Blogger Mary Demuth is tracking her 10-20-30 meme to see just how far it will spread. I picked it up from Sandy’s blog. If you decide to do it, too, leave a comment on Mary’s blog show she can keep track.

There’s a very good chance that my memories of What I Was Doing Then aren’t accurate. I can barely remember what I did yesterday, much less 10 years ago. So consider this What I Was Doing Around 10-20-30 Years Ago.

10 years ago
I was 19, working at a movie theater and going to school part-time. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, other than marry Rockford and live happily ever after.

20 years ago
I was 9. And in the fourth grade? Maybe? Definitely living in North Carolina, and definitely self-conscious about most everything. This would have been around the time that a classmate told me I wrote my lowercase Ks wrong. I never recovered.

30 years ago
I would be born in a year. At this time, though, I’m not sure that I was even a glimmer in my parents’ eyes.
