I was in my blawg archives the other day looking for something, and I came across a silly post I did on November 5, 2005.
2005. 2005!
10 years ago.
My god, time flies. I can actually remember writing this too. Crazy.
So much has changed. We live in a different city. We've got kids. We've had some big ups and downs, just like everyone does. We are not the same people, in good and bad ways.
But what about the really important stuff? The stuff that really matters?
The vital questions like, do I still like pancakes more than waffles?
And, what IS the color of my pants??????
Burning questions, my friends.
So let's compare the me of today with the sillier me of 10 (TEN! OMG) years ago -
