending too much time at my moms house, helping Nik register for school.

5 hours ago I was ... sleeping, yep, that's about it.

5 minutes ago I was ... helping members, calling the Call Center, counting cash, thinking about the girl scout cookies I am going to order, talking to a friend at work about the GS cookies.

Wow, I totally learned some really cool stuff about you. For instance, one of the 5 songs we love is the same. Oh, and your virtual shopping bag is awesome and the places you want to see was fun.

Interesting reading! I can't believe you don't check the mail more often. What if there's money in there?

Lena! I LOVE The American President! "Mr. President, have you ever noticed how similar the VanBuren flatware is to the Buchanan flatware?"
